Orthopedic Spine Surgery
Content medically reviewed by: Jason Kelly, MD
When you have back or spine issues, it impacts everything in your daily life. If you’re experiencing neck, low back, sacroiliac, or shooting arm/leg pain, our orthopedic spine surgery team in Fargo, North Dakota can help.
At Essentia, we explore non-surgical treatments options first. But if those treatments fail to control your symptoms or provide relief, it may be time to consider surgical options.

What's an Orthopedic Spine Surgeon?
