Why see neurosurgeon

Low back pain is more than a nuisance—it’s one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. For millions, it interferes with work, sleep, and overall quality of life. Whether it's due to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or degenerative spine disease, getting the right diagnosis and treatment plan is crucial. But when conservative measures fail and you need expert help, whom should you trust with your spine?

The choice often comes down to two specialists: orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons. While both are trained to treat spinal disorders, there's a compelling reason why more patients are turning to board-certified neurosurgeons like Dr. Jeffrey Kachmann for their spine care.

Why Neurosurgeons Are Uniquely Qualified for Spine Conditions
Neurosurgeons are the only medical specialists trained specifically to diagnose and treat the full spectrum of spinal disorders, from nerve compression to complex spinal cord issues. Unlike orthopedic surgeons, who focus on bones and joints, neurosurgeons undergo rigorous training in the delicate structures of the nervous system—including the spinal cord, spinal nerves, and brain.

What sets neurosurgeons apart in spine care:

Specialized training in the nervous system
Expertise in microsurgical techniques
Advanced understanding of nerve pain and function
Board certification ensuring up-to-date surgical skills and knowledge
For anyone dealing with radiating leg pain (sciatica), numbness, weakness, or even signs of spinal cord compression, a neurosurgeon’s expertise can make all the difference in treatment outcomes.

Difficulty standing, walking, or maintaining balance
Loss of bladder or bowel control (a possible emergency)
