@molhof123 If you think you may be a surgical candidate, you could try the Mayo Neurological Surgery department or you could apply to the main Rochester Mayo campus if you are willing to travel. Both orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons may be spine specialists. You also have the Barrow Neurological Institiute in your area, and they have good spine specialists. Here is their website. https://www.barrowneuro.org/

@molhof123 Hello, I agree with Jennifer about checking in with the Mayo Phoenix Neurological Department. This is where I had my spinal fusion done in Dec 2024, and except for post op healing pain, my pre surgery pain is completely gone.
I used to think most spine surgeries were done by an orthopedic surgeon, but now know differently. My neurosurgeon did an amazing job.
