An important aspect is Physiotherapy and exercise regimen to strengthen the core muscles.
Regenerative Approach
State of the art newer techniques and Orthobiologics may help in repair of the damaged tissues.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
When conservative methods fail, minimally invasive image guided techniques offer quick relief and recovery while avoiding complications.
In fractures, specially in the elderly, procedures such as Vertebroplasty help immensely in recovery and early return to function.
Surgery
