Spine Surgery FAQs

Most patients with back pain improve with non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, medications or injections. Surgery is typically considered when symptoms persist or when there is nerve compression, weakness or spinal instability.

Minimally invasive spine surgery uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments to treat spinal conditions while minimizing disruption to surrounding muscles and tissues. This approach may lead to less pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.

Recovery varies depending on the procedure and individual patient factors, but many patients return to light activities within several weeks. Full recovery and fusion healing may take several months.

You should consider seeing one of our spine specialists if you have persistent back or neck pain, pain radiating into the arms or legs, numbness, weakness, balance problems or symptoms that do not improve with conservative treatment.
