Dr. Philip York answers the commonly asked question, "What conditions require spine surgery?"
For most conditions, Dr. York recommends that patients pursue conservative measures first, such as injections or physical therapy. However, if the the patient is experiencing severe debilitating pain, concerning weakness, or they've exhausted every other method, then it's time to talk about surgery.
Here are some conditions that likely will improve with conservative measures, but could require surgery if they don't improve.
• Pinched Nerve
• Disc herniation
• Stenosis (a narrowing around all the nerves in the back).
• Arthritic conditions
• Scoliosis
