Surgery May Be Used To Treat Pain, Generally As A Last Resort

6/7

Surgery to treat pain is often only recommended after less invasive treatments have been exhausted. Examples might include hip or other joint replacement, or surgery to control back pain. Nerves (usually in the spinal cord) can also be cut to relieve pain.

Surgery can be very beneficial for some individuals. Others may experience a relief of pain, only to have it return some months or years later.

Major surgical treatments should always be given very careful consideration.
