Do You Need Back Surgery?

Discovered this article in Web MD that is a must read especially if you are considering backpain surgery.

Surgery for Back Pain and Sciatica symptoms has come on a long way but it still can be major surgery. My neurosurgeon told me they do less back surgeries now than they used to, preferring people wherever possible to try non invasive or less invasive methods first.

Do discuss all back surgery options carefully with your surgeon and healthcare providers to ensure if it is indeed a good choice for you and your situation.

Be aware of the Red Flags of back pain as well (things you must see a healthcare provider about urgently) so you can discuss any of them with your healthcare provider.

Ensure you have a clear diagnosis, a very competent surgeon, appropriate technology and a good aftercare program set up.

Neurosurgeon Dr Aaron Filler of the Institute for Nerve Medicine in Santa Monica, California, discusses the issues surrounding back surgeries to alleviate spine and nerve pain in his book you may like to consider;
