COMPREHENSIVE MUSCULOSKELETAL CARE
Spine Surgery
Neck and back conditions can cause localized pain as well as numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that travels into an arm or leg. Although many spine problems improve without surgery, some conditions require a surgical evaluation.
Bay Area Orthopaedics carefully considers symptoms, examination findings, imaging, previous treatment, and overall health before recommending a procedure. When surgery is appropriate, the goal is to relieve nerve compression, improve stability, reduce pain, and preserve or restore function.
