TREATMENT OVERVIEW

Understanding Spine Specialist Consultation

A spine consultation relates symptoms and examination to any imaging findings. An abnormal scan does not automatically mean surgery is required.

General information to help you prepare. Your treating clinician determines suitability and care.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Options & approaches

A clinician may discuss activity, rehabilitation, medicines, further tests or a surgical opinion depending on the diagnosis.
