Neurosurgeons are one type of back pain doctor, although the scope of the profession extends to all aspects of the human nervous system. For example, a neurosurgeon may specialize their practice on brain tumors, epilepsy, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, or, of course, back or neck problems. According to the AANS, neurosurgeons spend about half of their time helping patients with spine problems.
Typically, you would see a neurosurgeon for your back or neck after all conservative options were tried.
