Many painful symptoms can be successfully treated using conservative treatment options such as physical therapy, chiropractic or pain management injections and these are always the best and safest treatment options.  We always reserve surgery as a last resort whenever possible.  If conservative treatment options fail you or if you have other types of conditions that are not treatable by conservative means, spine surgery may be an appropriate treatment option.
