Do I Need Spine Surgery?

When your doctor tells you that spine surgery may be necessary, it is only natural to have lots of questions. One of the most common questions we get asked is, “Do I need an orthopedic surgeon or a neurosurgeon for my spine surgery?” This is a good question, and one we are happy to answer in our Dallas spine clinic. Over the last 25 years, both neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons have become popular choices for spine surgery. In both specialties, there are a handful of subspecialties, including:
