What is interventional spine care—and could a less invasive treatment help you avoid or delay spine surgery?

In this episode of Spine Talks, Dr. Rita Roy, CEO of the National Spine Health Foundation, is joined by spine experts Dr. Robert Eastlack, Dr. Pearce Nunley, and Dr. Doug Beall for a conversation about the growing role of interventional spine care and how patients can navigate their treatment options.

The panel discusses why getting the right diagnosis is the critical first step in treating back and nerve pain, as well as the importance of collaboration between interventional specialists and spine surgeons. They explore treatment options ranging from injections and nerve ablation to spinal stimulation, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery—and explain why the best treatment pathway is different for every patient.

You’ll learn:
• What interventional spine care is and where it fits in the continuum of care
• Why an accurate diagnosis should come before treatment
• Minimally invasive and non-surgical options for back and nerve pain
• When spine surgery may—and may not—be necessary
• Why multidisciplinary spine care can give patients more treatment options
• The value of seeking a second opinion and becoming an informed participant in your care

The key message: Educate yourself, understand your options, and work with a care team you trust. Finding the right diagnosis and treatment pathway can help you make informed decisions and get back to the life you love.
