Neuro Spine Surgery vs. Orthopedic Spine Surgery
While both neuro spine surgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons treat conditions of the spine, there are key differences in their approach and expertise:
- Focus: Neuro spine surgeons specialize in treating conditions that affect the nervous system, including the spinal cord and nerves. Orthopedic spine surgeons primarily focus on the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the spine.
- Training: Neuro spine surgeons complete extensive training in neurosurgery, with a deep understanding of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Orthopedic spine surgeons have a background in orthopedics, focusing on the musculoskeletal system.
- Complex Cases: Neuro spine surgeons are often better equipped to handle complex cases involving tumors, nerve-related issues, or conditions affecting the spinal cord.
What Are Some Signs You Might Need Neurosurgery?
Some signs indicating a potential need for neurosurgery include persistent and severe back pain or neck pain, weakness or numbness in limbs, difficulty walking, loss of bladder or bowel control, progressive neurological symptoms, and worsening conditions despite non-surgical treatments. It’s important to consult with a specialist like Dr. Hunt to evaluate your specific situation and determine the best course of action.

Acupuncture for Cathy G.
★★★★★
I have been going here for a little over three months. I was experiencing significant knee pain and was unable to walk well and was feeling very discouraged.
They have been very professional and very helpful and I am so glad that I came here. My pain is much better and on most days I don’t have any pain at all. Every one has been kind and very helpful. The treatment has been comprehensive and included things I never even knew about.
All in one location and provided by excellent people.
Anthony Rella has been a huge help and very kind and all the treatment and services have made a big difference in how I feel and how well I am able to function.
Tim Martin, the physical therapist, has helped me get better function with my knee than I have had in many years and I also experience much less pain.
Derrick Lawlor, the chiropractor, has helped me understand things which have been going on with my back ever since I was a teenager and underwent surgery for scoliosis. Treatment and simple exercises that I can do have me feeling so much better and moving so much better and standing so much better. I never dared to hope that this would be possible. I have lived with my situation for so long and was so used to having to exist a certain way. The improvements and that I know I can continue to improve mean so much to me.
I highly recommend Denville Medical & Sports Rehab.

Common Myths About Spine Surgery: Debunked
At Denville Medical, we believe in educating our patients about their treatment options. Let’s address some common misconceptions about spine surgery:
Myth 1: All spine surgeries are highly risky and have a low success rate
Reality: While all surgeries carry some risk, modern spine surgery techniques have significantly improved outcomes. Success rates vary depending on the specific condition and procedure, but many patients experience substantial pain relief and improved function after spine surgery.
Myth 2: Spine surgery always involves large incisions and long recovery times
Reality: Advancements in minimally invasive techniques have revolutionized spine surgery. Many procedures can now be performed through small incisions, resulting in less tissue damage, reduced pain, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgeries.
Myth 3: Once you have spine surgery, you can never participate in physical activities or sports again
Reality: The goal of spine surgery is to improve your quality of life, including your ability to engage in physical activities. While recovery times vary, many patients return to their favorite sports and activities after proper rehabilitation and clearance from their surgeon.
