Why You Might Want To Get Spinal Care

Back pain is common across the world. In fact, back pain is the most common kind of chronic pain in the United States. Sometimes it can be difficult to diagnose what exactly causes the pain. Physical therapy may help for some, but not in all cases. Primary care doctors are skilled in their field, but finding a neurosurgeon can be extremely beneficial.

At Spine MD, our talented team will treat you with consideration and respect. We understand that each patient is unique and we will listen to you and forge the best path to a full recovery. Our neurosurgeons have studied and practiced for years on just the back and the issues that appear in that part of the body. They can identify and fix things like compressed nerves, disc problems, weakness and more.

How To Find A Spinal Neurosurgeon

Finding the best spinal neurosurgeon doesn’t have to be difficult and stressful. There is no need to add to the pain a patient is already experiencing. It is always a good idea to ask for recommendations, check online reviews and schedule an appointment to talk to them. If one appointment doesn’t go well, don’t hesitate to try a different surgeon. The relationship between doctor and patient must be strong so they can communicate well.

Any new patient who has questions shouldn’t hesitate to call Spine MD whenever they need. We would be happy to answer any questions in full, or schedule an appointment for a more complex and detailed discussion. Each patient is important and will be valued by our team.

How Spine Surgery Works

With back problems, there are a wide variety of surgeries that can be done to relieve symptoms and one surgery that worked for a certain patient may not work for another. One example is where a nerve has become trapped. One of our surgeons will remove some of the bone on either side of your vertebra, freeing the nerve without causing any spinal damage.

Now that may seem frightening, as all surgeries can be. However, no matter what type of surgery a patient receives, they will go into it with full understanding of what will happen while they are asleep. No patient will leave a pre-op appointment at Spine MD without knowing what to expect before and after surgery, as well as what the path to full recovery looks like.
