Back surgery is not for everyone. Surgery is most effective when performed to correct anatomical defects that have been clearly identified and diagnosed. For example, scoliosis is a spinal deformity that can be successfully treated through modern surgical techniques.
On the other hand, back pain, in general, may not be successfully resolved with orthopedic spine surgery, even though the surgery itself is performed successfully. At Hunt Spine, we never rush our patients into spine surgery. It is important to understand that in non-emergency situations, spine surgery is considered an elective surgery. Back pain can sometimes be addressed as effectively through physical therapy and other alternative treatments such as spine surgery. It is considered a beneficial practice to undergo 6 months of alternative therapy before considering orthopedic spine surgery.
