You'll discover many options through our care network, such as lifestyle changes, physical therapy, medication or spinal surgery.
Physical Therapy
In many cases, it’s possible to avoid back surgery by doing physical therapy first. Physical therapy can reduce or eliminate pain, improve strength and flexibility and restore a normal range of movement.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Our back and neck pain specialists will work with you to find the best option to improve your quality of life. Our treatment approach begins with noninvasive or minimally invasive options. If these aren’t effective, surgery may be the best option.
Helping You Understand Your Options
Our UChicago Medicine AdventHealth neurosurgeons are leaders and innovators in their fields, performing minimally invasive, complex surgeries for spinal stenosis, spinal fusion, multi-level degenerative conditions, reconstruction and healing trauma from other spinal conditions.
We use leading-edge technologies to perform our procedures for better outcomes:
Cervical disk replacement: When one or more of the cervical discs in the neck are pressing on nerve roots, they can be removed and replaced with artificial discs thus preserving motion in the neck
Microdiscectomy or laminectomy: A minimally invasive surgical procedure to alleviate back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc or narrowing of the spinal canal (stenosis), Spinal AV fistulas and Spinal AVM
Minimally invasive spine surgery
Lumbar fusion surgery
Vertebroplasty: A minimally invasive procedure used to stabilize vertebral fractures caused by osteoporosis, spinal tumors or trauma
Your Second Opinion for Back and Neck Pain
If you have back or neck pain and have exhausted all other treatment options, you may want to see our spine specialists for a second opinion. They will help:
Determine if you have considered all possible treatment options and if there are any other nonsurgical options that can relieve symptoms without the need for surgery.
If spine surgery is necessary, what type of spine surgery should be performed. And which type of technology should be used.
Our UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Medical Group neurosurgeons have decades of experience providing exceptional neurosurgery care to patients across Chicago’s Western Suburbs.
