I’ve Got Your Back
The Truth About Spine Surgery, Straight from a Surgeon
Smithtown, NY – To read I’ve
Got Your Back by St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center’s
staff physician Dr. Nathaniel Tindel with Tamar Haspel is
the equivalent of having a three hour consultation with one
of the nation’s leading surgeons, right here in Smithtown.
Dr. Tindel is a Board Certified Orthopeadic Surgeon who offers
unique and highly qualified insight into the world of back
pain and surgery.
In his book, Dr. Tindel, discusses why back pain and sciatica
are so misunderstood, why surgery doesn’t always work,
the truth about disc replacement, alternatives to surgery
and the key to successful pain management.
“Back pain is a complex problem with an equally complex
set of treatment options. There are conditions for which surgery
is not only appropriate but necessary; but there are also
conditions that don’t respond as well to surgery, and
telling the difference between the two is what I’ve
Got Your Back is all about,” said Dr. Tindel.
He is an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at The
Albert Einstein College of Medicine, the Director of New York
Center for Spine Disorders and has appeared on NBC-TV’s
“Nightline” news and NY-1. I’ve Got Your
Back is published by Penguin Books and The New American Library,
2007.
