So my 72 year old mother fractured her back a couple of years ago. She is having chronic back and nerve pain. She is highly averse to taking a bunch of medicine or going to a 'pill pusher'. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a back specialist in the area who accepts Medicare and will try to resolve her issue and not just try to give her pain meds? Thanks! 

Methodist Neurological Center downtown. Dr. Blacklock or any of the wonderful surgeons
