Maintaining healthy bones and joints is vital for staying mobile, active, and independent. Injuries to these structures, particularly from workplace accidents, can disrupt your daily life and leave you dealing with persistent pain and limited mobility. At Elite Specialty Care in Clifton, NJ, our orthopedic and spine specialists focus on helping patients recover from work-related injuries through advanced surgical solutions.
Our back surgery techniques address the root cause of chronic back pain, providing lasting relief and helping patients regain control over their lives. Whether you’ve experienced a slip-and-fall, a heavy-lifting injury, or a workplace accident, our multidisciplinary team guides you toward recovery.
Why Consider Back Surgery for Workplace Injuries?
Workplace injuries, especially those involving the back, can be complex and difficult to treat. If non-surgical approaches like physical therapy, medications, or ergonomic adjustments haven’t alleviated your pain, surgery might be the next step. Our advanced spine surgery techniques target the structural issues causing your pain, providing long-term relief and restoring function.
Benefits of Back Surgery for Workplace Injuries
- Effective Pain Relief: Back surgery addresses the source of your discomfort, ensuring relief from chronic pain rather than temporary symptom management.
- Restored Functionality: Back surgery can help you regain mobility and the ability to perform daily tasks by correcting structural damage in the spine.
- Improved Quality of Life: Reduced pain and enhanced mobility allow you to focus on what matters most—your work, family, and personal goals.
Conditions Commonly Treated with Back Surgery
Chronic pain from workplace injuries often stems from underlying conditions that may require surgical intervention. At Elite Specialty Care, we specialize in diagnosing and treating these conditions with precision and care:
- Herniated Discs: Injuries that compress spinal nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness, can often benefit from a discectomy or similar procedure.
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, often exacerbated by repetitive strain or heavy lifting, can cause debilitating pain and neurological issues.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Workplace injuries can accelerate the wear and tear on spinal discs, leading to chronic discomfort and limited mobility.
- Sciatica and Nerve Compression: Back injuries that press on the sciatic nerve can cause radiating pain down the leg, requiring surgical relief.
- Spinal Fractures: Falls or heavy impacts can cause fractures destabilizing the spine, often necessitating surgical repair.
Advanced Surgical Options for Workplace Injuries
We offer a variety of surgical procedures tailored to meet the unique needs of patients recovering from workplace injuries. Our team prioritizes minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time and improve surgical outcomes.
Surgical Treatments We Provide
- Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS): Ideal for herniated discs and spinal stenosis, MISS involves smaller incisions, reducing tissue damage and promoting faster recovery.
- Discectomy: This procedure removes damaged portions of a herniated disc to relieve nerve compression and associated pain.
- Laminectomy: Effective for spinal stenosis, this procedure removes part of the vertebra to reduce pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.
- Spinal Fusion: For conditions like degenerative disc disease, this procedure stabilizes the spine by fusing two or more vertebrae, reducing pain and improving mobility.
- Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS): For chronic pain that hasn’t responded to other treatments, this implantable device reduces pain signals by delivering mild electrical impulses to the spinal cord.
Orthopedic Solutions for Workplace Injuries
In addition to spine surgery, our orthopedic team treats a wide range of injuries affecting other joints and bones. For many patients, workplace accidents also impact the shoulders, knees, or hips, requiring specialized orthopedic care.
Orthopedic Treatment Options
- Arthroscopic Surgery: A minimally invasive option for repairing joint damage and restoring function.
- Fracture Repair: Ensuring proper healing of broken bones sustained during accidents.
- Joint Replacement: For severe damage to the hip, knee, or shoulder joints, total or partial replacements may be necessary to restore mobility.
- Ligament and Tendon Repair: Common in workplace falls or high-impact injuries, these procedures help repair tears and prevent long-term mobility issues.

These methods are often used as a first-line approach before considering surgical interventions.
