Spine Treatment / Surgery

Spine treatment focuses on the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the spinal column, including the vertebrae, discs, nerves, and surrounding structures. While many spinal problems can be managed with medications, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes, surgery may be recommended when conservative treatments fail to provide relief or when the condition is severe.

Spine surgery aims to relieve pain, correct deformities, stabilize the spine, and improve overall function so patients can return to their daily activities with improved mobility and comfort.

Conditions Requiring Spine Treatment / Surgery

• Herniated or slipped discs causing nerve compression.
• Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal).
• Scoliosis or spinal deformities.
• Fractures of the spine due to trauma.
• Degenerative disc disease or chronic back pain.

Advantages of Spine Surgery

• Relief from chronic back and neck pain.
• Improved mobility and quality of life.
• Correction of spinal deformities.
• Reduced risk of nerve damage or paralysis.
• Long-term stability of the spine.

Risk Factors

• Infection at the surgical site.
• Nerve injury or spinal cord damage (rare).
• Blood clots or excessive bleeding.
• Implant failure or loosening in fusion surgeries.
• Persistent pain in some cases.

Recovery

Recovery after spine surgery depends on the type of procedure performed and the patient’s overall health. Minimally invasive techniques usually offer faster recovery, while complex surgeries may require longer rehabilitation.

• Hospital stay may range from 2–7 days.
• Walking usually begins within a few days after surgery.
• Physiotherapy is crucial for regaining strength and flexibility.
• Full recovery may take 6 weeks to 6 months depending on the surgery.
