If you have a problem in your cervical spine that’s unresponsive to conservative treatments, neck surgery may bring you much-needed relief. As a board-certified neurosurgeon, Dr. Mobin brings the latest techniques to bear to help his patients find long-lasting solutions to neck pain.

For removing and replacing a herniated disc, Dr. Mobin goes in through the front of your neck. If the goal is to remove bone spurs or address spinal arthritis in your cervical spine, he approaches the problem from the back of your neck.

Most procedures take one to two hours, during which time you’ll be under general anesthesia.
Depending upon the extent of your neck surgery, you may be free to return home on the same day as your procedure, or you may have to spend a night in the hospital for observation. In either case, Dr. Mobin sends you home with complete aftercare instructions in order to help you heal safely and swiftly.
Expect to limit your activities for a few weeks after your procedure, which may include not driving for a time, so you should plan ahead accordingly. Most patients return to their normal routines three or four weeks after surgery.
