There are numerous reasons you might need spine surgery. In many cases, your doctor will recommend other treatments to manage pain, such as physical therapy, braces, and medications. If these techniques prove ineffective, a spine doctor might recommend surgery.
Some examples of issues that can lead to surgery include:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Herniated discs
- Severe scoliosis
- Painful bone spurs
- Adjacent segment disease
- Synovial cyst
A spine specialist can help direct you to the right treatment plan. If you need surgery, our doctors can perform it using minimally invasive techniques.
