Spine conditions we treat
- PIVD (Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc) — disc slip causing back pain with leg pain (sciatica) or arm pain
- Lumbar disc herniation — lower back disc pressing on the nerve; L4-L5 and L5-S1 most common
- Cervical disc herniation — neck disc pressing on the nerve; arm pain, numbness, weakness
- Spinal instability and spondylolisthesis — one vertebra slipping over another; causes chronic back pain and leg symptoms
- Lumbar canal stenosis — narrowing of the spinal canal causing back and leg pain with walking
- Thoracic spine conditions — mid-back fractures, disc problems, deformity
- Spinal fractures — vertebral compression fractures from osteoporosis or trauma; burst fractures from accidents
- Chronic back pain (kamar dard / कंबरदुखी) — comprehensive assessment and treatment programme
Surgical procedures performed
- Microdiscectomy — minimally invasive removal of the disc fragment pressing on the nerve; most patients go home within 24–48 hours
- Lumbar spinal fusion (TLIF/PLIF) — joining two vertebrae to correct instability or spondylolisthesis
- Cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) — disc removed from the front of the neck, vertebrae fused; highly effective for cervical PIVD
- Laminectomy and decompression — removing bone and soft tissue to enlarge the spinal canal in stenosis
- Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty — cement injection for painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures; pain relief within 24–48 hours
- Thoracic spine surgery — fracture fixation and decompression for thoracic conditions
When is spine surgery actually needed?
The majority of back and neck pain gets better with physiotherapy, posture correction, appropriate pain management and time — without surgery. Surgery is recommended when:
- Nerve compression is causing progressive weakness (foot drop, hand weakness)
- Bladder or bowel control is affected — this is a surgical emergency
- Severe radiculopathy (shooting pain down the arm or leg) has not responded to 6–12 weeks of conservative treatment
- Spinal instability causing mechanical pain that limits daily function
- Imaging confirms a structural problem that matches the symptoms precisely
