If you have back pain, you should work with a spine specialist to first exhaust all conservative options before you consider spine surgery. Your regimen should include physical therapy and strengthening exercises, anti-inflammatory medications, and possibly injections such as an epidural or cortisone shot.
If all of these conservative treatments fail, you may be a candidate for spine surgery. Book a consultation with Dr. Lanman or Dr. Cuellar to discuss your options by contacting us at (310) 385-7766.
