If surgery is necessary I personally recommend Dr. Frank Bono- "Bio Spine" out of Tampa, he used to be inTV but he relocated his practice

There are other treatments and physical therapy exercises which you may want to try before resorting to surgery.

One of my early, and successful, spinal surgeries was performed by Dr. Bono's associate, Dr. James Ronzo. When I went to see him I was practically immobile, and had been confined to a recliner chair for months. He looked at an x-ray of my spine, the way I was sitting, and said, "We can get rid of that pain."
And, using "minimally invasive surgery" for a kyphoplasty procedure, he did remove most of the pain.
I had other spinal issues which my primary care physician felt should be handled by specialists at Shands Hospital, but I definitely obtained great relief from Dr. Ronzo for my crushed vertebra from a trip and fall injury.
