Most back pain doesn’t require surgery. 🧠🦴

It’s a common misconception that seeing a spine specialist automatically means surgery is the next step. For most patients, conservative care like physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and guided medical support are the first line of treatment.

At Dr. Luke Macyszyn Neurosurgery, the priority is always finding the approach that’s right for you, whether that’s ongoing conservative care or a surgical evaluation when it’s truly needed.

A spine fracture is a break in one or more of the vertebrae—the bones that make up your spine. These injuries can happen after a fall or accident, due to osteoporosis, or from other underlying conditions that weaken the bones. Spine fractures may affect stability and, in some cases, place pressure on nearby nerves or the spinal cord.

Symptoms can vary depending on the location and severity of the fracture. Some patients experience persistent back pain or tenderness, muscle spasms, or noticeable changes in posture or spinal alignment. Others may notice neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs, back muscle weakness, or changes in bowel or bladder function.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms—especially after an injury or fall—early evaluation is important. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and support proper healing. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t wait to seek care.
