Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Jeffrey Larson

Sourced directly from Dr. Jeffrey Larson's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Larson's approach to diagnosis in spine surgery?
Dr. Larson emphasizes that an MRI alone does not constitute a diagnosis. A diagnosis is formed by correlating a patient’s symptoms, physical examination, imaging findings, and, if necessary, functional confirmation. He will not perform surgery unless there is a strong correlation between all diagnostic factors, as operating on an image rather than the actual source of pain can lead to addressing the incorrect problem.

What is the risk of an incorrect diagnosis in surgery?
Dr. Larson states that the complication rate for an incorrect diagnosis is 100%. He believes the right diagnosis comes before the right operation, and if diagnostic factors do not align, surgery can solve the wrong problem.
Source →
Does an abnormal MRI always mean surgery is needed?
No, an MRI can look dramatic but doesn’t necessarily mean the patient needs surgery. The objective of treatment is not to address every abnormal finding on an MRI, but to treat the specific spinal level responsible for the patient's symptoms.
Source →
What are Dr. Larson's views on spinal fusion vs. motion preservation?
For active people with leg pain, weakness, or numbness from a compressed nerve, spinal fusion is not automatically the correct answer. Dr. Larson prioritizes motion preservation whenever surgically possible. He notes that unnecessarily fusing a spinal level eliminates the future option of preserving motion at that level, whereas an artificial disc replacement (ADR) can preserve motion if a level becomes symptomatic later.
Source →
Can hip pain originate from the spine?
Yes, symptoms such as groin pain, thigh pain, and pain with standing or walking can originate from either the hip or the spine. Dr. Larson has observed patients who underwent hip replacement but still experienced the same pain, which was sometimes referred pain from the lumbar spine.
Source →
How does Dr. Larson help with insurance approvals?
Dr. Larson's practice regularly assists patients with navigating insurance denials, prior authorizations, peer-to-peer reviews, and appeals. He emphasizes that getting surgery approved is about proving the right diagnosis, not just finding the right MRI, and requires a clear story with correlating symptoms, physical exam findings, imaging, appropriate conservative treatment, and documentation of medical necessity. An insurance denial is not always the final answer, and he advocates for patients when barriers to care exist.
Source →
Should I get a second opinion if my treatment is denied?
If you’ve been told 'no' regarding treatment or an insurance denial, Dr. Larson recommends seeking a second opinion, as it may be beneficial.
Source →
Is it necessary to travel abroad for artificial disc surgery?
Dr. Larson states there is no need to travel to Germany for artificial disc surgery, as expert motion-preserving spine care is available locally in Coeur d’Alene.
