Well, a back surgeon can be a Neurosurgeon OR an orthopedic surgeon. I call my neurosurgeon a back surgeon, so it all depends on what your doctor's specialty is. Do you have any idea??? A "back doctor" is NOT a specialty. There's no such thing as a "back doctor." He's either a Neurosurgeon or an Orthopedic Surgeon.
Just as long as he's good, I guess it doesn't make any difference. I prefer neurosurgeons just cause they've been trained more in the central nervous system. An orthopedic surgeon has been trained more in the bones. It's your choice. Best of luck. Hugs, Lee
