When you have extremity symptoms, we almost always suggest they first get an evaluation with us. If a person is experiencing low back pain or neck pain, we will usually watch them over time and boost them to maintain good, stable physical activity to see if the issue resolves. If the issue is not solved with physical activity, over-the-counter treatments, or pain management and anti-inflammatory medication, the following step would be to do an evaluation.

Many patients with spine problems can be cured non-surgically. Physical therapy, home exercises, medication and regular spinal injections are suggested prior to considering surgery. If the problem still persists then surgery becomes the only option.

For example, if a patient has major neurogenic pain that is abnormal and non-surgical management has not provided release, surgical intervention is the best decision. For those with symptoms related to the spinal cord or nerve root compressions, such as major weakness in an arm or leg or limb, we may endorse surgical intervention if non-surgical management was ineffective.

Mostly open spine surgery comprises the complete exposure of the anatomy. In minimally invasive spine surgery we surgically uncover less of the anatomy which means, in many cases, an earlier recovery in the first few weeks after surgery. In minimally invasive spine surgery, we regularly use additional surgical aids, such as intraoperative spinal navigation. This provides us greater visibility into surgical areas with limited exposure.

Whether minimally invasive or traditional, the objectives are the same for the long term; At Rathimed, being one of the Spine Surgery hospitals in Chennai we want to achieve overall progress in symptoms or a stop in degeneration. Finally, we want our procedures to result in less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, lower infection rates and faster recovery in the weeks following surgery. Minimally invasive surgery naturally results in an easier retrieval process for patients, though, not every patient or surgical condition is suitable for minimally invasive surgery.
