How do I know if spine surgery is right for me?

When conservative (non-surgical) treatments such as medication, physical therapy, injections and exercise have been tried, but still do not alleviate your back or neck pain, it may be time to seriously consider undergoing back surgery. Your final decision to proceed with spine surgery or not, will greatly depend on the level of pain your are experiencing, the limitations to your normal daily activities, how extensive the surgery is and if there are any adverse complications if surgery is delayed (e.g. foot drop).

Are you a candidate?

If you experience any of the below, it may be time to consult with one of Newport Orthopedic Institute's spine surgeons:

  • You've been diagnosed with a spinal deformity such as: spinal stenosis, bulging disc, herniated disc, sciatica or other chronic spine condition
  • You're having trouble performing daily tasks, standing for long periods of time, exercising or sleeping without pain or stiffness
  • You've aready undergone back surgery and haven't found relief

At Newport Orthopedic Institute our focus is always on you. Our philosophy has always been to put patients first. That's why we won't immediately jump to a surgical solution; we offer a holistic, customized care plan that takes all treatment options into consideration.
