The spine is a complex structure that provides both mobility and strength. Proper functioning of the neck and back allows for fluid, effortless movement. But, when there is a deformity, injury, or disease of the spine, common activities such as turning, bending, or stretching often become painfully out of reach.

How do I know if spine surgery is right for me?
The spine can be affected by arthritis, degenerative wear and tear problems affecting the joints and disks, as well as a variety of other abnormalities that cause back or neck pain, numbness, and weakness. Problems in the low back or lumbar spine can affect the leg and foot, while problems in the cervical spine of the neck can affect the arms and hands.
Modern spinal care is very complex. To determine if surgery is needed, patients should seek out highly trained experts such as the fellowship-trained specialist of the OrthoNC Spine Team.
