While surgery can be an effective way to correct spinal conditions, you may have had an unfortunate experience where the surgery failed to produce results or the surgeon made a mistake that ended up making things worse. Rather than give up, it is important to find a spine professional that specializes in correcting failed surgeries. If your surgery happened many years ago and you are still experiencing pain and discomfort, modern advancements in treatment and technology can help you regain control of the situation. This can be effective for failed neck and back surgeries, so be sure to talk with your doctor or spine professional during your next appointment to discuss the next steps. Know When to See the Doctor

While the Internet can be a great way to learn more about a condition that you may have, nothing beats talking to your doctor when symptoms start to show. Researching a spine condition or issue can help you identify warning signs to look for, and when you notice them, you should make an appointment with your doctor. This way you will be able to catch any problems in the earliest stages, which will give you the greatest chance of successful treatment. This is especially important after you have begun treatment or are recovering from surgery, because you want to make sure that everything is progressing as it should. When you are on the road to better spine health, you want to avoid any roadblocks that get in the way. If you have any questions about your treatment plan, make an appointment to talk with your doctor and get the answers you need.

    Dr. Melemed is truly the best! He genuinely cares about his patients, and it shows in every aspect of the care he provides. I recently had an outpatient procedure, and I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with the surgery center. …

    Dr. Melamed is an exceptional physician. I initially came to him for my spine concerns, but he took the time to look at the bigger picture, truly listen, and help me find the right resources and specialists for a separate, complex medical condition outside his specialty. …

    I was incapacitated, couldn’t stand, sit or walk. The pain was excruciating. I’ll spare you the diagnosis, but it was serious. I could only lie down with my foot up to reduce the pain. It required EMERGENCY surgery. …

    I want to thank Dr. Melamed for taking great care of me. Dr. Melamed performed a minimally invasive microdiscectomy to free nerve that was being pinched and causing pain in my back and in my leg. Dr. Melamed’s approach is a very conservative, which I very much appreciate. …
