A spine surgeon treats spinal disorders such as degenerative spine diseases, herniated discs, scoliosis, spinal trauma, tumours, chronic back and neck pain, and nerve compression (sciatica).
You should consult a spine surgeon if you have persistent back or neck pain, neurological symptoms like numbness or weakness, spinal deformities, or if non-surgical treatments haven’t helped.
Surgeries include discectomy, spinal fusion, laminectomy, vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty, scoliosis correction, tumour removal, and minimally invasive or robot-assisted procedures.
Minimally invasive techniques use smaller incisions, cause less tissue damage, reduce pain, and allow faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Recovery depends on the type of surgery, your overall health, and adherence to rehabilitation. Minimally invasive procedures usually have shorter recovery times.
