Spine Surgery

Spine, neck or back pain is very common.  Still, this type of pain can be overwhelming and seriously impair your everyday quality of life. Fortunately, there are a number of clinical interventions that have proven to be effective at reducing, or even eliminating this pain.

Back and neck pain can be acute or sudden, or it can be chronic.  If your pain comes on suddenly, maybe as the result of an accident, it can sometimes be critical to seek treatment right away to avoid more serious medical problems.  A number of spine disorders can also develop gradually, as we age.  Both chronic and acute pain is treatable in most patients. 

Regardless of the cause or type of back or neck pain, Manhattan Surgical Hospital strives to provide state-of-the-art surgical care to each and every patient treated.  There are a number of minimally invasive treatments that can help reduce a patient's pain level, or even end back pain for good.

Our surgeons are highly trained and experienced in completing neck, back and spine procedures.  Our staff and surgeons will follow up with you after the surgery and keep your primary care provider (PCP) in the loop about your condition and treatments.
