For many people, back or neck pain is a constant companion that affects sleep, work and everyday life. While most cases improve with rest, physical therapy or medication, some conditions require a more long-term solution. Spine surgery may be the answer when other treatments haven’t provided relief.
What Is Spine Surgery?
Spine surgery refers to procedures performed on the bones, discs or nerves of the spinal column to relieve pain, restore function or correct structural problems. At Onvida Health, you’re never navigating this journey alone. Our surgical team works closely with imaging, physical therapy, and pain management specialists to provide coordinated, comprehensive care—from diagnosis through recovery.
Spine surgery is typically considered when you experience:
- Persistent back or neck pain that hasn’t improved with conservative treatment
- Numbness, tingling or weakness in your arms or legs
- Pain that radiates down the leg (sciatica) or into the shoulder and arm
- Loss of bladder or bowel control due to nerve compression
- Spinal instability following injury or fracture
What to Expect
Many spine procedures today are minimally invasive and have a faster return to daily life compared to traditional open surgery. Recovery varies by procedure and your care team will guide you through every step, including pre-surgical evaluations, imaging and a personalized rehabilitation plan.
Is Spine Surgery Right for You?
Surgery is always considered thoughtfully and only after non-surgical options have been explored. If you’ve been living with chronic back or neck pain, the right place to start is a conversation with a specialist. To learn more or schedule a consultation, visit Spine Surgery.
