Back pain can be treated both by an orthopedist specializing in the treatment of the spine and by a neurosurgeon. After collecting a detailed history, examination of the spine and analysis of imaging tests, the doctor should suggest the optimal methods of conservative or surgical treatment. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of the disease, the level of severity of back pain, the attempts to treat the spine so far and the presence of comorbidities in the patient. Conservative treatment can be carried out by an orthopedist with the active participation of a physiotherapist. If an invasive procedure (e.g. spine blockade) or surgery is required, treatment should be carried out by an experienced neurosurgeon.
