Our back and neck doctors attempt to approach each person with the option of conservative treatment but in some cases, back surgery will be the final choice. We try to avoid surgery mainly because any type of surgery is still a major surgery, plus most of our patients have high recovery rates with non-surgical forms of treatment. If you’re still not recovering after alternative treatment methods have been exhausted then we suggest back surgery.
