What Is a Spine Specialist Consultation?

A spine specialist consultation is the first step in accurately diagnosing and managing back and neck conditions. At Gangnam Nanoori International SPINE & JOINT Center, consultations are led by board-certified neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine experts who use advanced imaging and clinical assessments to guide treatment planning. This service is ideal for patients experiencing chronic pain, nerve-related symptoms, or mobility issues.
