Answering Your Spine Health Questions

The more you know about your spine health, the more empowered you’ll be as you and your family take care of your health. We’re here to answer these frequently asked questions. Your care team will be there to answer additional questions you have — big or small — throughout your journey.

  • When should I see a spine specialist for back or neck pain?

    You should see a spine specialist if your back or neck pain lasts more than 4 to 6 weeks despite conservative care, or immediately if you experience alarming symptoms like radiating pain down your arms or legs, numbness, weakness or loss of bladder control.

  • What spine symptoms need emergency care?

    Spine symptoms requiring immediate emergency care include sudden, severe back or neck pain, especially after a fall or accident. You should also seek urgent attention if you experience progressive weakness or numbness in your limbs, difficulty standing or lose control of your bowels or bladder.

  • What are the differences between back pain, sciatica and nerve pain?

    Back pain is a localized symptom stemming from muscles, ligaments, or bones in the spine. Sciatica is a specific type of nerve pain caused by the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. While back pain feels like a dull ache, nerve pain is typically sharp, shooting and electrical.

  • Do I need an MRI, CT scan or X-ray for spine pain?

    You don’t typically need immediate imaging unless you have alarming symptoms or severe trauma, cancer history, fever or sudden weakness. If pain persists after 4 to 6 weeks of conservative care, your doctor would likely choose an X-ray for bone fractures/alignment, a CT scan for detailed bone structure or an MRI to evaluate soft tissues and nerves.

  • What is minimally invasive spine surgery, and how is it different from traditional spine surgery?

    Minimally invasive spine surgery uses small incisions and advanced imaging or tubular retractors to gently separate rather than cut surrounding muscles. Unlike traditional open spine surgery, which requires long cuts and stripping muscles away from the bone, a minimally invasive approach reduces tissue damage, resulting in minimal blood loss, less postop pain and a faster recovery.
