Second Opinions

Looking for a second opinion from a German Board-Certified Spine Surgeon specialised in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery techniques?

Spinal surgery can be an effective and permanent solution for many individuals who suffer from chronic or debilitating back pain. However, it is also an invasive and potentially risky procedure, and it is important for patients to fully understand the potential risks as well as the potential benefits to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the surgery.

While the success rate for spinal surgery is generally high, risks include:

• Infection
• Nerve damage
• Paralysis
• Chronic pain
• Failure for the desired result,
• Risk of recurrence of the condition

In addition to considering the potential risks, it is also important to understand the recovery and rehabilitation process, and how the type of operation and your overall health impacts the time it takes to recover.

In some cases, alternative treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or chiropractic care may be effective in treating back pain without the need for surgery.
