Spinal Surgery
Spinal problems are nearly ubiquitous. They can range from self-limited low back pain to disabling arm or leg pain to arm or leg weakness. Most of these conditions can be treated non-operatively with a period of rest, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy or injections.
When these methods fail, surgery may be needed. Treatments can be anything from simple microdiskectomies to minimally invasive fusions to classic open fusions.
