When should I see an orthopedic specialist?
If your joint, muscle, or tendon pain persists for more than a few weeks, keeps recurring, or interferes with your daily life, it is advisable to consult an orthopedic specialist. You should also seek an orthopedic evaluation after an injury if the pain or loss of function does not improve as expected.
Do I need a referral to see an orthopedic specialist?
No. You can book an appointment directly without a referral.
What happens during an orthopedic consultation?
The orthopedic specialist will discuss your symptoms, examine the affected area, and assess the need for further treatment. If necessary, imaging studies may be recommended, or treatment may be provided during the appointment.
Can an orthopedic specialist perform an ultrasound examination?
Yes. Ultrasound is commonly used to evaluate tendons, muscles, bursae, and other soft tissues in many musculoskeletal conditions.

Pain in the cervical spine and the spine is common and can significantly affect daily life, work ability, and overall quality of life. Many people first seek care from an orthopedic specialist, but often a neurosurgeon is the right expert to identify the true cause of the problem.
A neurosurgeon specializes in the nervous system and the spine. This means that nerve compression, disc problems, and other conditions affecting the cervical spine and back fall directly within their area of expertise.
When should you see a neurosurgeon?
You should consider seeing a neurosurgeon especially if you have:
- Persistent pain in the cervical spine or back
- Radiating pain in the arms or legs
- Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness
- Suspected disc herniation or nerve compression
- Recurrent or worsening spinal problems
Do I need a referral to see a neurosurgeon?
No. You can book an appointment with a neurosurgeon directly without a referral.
What conditions does a neurosurgeon treat?
A neurosurgeon diagnoses and treats conditions such as:
- Herniated (slipped) discs
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Nerve root compression
- Numbness in the arms or legs
- Nerve-related pain
- Muscle weakness in the arms or legs
- Disorders of the cervical spine
- Disorders of the lumbar spine
- Peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes, such as carpal tunnel syndrome
What happens during a neurosurgical consultation?
During your appointment, the neurosurgeon will review your symptoms, previous examinations, and medical history. A clinical examination will be performed, and if necessary, further imaging studies such as an MRI scan or CT scan may be recommended.
When should back pain be evaluated by a neurosurgeon?
If your back pain is accompanied by pain radiating into the leg, numbness, muscle weakness, or if your symptoms persist for several weeks despite treatment, a neurosurgical evaluation is recommended.
When should sciatica be evaluated?
If your sciatica symptoms are severe, persistent, or accompanied by muscle weakness, difficulty walking, or numbness, you should consult a neurosurgeon.
Does a herniated disc always require surgery?
No. Most herniated discs can be treated without surgery. A neurosurgeon will assess whether conservative treatment or surgery is the most appropriate option based on your symptoms and examination findings.
When is spinal surgery necessary?
Spinal surgery may be considered if nerve compression causes significant pain, muscle weakness, or impaired function and non-surgical treatment has not provided sufficient relief.
