Spine Surgery at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Allen

May 15th, 2010 -- Posted in anesthesia for spine surgery under sedation | 1 Comment »

Jim Quast found his life in turmoil from back pain. He couldn’t sleep, couldn’t sit down for more than five minutes.

Then he underwent surgery at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Allen, where spine surgeon Richard Burg M.D. utlized a decompression procedure to eliminate a cyst pressing on one of Quast’s nerve.

The small procedure utilized a small incision and, as Quast noted, “I was in in the morning and home by 3 p.m. Here I am today, healed.”

Burg says other conditions to be looked at are some neck pain, numbness and tingling in the fingers, both hands, difficulty with the balance, where they start having issues walking in a straight line, or with
feet close together, and really concentrating — when people feel like they’re really unsteady on their feet.

“That’s a sign there’s pressure on spinal cord, rather than nerves,” Burg says. “If you have something like that, it’s important to get it looked at because you could have significant deterioration of all the motor and sensory functions as well as balance if things get worse when there is pressure on the spinal cord.”
