Back Pain

At Baylor Neurosurgery Associates, we strive to attain the best possible healing and recovery for every patient. Because every patient is unique, we prescribe treatment based on a thorough evaluation, which we perform utilizing technological advancements available. We believe in evaluating patients promptly and educating them on their diagnosis, so they can play an active role in the decision-making and treatment process. Our clinical experience has shown us that patients who participate in their own health care decisions are far more likely to achieve an optimal level of healing and recovery.

During your initial visit you will be seen by our staff who will ask you about your medical history and your symptoms. A focused neurological examination will then be made by your doctor.

While many patients want to discuss in great detail the exact event which may have caused their injury, the most important information your health care team needs involves your symptoms (such as where you have pain, weakness, numbness, etc.) and what limitations these symptoms place on your every day activities.

After reviewing your medical history and diagnostic tests, you will be presented with a number of treatment options. We will inform you of the risks and benefits of each option and will assist you in making the final decision concerning which option is best for you.
