Location, Location, Location

Did you know that the rate of spine surgery is related to geographic location? Spine surgery rates vary six-fold across geographic areas of the United States, including North Carolina. Differences in patient populations and health care supply have explained only about 10% of this variation. As well, you are also more likely to have spine surgery once you have an MRI or other advance imaging study. The indications for a patient receiving an MRI and advanced imaging is not widely agreed upon in the medical community. An MRI or any diagnostic procedure is indicated if the results will change your treatment plan. Physical Therapy and myofascial release are a safe, effective and inexpensive treatment for back pain, and you should be evaluated by a physical therapist before you receive an MRI or consider spine surgery.
