NON SURGICAL TREATMENT

Spinal problems are increasing day by day due to the overall life styles and habits, i.e., long working hours, prolonged work with computers (IT professionals), improper posture, accidents. Despite the older belief and the fears, most of the spinal problems are curable. Few corrective measures in our life style can make our spine last longer.

Non surgical care is the cornerstone of treatment in degenerative conditions of the spine. We first advice non-surgical treatment for most degenerative spine disorders.Only if patients are not satisfied with the results, do we offer surgical treatment.
