Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What spine conditions do you treat?

A: We care for a wide range of spine issues including herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, sciatica, fractures, and posture-related conditions, disorders, and injuries of the muscles, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. A doctor who specializes in this medical specialty is called an orthopaedic (alternatively, orthopedic) surgeon.

A: If you have ongoing back or neck pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that radiates into your arms or legs, it may be time to see a specialist. Sudden loss of bladder or bowel control is considered urgent and requires immediate evaluation.

A: No. Most spine conditions improve with conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections. Surgery is usually considered only if these options don’t provide relief or if there are significant neurological symptoms.

A: Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and advanced imaging to reduce trauma to muscles and tissues. Benefits may include less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.

A: Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery. Some procedures allow patients to return to daily activities in weeks, while others may take several months. A personalized rehabilitation plan is always part of your care.

A: Your overall health, the severity of your condition, and how you’ve responded to non-surgical treatments all play a role. Your surgeon will weigh these factors and recommend the safest, most effective treatment.

A: During your visit, your provider will review your symptoms, perform a physical exam, and may order imaging such as X-rays or MRI. From there, you’ll receive a customized treatment plan.
