For patients with back or leg pain, the source can usually be traced to nerve pressure, such as a herniated disc in younger patients or arthritic bone spurs in older populations. Traditionally, this would leave them to choose between undergoing extensive surgery to correct the issue or continuing treatments to mitigate the pain indefinitely. At UT Southwestern, patients now have a much less invasive option in endoscopic spine surgery, an outpatient procedure to fix the underlying issue and relieve pain.Lifelong physical activity may slow cognitive decline
