Spinal surgery

Our goal is to comprehensively diagnose your symptoms and provide you with individualized, expert advice and support throughout the entire treatment process. In most cases, there is no immediate need for spinal surgery, unless it is an emergency. Acute and severe paralysis rarely occurs suddenly without warning signs. Therefore, in most cases, we have time to first use conservative therapies and wait to see how the pain responds.

However, if surgical intervention is necessary, we attach great importance to providing you, the patient, with comprehensive information about the surgical procedure, the advantages and disadvantages of different methods, the expected results, and the postoperative course. A detailed consultation with the anesthesiologist is also part of good preparation for spinal surgery.
