Spine Conditions Treated
Slip disc
Herniated disc, lower back and neck
A slip disc (herniated disc) happens when the soft cushion between two vertebrae bulges or tears and presses on a nearby nerve. It causes back or neck pain, often with tingling, numbness or weakness in a leg or arm. Most cases improve with rest, medication and physiotherapy within weeks. Surgery is considered if nerve symptoms continue or weakness develops.
Spinal stenosis
Narrowing of the spinal canal
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the canal carrying the spinal nerves, most often from age-related wear. Typical symptoms are leg pain, heaviness or numbness while walking or standing, which eases on sitting or bending forward. Exercise, medication and injections help many people. Decompression surgery is offered when the walking distance keeps falling.
Scoliosis
Sideways curve of the spine
Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine. It is seen in growing children and in adults, where wear of the discs and joints can cause back pain and nerve symptoms. Small curves are monitored, and a brace may be used in children. Surgery is reserved for large or progressing curves, or when nerves are compressed.
Cervical spine problems
Neck disc, spondylosis, myelopathy
Problems in the cervical spine can cause neck pain, pain or numbness in the arm and hand, and headaches. When the spinal cord itself is squeezed, called myelopathy, people notice clumsy hands, difficulty with buttons or an unsteady walk. Mild cases are treated without surgery. Signs of cord compression need prompt specialist review.
Sciatica
Pain travelling down the leg
Sciatica is pain that runs from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg. It is usually caused by a slip disc or narrowed canal irritating a nerve root. Many cases settle within six to twelve weeks with non-surgical treatment. Pain that persists, or weakness of the foot, calls for an MRI and a specialist opinion.
Emergency Care
Go to the nearest emergency department immediately if you have sudden loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or inner thighs, rapidly worsening leg weakness, or severe pain and weakness after a fall or injury. Do not wait for an appointment. Learn more about back pain red flag symptoms.

Spine Surgery Options
Treatment moves in steps. Each step is tried only when the one before it is not enough, or when a scan or examination shows that waiting is unsafe. The choice is made from your symptoms, examination and MRI.
Treatment without surgery
Most back pain, neck pain and sciatica improve without an operation. Treatment includes medicines, physiotherapy, changes in posture and activity, weight management, bracing where needed, and image-guided injections around the affected nerve.
Surgery is discussed if pain stays severe after a fair trial of this treatment, usually several weeks to a few months, or earlier if weakness is progressing or a nerve or the spinal cord is under serious pressure.
Endoscopic spine surgery
The surgeon works through a tube about the width of a pencil, using a small camera to see the problem. The incision is roughly one centimetre. It is used for selected disc herniations and some types of stenosis, and many patients go home within a day. It is not suitable for every problem, and your MRI decides whether it is an option for you.
Minimally invasive spine surgery
Minimally invasive surgery uses small incisions, tubular retractors and a microscope to reach the spine by separating muscle rather than cutting it. Microdiscectomy, decompression of a narrowed canal and some fusions can be done this way. Compared with open surgery, it usually means less muscle damage, less blood loss and a shorter stay.
Spinal fusion surgery
Fusion joins two or more vertebrae permanently using screws, rods, cages and bone graft. It is used when the spine is unstable, when a vertebra has slipped forward (spondylolisthesis), in some deformities, or when removing the pressure alone would leave the spine unstable. It is a larger operation and is recommended only when a simpler option cannot solve the problem.
Recovery After Spine Surgery
Recovery depends on the operation, your age, your general health and the kind of work you do. This is the usual pattern. Dr. Sameer Nagpal will give you a plan that fits your case.
1
First 24 to 48 Hours
You are helped out of bed and start walking on the day of surgery or the next morning. Pain is controlled with medicines. After endoscopic surgery, many patients go home within a day.
2
First Two Weeks
Walk short distances several times a day and look after the wound. Avoid lifting, bending and twisting, and sit for short periods only. The wound is checked at about ten to fourteen days.
3
Weeks Two to Six
Gentle physiotherapy begins. After a discectomy, many people return to desk work in this period. Driving restarts when you can turn and brake without pain and are no longer taking sedating painkillers.
4
Weeks Six to Twelve
Back and core strengthening builds up. After fusion, this is when many people return to work, still with limits on lifting.
5
Three to Twelve Months
Sport and heavy work return gradually. A fusion takes several months to become solid, and follow-up X-rays show how it is healing.

Key Qualities of a Spine Surgeon
Questions to Ask Before You Decide
Instead of judging by claims, ask your surgeon these critical questions:
Do I really need surgery, or can I try non-surgical treatment first?
What does my MRI show, and how does it match my symptoms?
What are the alternatives, and what are the risks of each?
Which technique do you suggest for me, and why?
What is the expected recovery, and when can I return to work?

Frequently Asked Questions
Not always. Many slip disc cases improve with medicines, physiotherapy, rest and other non-surgical treatments. Surgery may be recommended when symptoms are severe, persistent, or when there is significant nerve compression or weakness.
Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive technique that uses a small incision and an endoscope to access and treat certain spinal conditions. Suitability depends on the specific condition, symptoms, imaging findings and overall health.
Hospital stay depends on the type of spine procedure, your overall health and your recovery. Some minimally invasive procedures may allow patients to go home the same day or within a short period, while other surgeries may require a longer stay.
The time required to return to work varies depending on the procedure, your recovery and the type of work you do. Patients with desk jobs may return earlier, while physically demanding work may require more recovery time.
Like any surgery, spine surgery can have risks such as infection, bleeding, nerve irritation or injury, blood clots and complications related to anaesthesia. The risks vary depending on the procedure and individual patient.
The cost of spine surgery in India varies depending on the type of surgery, hospital, surgeon, medical condition, diagnostic tests and length of hospital stay. A consultation and evaluation are required to determine the appropriate treatment and expected cost.
Bring your previous medical records, MRI or CT scans, X-rays, relevant test reports, current medication details and a list of your symptoms. This can help the doctor understand your condition more effectively.
Some spine conditions can recur after surgery, depending on the underlying condition and other factors. Following your doctor’s recovery instructions, maintaining healthy habits and attending recommended follow-up appointments can support long-term spine health.
