Spine SurgeryNon-surgicalMost people with back and neck pain improve without surgery. That is why your spine specialist may prescribe a combination of medications, back exercises, and physical therapy as a first course of treatment. At West Augusta Spine Specialists, we will recommend the least invasive option first. SurgicalWhen spine surgery is the appropriate treatment for your condition, you should have more confidence in a surgeon who focuses on spine surgery every day. More experienced spine surgeons, who perform these procedures day in and day out, rather than dividing their time treating other ailments are ideal. At West Augusta Spine Specialists, your surgeon is a fellowship trained spine specialist with additional training in minimally invasive surgical techniques. These techniques require only minimal incisions, which tends to shorten the recovery time, reduce pain, and enable you to return to normal activies more quickly.
