A pinched nerve is one key indicator that surgery might help ease your back pain, says orthopedic surgeon Dr. Eugene Carragee of highly rated Stanford University Medical Center in California. “If the surgeon tells you something as vague as, ‘You have disc degeneration and we are going to fuse multiple segments in your back,’ that is something to be worried about,” he says.

Know your back surgery options

Physical therapy, chiropractic care, pain medication and acupuncture may all help with back pain, but for those still suffering, surgery may be the only option. Discuss with your doctor which back-surgery procedures will help to get you back in motion.
