But if your back and neck pain begins to radiate to other parts of the body, Morris Hospital's Orthopedic Spine Surgeon Dr. Mir Ali says it's time for you to see a doctor. If you suffer from back or neck pain, please take a moment to listen to Dr. Ali's advice about when you should seek help for neck and back pain and how non-surgical and surgical treatment options have advanced to the benefit of patients.
