  • Is surgery necessary for herniated disk?

    Not always. Most patients with herniated discs can be managed with nonoperative care. It is very important that you and your Primary Care doctor discuss your current complaints to ensure you have no "red flags." Then establish a care plan that will yield the highest results with the lowest risk for your situation. Can plans can be as simple as behavior modification with rest and anti-inflammatories but could also include physical therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture and even interventional pain management. Hope you feel better soon! READ MORE

  • Do I need a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic surgeon for back problems?

    Not necessarily. Identifying excess weight is a good first start. Begin by changing your behaviors which might contribute to the back pain. Make a plan with your Primary care physician to reduce your weight and if the pain is significant ask for screening for red flags before your begin a treatment plan. Surgeons are generally only needed for severe cases of those involving certain red flags. But you're on the right track be identifying potential causes. READ MORE
