When is Back (or Neck) Surgery the Right Choice?

When medication and physical therapy don’t relieve your ongoing neck or back pain over time—and the pain keeps you from working, sleeping or doing your normal daily activities—it may be time to talk to your doctor about exploring spine surgery.  

Less Pain and Quicker Recovery with Minimally Invasive Surgery

The good news is that many spine surgeries can now be done using minimally invasive methods, with benefits that include:

  • Smaller incisions that help prevent harm to nearby tissue and muscles
  • Reduced recovery time which gets you back to your daily activities more quickly
  • Shortened hospital stay, with most patients able to go home the same day
  • Better cosmetic results, with very little scarring
