Frequently Asked Questions
Is spine surgery my only option?
No. Many spine conditions improve with conservative treatment (physical therapy, medications, injections). Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatment fails or for certain urgent conditions.
How long is recovery after spine surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure. Minimally invasive procedures may allow return to activities in weeks. Complex surgeries require longer recovery. Rehabilitation accelerates recovery.
Will I be paralyzed after spine surgery?
Paralysis is a rare complication. Modern techniques and monitoring minimize risk. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks for your procedure.
What is minimally invasive spine surgery?
Surgery using small incisions and specialized instruments, causing less tissue damage than traditional open surgery. Benefits include faster recovery and less pain.
Do you perform brain surgery?
Yes. Our neurosurgeons perform various brain procedures including tumor surgery and trauma surgery.
When is neurosurgery an emergency?
Emergencies include: cord compression with weakness or bowel/bladder dysfunction, significant brain hemorrhage, worsening neurological deficits. Seek immediate care for these symptoms.
