Spine Surgery & Back Pain Management - Dr. Sanjiv Guardian Hospital

Overview

It is important to remember that not everyone experiencing backache requires spine surgery. In the vast majority of patients, spine surgery is rarely an initial treatment and is only considered after a comprehensive, prolonged course of conservative therapy. However, there are specific conditions and emergencies that may require surgical intervention.

When is Spine Surgery Recommended?

Surgery may be recommended for:

• Neurological Weakness: Patients who develop weakness in their hands or legs due to an underlying spinal problem.

• Severe Refractory Pain: Patients experiencing severe pain that is not relieved by painkillers and rest.

• Chronic Conditions: Individuals with persistent chronic problems that do not respond to rest or physiotherapy over an extended duration.

• Mobility-Limiting Obesity: Obese patients who are entirely unable to exercise due to a combination of severe obesity and spinal complications.

Advanced Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Historically, spinal procedures were considered extensive operations accompanied by huge scars, extended post-operative hospital stays, mandatory bed rest, significant post-operative pain, and occasional long-term disability.

Today, medical advancements have completely transformed how spine surgery is performed. At Dr. Sanjiv Guardian Hospital, we utilize state-of-the-art Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) techniques to treat underlying concerns with smaller incisions, significantly reduced recovery times, less post-operative discomfort, and minimal scarring.
