Referal Algorithm
I am always happy to discuss and provide opinions on all spinal conditions and welcome calls or emails.
I hope the following assists in developing a referral algorithm.
Early referrals
- Cevical myelopathy/myeloradiculopathy
- Neurogenic claudication secondary spinal stenosis
- Disc herniations associated with neurological deficit
- Any condition with a precipitous decline in neurological function
- Conditions with intractable extremity pain ( i.e. sciatica or cervical radiculopathy)
Elective referrals
- Axial lower back pain
- Axial neck pain
- Vertebral compression fractures
- Second opinions
