The top red flags for neck and back pain you shouldn't ignore

Most neck and back pain can be treated without surgery. But in some cases, certain warning signs require prompt evaluation by a neurosurgeon—a physician specializing in conditions affecting the brain, spine and peripheral nerves. Brad Duhon, MD, FAANS and Erik Parker, MD, FAANS of Boulder Neurosurgical & Spine Associates of BCH explain the red flag symptoms that shouldn't be ignored, when it's time to seek expert care, and how treatment plans are tailored to each patient's condition, symptoms and goals. To schedule a consultation with Drs. Duhon or Parker or another neurosurgeon at Boulder Neurological Spine & Associates of BCH, call 303-938-5700.
