Not all slipped disc issues need surgery
Most people suffer from lower back pain at some time or the other. The reasons could be many. Back pain can affect people of any age, for different reasons.
Secunderabad: Most people suffer from lower back pain at some time or the other. The reasons could be many. Back pain can affect people of any age, for different reasons. Ageing, improper body mechanics, trauma and structural abnormalities can injure your spine, leading to back pain and other symptoms such as leg pain and/or numbness or even leg weakness.
- bout 80 percent of adults suffer from lower back pain from time to time
- 90% of back problems can be treated with non-surgical treatments such as medicines, physiotherapy, rest, and activity modifications
- Technology has advanced to the point where more spine conditions can be treated with key-hole techniques under microscope assistance
Dr Kiran K Reddy Badam, Consultant Orthopaedic and Spine Surgeon, Apollo Hospitals, Secunderabad, says, "90% of back problems can be treated with non-surgical treatments such as medicines, physiotherapy, rest, and activity modifications."
Spine surgery may be recommended if non-surgical treatment fails to relieve symptoms. Surgery is a better option if the nerves are affected and the patient is not able to walk properly, because of herniated disc, scoliosis, spondylolisthesis or spinal stenosis say doctors.
