Which medical professional is suitable for overseeing my spine health?

Several specialists in spine care encompass both surgical and non-surgical approaches. Neurosurgeons specialize in treating the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system, while orthopedic surgeons focus on the musculoskeletal system, including bones and joints. Both types of surgeons may have specialized training in spine care through fellowships. Modern spine care centers often operate as integrated facilities where multidisciplinary teams collaborate to provide comprehensive patient care. Additional professionals in these teams may include anesthesiologists, physiatrists, radiologists, rheumatologists, as well as occupational and physical therapists.
