When surgery is necessary

If non-surgical treatment fails to improve back pain, our expert spine surgeons can offer procedures that relieve pressure on nerves or the spinal cord itself. Nebraska Medicine neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons use the most advanced techniques available – including minimally invasive and advanced image-guided techniques. For those who require a surgical procedure, we provide education and support to help you prepare for your procedure and aftercare.
