Get a Second Opinion
Back surgery is not something that should be decided upon after just one office visit with one doctor. At Hunt Spine, our spine surgeons know how important it is for patients to be completely informed of all of their options for treating their chronic back pain.
One doctor may recommend surgery, while another doctor may recommend over-the-counter medications and yet another may recommend physical therapy. The important thing is that you feel confident in your doctor’s expertise and that you both feel comfortable that your treatment decision is best for you.
