FAQs
Why should I see a spine surgeon if I am not considering surgery?
A spine surgeon can often diagnose your condition faster and more accurately than a physician without similar training. The sooner you have your problem diagnosed, the sooner you can gain an understanding of what's causing your neck/back or arm/leg pain and take steps to recover.
Why do I need bone density testing?
Bone density testing is given to determine if a patient has osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a painless condition that results in people being at increased risk for fractures. It can be easily diagnosed and treatments are available which can halt and possibly reverse the process. Read more about
