TESTIMONIALS
Neuro-Spine Specialist Dr. Shiau is a miracle worker! He fixed my herniated disc without any open surgery, so there was less scarring. Dr. Shiau followups on his patients and is genuinely caring! Highly Recommended.
I’m thankful to Dr. Shiau for fixing me with minimally invasive surgery. He is very knowledgeable and straightforward. He told me the level of success before treatment. He is one of the few spine doctors who perform minimally invasive surgery. I recommend Dr. Shiau because of his expertise, honesty, and excellent bedside manner!
I went to Dr. Shiau with a lousy disc herniation in my lower back, causing extreme discomfort in my leg. After trying all non-surgical treatments, we opted for surgery. Dr. Shiau discussed every detail of the operation to make me comfortable with the decision.
FAQ's
NeuroSpine treatments include non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures used to treat a wide range of medical conditions that affect the nerves, bones, joints, muscles, tissues, and ligaments of the spine.
There are various reasons for spinal disorders; the most common are:
- Bad Posture: sitting, standing, walking, and even exercising incorrectly can cause spinal pain and dysfunction.
- Injuries: from sports, automobile accidents, slip, and fall incidents, and repetitive stress, etc.
- Compressed or irritated spinal nerve(s).
- Disease and disorders that affect the spine. For instance, arthritis.
- A herniated disc also called a bulged or slipped disc, is a ruptured intervertebral disc. Intervertebral discs are located between each vertebra of the spine. They provide much needed cushioning to the vertebrae, and they act as shock absorbers.
- The intervertebral discs have a hard outer layer and a soft gel-like inner nucleus. When damaged, the outer layer ruptures and the inner gelatinous material comes out.
A slipped disc may cause extreme pain and discomfort in the back because:
- the ruptured disc is unable to provide sufficient cushioning between the vertebrae. Upon movement, the bones rub against each to great pain and discomfort.
- The ruptured disc fragments and gel-like nucleus may compress or irritate adjoining spinal nerves and tissues to cause pain and inflammation.
- NeuroSpine conditions are treated through non-invasive and minimally invasive spinal procedures.
- If identified in the early stages, most neuro spine disorders can be treated through non-invasive procedures.
- However, if identified in more advanced stages, minimally invasive procedures are more appropriate & effective.
