Most of the Spinal Pain cases can be treated with conservative methods, thus avoiding surgery.

Our Treatment Philosophy For Neck And Back Pain

We try to treat spine problems in a conservative manner as far as possible.

Accurate Diagnosis

The cornerstone of treating neck and back pain is accurate diagnosis.

Since there are a large number of diseases, which can cause similar looking symptoms, it is essential to find the root cause.

It starts with a thorough clinical examination and may proceed to tests llike XRay, CT, MRI etc

Conservative Management

Conservative management is enough for majority of the patients.

It includes medications to support the spine while avoiding painkillers.

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

When all other methods fail,  or in case of emergency situations like fractures, Cauda Equina syndrome etc, surgery can be the only option. 

Spine surgery ranges from Microscopic Discectomy to Fracture Fixations, employing the latest equipment to minimize risk and accelerate recovery.
