The result? The majority of spine operations are unnecessary and many surgeries are performed on spines with normal, age-related conditions.When performed for a specific anatomical problem with matching symptoms, the outcomes are consistently satisfying. Conversely, when surgery is conducted to address pain without a clear source, the consequences can be unpredictable, with a high percent of patients faring poorly or becoming much worse (catastrophic). A failed spinal surgery can virtually destroy one's life. Additionally, when a patient's nervous system is fired up from stress, results are often poor.A common cry from patients is, \"If I only knew how badly this could turn out, I would have never had this surgery.\" The depth of frustration at making the wrong decision is beyond words because there is no turning back.If you are facing a decision about spine surgery, \u003ci\u003eDo You Really Need Spine Surgery?\u003c\/i\u003e provides you and your medical providers important information to help make the best choice. All relevant variables are addressed and organized into a \"treatment grid.\" With this grid, you and your health care team can determine the most effective approach and course of action, with full consideration to the potential downside of a failed spinal surgery.\u003ci\u003eDo You Really Need Spine Surgery?\u003c\/i\u003e gives back control of the surgical decision to you, the patient.
