What, When, and Why Spine surgery is not something to take lightly. Affecting 8 out of 10 Americans, back pain can be effectively treated with conservative methods 80% of the time. Yet, more than 600,000 undergo spine surgery each year. If you have been suffering from lumbar (lower) back pain and have not found relief with conservative treatments, you might be a candidate for spine surgery. By taking this first step to gather more information before you make a decision, you are already on the track to relief. Use this guide to better understand if spine surgery might be right for you.
