Or, have you been diagnosed with a condition like disc herniation or spinal stenosis and don't know where to go next? Talk to a surgeon from the Spine Center to find out when surgery could help, or hinder! Surgery often is NOT the right answer for positive long-term results. Join the conversation at facebook.com/dartmouthhitchcock. You don't need a Facebook account to join in! Ask your questions or simply hear from others who have similar concerns. Though Dr. Pearson cannot give you a diagnosis he can offer some helpful tips to get you pointed in the right direction.
