Spine Operations

Spinal surgery is sometimes necessary after a sudden or slow-developing injury. Some operations help correct posture or an anatomical lesion when there is little to no pain. When there is pain such as in the case of a herniated or torn disc, the surgery will help correct the problem and reduce the pain.

Orthopedic surgeons conduct these operations. Recovery times vary based on the type of back problem, the complexity of the surgery, and other individual health issues.

If you have been experiencing chronic back pain, you may or may not need surgery. Fortunately, many people who have back pain are able to alleviate it with physical therapy, corrective footwear, weight loss, or other steps.

Our specialists conduct an evaluation and order X-rays or imaging tests to determine the cause of the pain.

If surgery is needed for your injury or back problem, an orthopedic surgeon will discuss your options with you.

You may be at risk for developing various back problems that require surgery even if there are no severe symptoms yet.
