Back surgery may be recommended to address spinal damage arising from a variety of causes, including traumatic injuries as well as the ongoing wear and tear associated with the natural aging process. Tidewater Orthopaedics, a specialty practice serving the entire Hampton, Williamsburg, and Newport News, Virginia, area, initially treats patients with spinal conditions conservatively, utilizing our excellent, in-house physical therapy team whenever possible. Additionally, if conservative treatments prove ineffective and surgical intervention becomes necessary, our fellowship-trained spine surgeon (American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons), Dr. Jonathan Mason, offers both traditional procedures and newer techniques. We can recommend the specific type of surgery that is best suited for a particular patient, with the goal of relieving persistent pain and helping the patient return to an active lifestyle.
At our office locations in Hampton, VA, and Williamsburg, VA, some of the common spinal conditions we address conservatively, and with back surgery when necessary, include:
In addition to non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, anti-inflammatories, and pain management, spine surgeon offers a range of traditional open-spine and minimally invasive back surgery options, including:
