- Radiofrequency denervation for chronic facet pain (where indicated)
Surgical care (when indicated)

- Laminectomy / decompression surgery — for spinal stenosis.
- Spinal fusion & instrumentation — stabilization for instability, spondylolisthesis, or deformity.
- Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) — smaller incisions, less blood loss, faster recovery.
- Revision spine surgery — complex care for prior failed procedures.
- Deformity correction — scoliosis and kyphosis management using modern techniques.
- Multidisciplinary tumor & infection management in coordination with medical teams.
Diagnostic pathway — how we evaluate your spine problem
- Comprehensive clinical assessment — focused history, neurological exam, functional assessment.
- Targeted imaging — X-ray for alignment, MRI for soft tissue and nerve assessment, ultrasound when relevant.
- Electrodiagnostic testing (EMG/NCS) if nerve disorders are suspected (arranged as needed).
- Shared decision making — treatment options, risks, benefits, and expected recovery explained in plain language.
The patient journey — what to expect
- First visit: focused consultation, baseline assessment, and initial plan.
- Conservative phase: supervised physiotherapy, activity modification, and pain management (most patients improve without surgery).
- Interventional options: used when conservative care is insufficient or when diagnostic blocks guide treatment.
- Surgical pathway: pre-op optimization, clear informed consent, skilled intra-operative care, and structured post-op rehabilitation.
- Follow-up & prevention: return-to-activity planning, home exercise programs, and workplace advice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Most patients improve with conservative care (physiotherapy, posture correction, injections when needed). Surgery is reserved for those with clear structural problems causing persistent pain, neurological deficit, or instability.
Smaller incisions, less tissue damage, reduced blood loss, less post-op pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster return to daily activities — when suitable for the condition.
Recovery varies with procedure type. Microdiscectomy patients may return to light activities in a few weeks; fusion procedures require longer (several months) and a structured rehab program. Your surgeon will give a personalized timeline.
Yes. We manage pediatric scoliosis, congenital deformities, and growth-related spine issues in collaboration with pediatric specialists.
