The lumbar Spine is the area of the lower spine between the rib cage and the pelvis. Collectively, the lumbar vertebrae are the largest moving segments of the spine and are at particular risk of developing disorders that lead to individuals experiencing pain and discomfort in the lower back. Dr. Hooman Melamed, one of the foremost Los Angeles spine surgeons, treats a range of disorders affecting this critical area of the spine.
There are five principal conditions that affect the lumbar spine, including, a herniated disk, lumbar spinal stenosis, lumbar spine trauma, lumbar spine vertebral tumors and lumbar spine deformity. In all of these cases, seeing a board certified professional spine surgeon such as Dr. Melamed is the most important step to take in resolving any of the problems mentioned. In each of these cases, treatment generally includes either pain medication, physical therapy or surgery. The most important element in treating any spine condition, and especially in the case of lumbar spine issues is obtaining an accurate diagnosis of the problem at the soonest possible time. This is particularly true in the case of symptoms that appear due to a trauma, such as a car accident or fall. The sooner the condition is diagnosed, the sooner a treatment plan can be put into place that ensures the optimum chance of a full recovery.
