Carolinas Center for Surgery

Your spine is at the center of a delicately balanced system that controls all of your body’s movements. Bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves all work together to balance the weight of your body. Even minor damage to one component of your back’s structure can upset this fragile balance and make movement painful-necessitating treatment that may include spine surgery.

At the Carolinas Center for Spine Surgery, our board certified, fellowship trained surgeon, Dr. Ashraf Guirgues and his team is dedicated to providing quality care for a wide range of conditions involving the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. We have subspecialty training and expertise in spinal surgery and spine care. Our focus means you get the best spine care available from a team that understands your needs.

When should you consult a Spine Surgeon?

• Are bladder and bowel problems present?
• Is your back pain accompanied by a fever or does it worsen at night?
• Did the back pain begin after a fall or accident?
• Do you experience numbness or weakness in your legs?
• Is your back pain radiating down your leg?
• Has the pain lasted more than three weeks?

We offer the highest standard of care in eastern North Carolina and evaluate each patient conservatively, only suggesting more aggressive and invasive spine surgery options once all other approaches have been exhausted.
