Consult Our Back Surgeons in Phoenix
Back pain can often be a result of an accident, injury, or congenital conditions such as scoliosis. Certain forms of back pain can be a result of the natural aging process, including conditions such as disc protrusion and spinal stenosis.
Today, advancements in imaging, and non surgical techniques have led to more treatment options than ever before, allowing us to return our patients the life they once knew…usually without the need for invasive spine surgery.
Typically, back surgeons in Phoenix offer one type of help, even though there are many others available. When you work with Dr. Baig at the Desert Spine and Scoliosis Center, you can rest assured that everything is on the table when it comes to potential treatments that are accepted by the medical world. As a top-rated spine specialist, Dr. Baig understands that this complicated part of the body can lead to many different problems, and each possibility will be considered before deciding on a treatment protocol.

Craig’s Story of Overcoming Back and Leg Pain
WE DIAGNOSE THE ROOT
Chronic back pain can be debilitating and leave you feeling hopeless. When Craig wasn’t getting the care he felt he deserved, he reached out to Dr. Baig to get the help he needed.
Unfortunately, this is a common problem: People suffering from back pain see a doctor, get diagnosed with some type of “chronic” condition, obtain a prescription and perhaps go to a few physical therapy appointments. They feel a bit better for a time, but the root of the problem is never diagnosed or properly treated. This is how back pain can become chronic, and this is why people ultimately seek the help of Desert Spine and Scoliosis center, expert back surgeons in Phoenix.
Dr. Baig, one of the most respected back surgeons in Phoenix, helped Craig identify his problem by relying on his years of expertise as a spine specialist in Phoenix. With the proper treatment, Craig’s condition improved and he was able to get back into life without the terrible pain that had dragged him down for so long. This is what patients should reasonably expect from our team of Phoenix spine surgeons.

Let Our Spine Specialists Help You Decide the Right Treatment Option for You.
There’s no single cause of back pain. That’s why, at Desert Spine and Scoliosis Center, there’s no such thing as a ‘one-size-fits-most’ approach to diagnosing and managing back pain. Our back surgeons and spine specialists treat patients as individuals, and we will explore all options rather than simply recommending spinal surgery as a first-line treatment.
Our patients vary widely––from athletes with acute injuries to older patients with chronic pain––and they come from across North America for an effective diagnosis of their back, neck, and neuropathic pain.
Although our spine specialists are highly trained and experienced surgeons, we know that invasive surgery is usually not indicated for most back pain patients. Acclaimed surgeon Dr. Baig and our specialists are only interested in the result, and if that result can be achieved without surgery, then that’s almost always the preferable course of treatment.
sOLUTIONS FOR YOUR
INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
If you have been told you need spine surgery, you owe it to yourself and your family to contact us for a second or even third opinion. What you learn from our providers might just change your outlook on life— and help you make the healthcare decisions that are best for your individual needs.
Neck and back pain are tricky things, and they can be difficult to accurately diagnose if you don’t approach each patient with a completely open mind as it relates to what could be the root cause of the problem.

T.M. ~ Actual Patient
"Dr Baig and his team are phenomenal. I had a compressed nerve due to a bulging disc and was able to be seen relatively quickly. Surgery was quick and flawless and I have no complaints at all. I truly appreciated how fast they worked to get me seen and out of all the pain I was in! Highly recommend them."
A.H. ~ Actual Patient
"Dr Baig literally changed my life for the better. I had a severely pinched nerve in my neck and needed to get surgery. Immediately at my first consult I felt comfortable and in good hands. I even walked away with a smile on my face during that scary time.
Surgery day couldn’t have gone better. The team he had also had a great bedside manner and helped keep me calm.
After the surgery and in the recovery room, he came in and checked on me and made sure I was all good before releasing me."
S.D. ~ Actual Patient
"Dr Baig was going to be my second opinion for an upcoming scheduled spinal surgery. After my appointment, he will be my surgeon. He gave me a lot of information that was lacking from my other doctors. I felt very comfortable with Dr Baig and his entire office staff. Looking forward to living pain free after we strengthen my bones. It’s going to be a permanent fix and not a bandaid."
