Providers

Spine surgery covers a range of procedures that treat problems of the back and neck, such as herniated discs, nerve compression, instability, or deformities. It seeks to relieve pain, decompress nerve structures, and, when necessary, provide stability to the spine.

When is it indicated? It's usually considered when pain, weakness, or neurological changes persist despite non-surgical treatments.

What to expect? Techniques vary widely, from minimally invasive approaches to fusions; the indication depends on the diagnosis, imaging studies, and individual evaluation.

Which specialist performs it? Neurosurgeons and orthopedists with a spine focus are the ones who perform it. Since every back is different, it's wise to discuss options and expectations in detail with a specialist.

Before you book

Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.

El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
