Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs
Consult a spine specialist if you have:

  • Back or neck pain lasting more than two weeks
  • Pain that radiates into the arms or legs
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the limbs
  • Difficulty walking, balancing, or sleeping due to pain
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control (seek urgent care)

Early diagnosis can prevent complications and allow for more treatment options.

Not always. Many conditions can be treated non-surgically with physiotherapy, medications, or injections. Surgery is considered when conservative options have failed or if there are signs of nerve compression.
MISS uses smaller incisions and specialised tools to treat spine conditions with less muscle disruption. This typically results in faster recovery and less post-operative pain.
Recovery depends on the procedure, but most patients can expect:

  • Same-day discharge or short hospital stay
  • Early walking and mobility
  • Gradual return to normal activities
  • A personalised rehabilitation plan

If you already have an MRI or X-ray, bring them along. If not, Dr Mark Tan BH will assess your condition and may refer you for imaging if needed.
Yes, various insurance plans are accepted. Contact us with your insurance details and we will help verify your coverage.
