Spine surgery is a significant medical procedure that can have profound impacts on your quality of life. Given its complexity and potential risks, it is crucial to make well-informed decisions about your treatment options. Seeking a second opinion before undergoing spine surgery is a vital step that can provide you with additional insights, alternative treatments, and greater peace of mind. At Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians, our double board-certified surgeons are dedicated to ensuring that you receive the most appropriate and effective care for your condition.

Benefits of Seeking a Second Opinion

Spinal conditions can be complex, and symptoms such as back pain, numbness, and mobility issues can be caused by a variety of underlying issues. A second opinion can help confirm the diagnosis and ensure that you are receiving the correct treatment. At Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians, our experienced surgeons use advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to accurately assess your condition.

Surgery is often considered a last resort after exhausting all conservative treatment options. Our approach at Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians emphasizes non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, medication, and minimally invasive procedures. By seeking a second opinion, you may discover alternative treatments that could alleviate your symptoms without the need for surgery.

Evaluating Surgical Recommendations

Different surgeons may have different approaches to treating spinal conditions. A second opinion can provide you with an evaluation of the initial surgical recommendation and offer alternative surgical options if necessary. Our double board-certified surgeons are among the nation’s leading providers of endoscopic spine surgery, a minimally invasive technique that offers numerous benefits over traditional open surgery, including shorter recovery times and reduced risk of complications.

In some cases, surgery may not be necessary at all. A second opinion can help prevent unnecessary procedures by ensuring that all other treatment options have been thoroughly considered and exhausted. This cautious approach helps avoid the risks and potential complications associated with surgery while still addressing your spinal condition effectively.

Facing spine surgery can be daunting, and it’s natural to have concerns and questions. Receiving a second opinion can enhance your confidence in the treatment plan and provide peace of mind, knowing that you are making an informed decision. Our compassionate team at Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians is committed to supporting you through every step of your treatment journey, providing clear communication and comprehensive care.

Surgery was a success my left knee is fully functional again. Langer and his staff was very helpful through this entire process they assigned me a top physical therapist Cara which was great at helping me to improve now just up to me to continue to condition myself back to the way I was physically before the injury and hopefully I never have to endure any future injuries that lead to surgery. Overall a great help and experience after surgery was completed. Thank You to Langer and his staff.

Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians are excellent in the work they do. They take their time with each patient and make sure you walk away with an understanding of exactly what you're going through. I have been a patient here twice and I could 100% assure you that you will have a great experience. Further the physicians are very knowledgeable and experienced at what they do. Moreover, the entire staff are welcoming and accommodating to your needs. I work in Entertainment, and have appeared several times on television (Google "David Wells and Ricky Johnson). I recommend and trust Ortho Sport & Spine Physicians.
