Outpatient Lumbar Spine Consultation & Treatment Planning
Careful neurosurgical review for adults with back pain, sciatica, leg pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, spinal stenosis, herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or lumbar imaging findings that need a clearer plan.
This outpatient visit is for scheduled consultation, imaging review, follow-up, and second opinions. New severe neurologic deficits, acute trauma, signs of stroke, seizure emergencies, or rapidly worsening symptoms should be directed to emergency care.
Who this visit is for
When symptoms and imaging need a careful second look.
Lumbar spine problems can cause pain in the lower back, buttock, hip, leg, or foot. The consultation is designed to clarify whether imaging findings match the symptoms, what has already been tried, and whether the next step should be continued conservative care, more testing, follow-up, or surgery.
Back pain with imaging findings
MRI or X-ray findings that need neurosurgical explanation and treatment planning.
Sciatica and leg symptoms
Leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that may reflect nerve compression.
Stenosis or disc herniation
Spinal canal narrowing, herniated disc, disc bulge, or pinched nerve concerns.
Second opinions
A measured review before deciding whether surgery is necessary.
Treatment planning
Surgery is a decision, not a starting point.
A lumbar spine consultation helps identify whether pain is likely coming from a nerve, disc, joint, stenosis, instability, fracture, deformity, or another cause. Many patients need clear explanation and a well-organized plan more than they need an immediate operation.
