Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Spine Surgery orthopaedic surgeon do?
A Spine Surgery orthopaedic surgeon is a Orthopaedics physician with focused training in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of disorders affecting the spine and spinal cord. After completing Orthopaedics residency, they pursue additional fellowship training so they can manage cases that fall outside what a general orthopaedic surgeon typically handles day to day.
What conditions does a Spine Surgery orthopaedic surgeon treat?
A Spine Surgery orthopaedic surgeon commonly treats herniated disc, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal fractures, and degenerative disc disease. Many also see closely related conditions within Orthopaedics, particularly when a case is complex, atypical, or has not responded to first-line care from a general orthopaedic surgeon.
When should I see a Spine Surgery orthopaedic surgeon?
Consider seeing a Spine Surgery orthopaedic surgeon when you have persistent back or neck pain with neurological symptoms, or surgery is being considered, when a primary care clinician or general orthopaedic surgeon suggests a focused evaluation, or when you want a second opinion from a physician whose practice is concentrated on this exact area. Patients often reach a Spine Surgery orthopaedic surgeon through referral, but you can also seek one directly.
How is a Spine Surgery orthopaedic surgeon different from a general orthopaedic surgeon?
Both are board-eligible orthopaedic surgeons, but a Spine Surgery orthopaedic surgeon has additional fellowship training and a practice that focuses on the surgical and non-surgical treatment of disorders affecting the spine and spinal cord. General orthopaedic surgeons treat a broad range of Orthopaedics concerns; Spine Surgery orthopaedic surgeons concentrate on the harder or more specific cases within that range, and tend to see a higher volume of patients with herniated disc, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal fractures, and degenerative disc disease.
