Neck & Back - Did You Know?

The spine includes the bones of the neck and back - a column of 33 bones, or vertebrae, that extend from the skull down to the pelvis.

Expert Spine, Neck & Back Specialists in Wake County

The spine team consists of board-certified, fellowship-trained spine surgeons, Dr. Mikles , Dr. Saitta, and Dr. Thibaudeau, who are trained to treat strains, sprains, fractures, and other spinal conditions or injuries. The spine surgeons collaborate with non-operative physicians who are also spinal specialists (physiatrists) to treat most problems without surgery. For problems that might benefit from surgical treatment, the spine surgeons perform surgery using the most modern techniques and in a minimally-invasive fashion when possible. Our neck and back specialists are available at all of our clinics in Wake County, NC.

Common Neck and Back Issues Treated at Raleigh Orthopaedic

More than 80% of adults will experience significant back or neck pain at some time during their life. In most cases, back pain is due to a sprain or strain. If you have pain that radiates down your arm or leg, this may be a sign of a spine condition.

Neck and Back Treatments at Raleigh Orthopaedic: Surgical vs. Nonsurgical Treatments

At Raleigh Orthopaedic, our neck and back specialists will carefully learn your medical history and diagnose your condition via your symptoms, physical examination, and any necessary medical tests. Based on your diagnosis, you will be provided with a treatment plan that will ensure the best possible long-term outcome.

Nonsurgical Treatment for the Neck and Back

There is a high probability that your spine condition will not require a surgical procedure. There are many nonsurgical treatments to ease your symptoms prior to discussing spine surgery, which include ice, heat, spinal injections, physical therapy, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) medications. Exercise also relieves back pain and can potentially keep it from recurring.

The Raleigh Orthopaedic spine team is committed to providing the highest quality spine care to all of our patients in the treatment of all spine conditions. Using clinical protocols and utilizing the latest technology, our neck and back specialists strive to provide the right treatment at the right time for each patient. The goal is to empower the patient with the tools that will assist them in returning to their highest level of function.

Reasons You May Need Neck or Back Surgery

Raleigh Orthopaedic spine surgeons may recommend surgery if you have one of the following conditions:

A slipped disk that isn’t getting better on its own
Bone spurs in your spine (these are often caused by arthritis) that are putting pressure on your spinal cord
A degenerative spinal condition like stenosis (narrowing of the protective bony canal around the spinal cord) that’s causing side effects, like weakness
Weakness or numbness in your arms and legs
Trouble walking or using your hands
Lost bladder or bowel control because of a problem with the nerves in your back
A spinal infection, or a high fever with back pain — this can be a sign of a spinal infection
A broken or dislocated bone in your back
A tumor on your spinal cord
