What is a neurosurgeon, and how are you different from an orthopedic surgeon?
While neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons are both trained to operate on the spine, neurosurgeons are spine specialists. During a standard 5-year residency, orthopedic surgeons learn to operate on almost all of the bones and muscles in the body, leaving limited time to focus on the spine. If they want to specialize in spine care, they must complete an extra 1-year fellowship. On the other hand, neurosurgeons focus exclusively on the brain, spine and peripheral nerves through their entire 7-year residency. During this period, neurosurgeons perform daily spine care to hone their expertise of this delicate, important area of the body.
In fact, many people suffer from spine-related pain without even realizing it because they feel the pain in their arms and legs. Radiating pain almost always involves the spine compressing nerves that extend into the limbs, and neurosurgeons are experts at differentiating between true joint pain and spine-sourced nerve pain.
Pain often can’t wait — that’s why we’re committed to scheduling most patients within 10 business days.
No matter why you’re coming to us to see a back surgeon in San Antonio, we prioritize your time and need for care. All of our providers are specially trained to assess your symptoms and provide a recommendation for next steps. Also, most of our staff speaks Spanish and we can provide in-house American Sign Language translation services. At Neurosurgery & Spine Consultants, we all work together to provide the relief you need, as fast as possible, while taking a cautious approach to surgery. It’s a last resort for us, and while we won’t hesitate to recommend surgery when we believe it’s appropriate for neck, low-back or other spine pain in San Antonio, exhausting more conservative care options first is our philosophy.
