Considering alternatives to spine surgery is a wise approach because surgery might not always be the best solution to treat or correct the cause of your back or neck pain. Here are some alternatives to spine surgery:

• Acupuncture: Acupuncture involves the insertion of needles into different areas of the body to help relieve pain. It can be very helpful for those with back pain. 
• Yoga and Pilates: Yoga and Pilates focus on strengthening core muscles, improving flexibility, and promoting relaxation. Yoga and Pilates help to relieve stress which allows your muscles to relax and not tense up and cause pain. 
• Physical Therapy: Physical therapy can help to strengthen the muscles that support your spine, improve flexibility, and alleviate pain.
