Volume matters — surgeons who perform 100+ of a given procedure annually typically have better outcomes. Ask about their complication rates, implant choices, and whether they use minimally invasive techniques. All providers on AdvOrtho are verified against the national NPI registry.
How do I know if I need spine surgery or if physical therapy will work?
Most spine conditions — herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease — respond to 6–12 weeks of structured physical therapy without surgery. Surgery becomes appropriate when there is nerve compression causing progressive weakness, bladder or bowel symptoms, or pain that has genuinely failed conservative treatment. Get a second opinion before committing to spine surgery.
