In order to maintain our standards of excellence, the SOS Spine Team believes that providing excellence in care begins with patient education. That's why here at SOSspine.com, the Team encourages you to consider all your spine care treatment options, surgical and non-surgical. To help you do that, we have done our best to give you a website that takes you through a logical progression - from diagnosis and treatment options to the most important questions to ask your doctor before choosing your care provider.

At Syracuse Orthopedic Specialists, only 17% of all our spine patients over the last two years actually ended up having surgery, so chances are that seeing an SOS Spine Care surgeon does NOT mean you are headed for the operating room.
