When should you see a
Spine Specialist
Severe pain
Severe pain that affects the activities of daily living, makes walking difficult, or comes on very suddenly may require the attention of a spine specialist. Lower back and/or leg pain that lasts several weeks or months should also be addressed by a specialist.
Experience muscle weakness, numbness, or tingling in the legs or arms
Severe numbness, weakness or tingling of the limbs could signal a medical emergency. Better to see a spine specialist early to prevent irreparable damage including incontinence or paralysis.
At our clinic, we generally try to explore non-surgical treatment such as activities modification, physiotherapy and orthotics before recommending invasive intervention options.
