The vast majority of people with pain from a complex spinal disorder like cervical disc disease can see improvements in their health and pain levels with simple, conservative treatments. Serious falls and accidents are the most common causes of cervical fractures. There are also a number of complex spinal conditions that exist, including*:

• Scoliosis
• Degenerative Diseases of the Spine 
• Spinal Deformities
• Spinal Fractures
• Traumatic Spinal Cord Injuries
• Spinal Tumors 

There are also complex conditions of the cervical spine that we treat, these can include:*

• Cervical Spondylosis 
• Radiculopathy
• Myleopathy

Our spine experts and surgeons at NY Spine can provide comprehensive back and neck care for both adults and children with these complex spinal disorders.*

Complex spine disorders can create a number of different issues like infections, tumors or spine instability. Most complex spinal surgeries are the result of revisions from prior back or neck surgery, scoliosis, or surgery across more than three spinal segments.

The majority of cervical symptoms in the geriatric patient can be treated with:

• Physical therapy
• Pain Medication including acetaminophen and anti-inflammatory medications.
• Careful monitoring

Surgery may be indicated for a patient with:

• Myelopathy
• Progressive compression of the spinal cord.
• Significant nerve root encroachment that causes pain and progressive weakness in a specific nerve root distribution.
• Immobilization should be used only if necessary due to risk of further stiffness and muscle atrophy.
