Topic: Surgery

Sometimes, but not always, surgery to cure you back or neck condition is necessary. How do you know when it is the right choice? Often when you have tried all over non-operative treatment choices such as physical therapy, injections or pain medicine, and they are not providing relief after several months, then it is reasonable to consider spine surgery. Another factor to consider is interruption to your daily acitivities over many months. And finally, if you have numbness in your arms or legs, you may be experiencing irreversible nerve damage which would require surgery. Not all surgeries are the same, and recent advances in minimally invasive approaches allows for quicker recovery and less damage to muscles and soft tissue.
