Frequently asked questions
Is spine surgery risky?
Spine surgery carries a low risk when performed by experts. The risk of paralysis is less than 0.5% and most patients recover without major complications.

Is spine surgery expensive?
Costs vary by procedure type and implant selection. Simple surgeries are affordable, while complex deformity corrections may cost more.
