What If I Do Not Need Surgery?
Most back and neck problems do not require surgery. It is important to utilize proper non-operative treatment techniques to give patients the opportunity to improve without surgery.
Treatment options include:
- Supervised structured physical therapy
- Strengthening program
- Manual therapy
- Water therapy
- McKenzie exercise program
- Epidural steroid injections
- Nerve blocks
