Spine Care | Sunrise Hospital — 85%+ Recover Without Surgery, Micro-Discectomy When Needed

Service 09 · Orthopaedics & Joints

The spine's job is to be forgotten.

When it works, you never think about it — you sit, walk, sleep, lift. When it hurts, it rewrites all of it. And because the spine sits at the centre of everything, the loudest instinct is fear: is this the start of something surgical?

Almost always, no. Over 85% of slip discs recover without an operation; most back and neck pain yields to the unglamorous trio — movement, physiotherapy, posture. This clinic exists to prove that with your own scans and your own exam, and to reserve the operating theatre for the nerves that genuinely need it.

Where It Hurts

The spine's usual suspects

From the desk-bound neck to the sciatic leg — six complaints cover most of what walks through the door.

Lower back pain

The workhorse complaint — eight in ten adults meet it; most episodes settle with the right care, not bed rest.

Slip disc

The cushion between vertebrae bulging onto a nerve — the famous "pop"; over 85% recover without surgery.

Sciatica

Electric pain running down the leg from an irritated nerve — treated at the nerve, not just where it tingles.

Neck pain & cervical spondylosis

The tech-neck era's signature — screens, pillows and posture, treated with physio and workplace advice.

Spinal stenosis

The canal narrowing with age — walking that stops and starts; decompression only when it truly limits life.

The desk-worker's spine

Stiff by eleven, seizing by five — posture, chair and break habits, rebuilt with ergonomics that fit real offices.

Urgent Clinical Care

Neurological red flags requiring immediate evaluation

+91 77038 89477 Priority Clinical Triage

Loss of bladder or bowel control, or perineal (saddle) numbness — indicates severe nerve compression (Cauda Equina Syndrome) requiring emergency medical triage.

Progressive lower extremity weakness — such as foot drop or knee buckling; indicates an active neurological deficit needing immediate assessment.

Fever accompanied by acute, severe back pain — highly suggestive of a potential spinal infection; requires same-day clinical review and diagnostics.

Known osteoporosis combined with sudden, severe axial pain after minimal trauma — suspect a vertebral compression fracture requiring prompt imaging.

Spinal trauma resulting in severe pain, numbness, or tingling — necessitates immediate clinical evaluation to prevent further structural or nerve damage.

The Treatment Ladder

Every rung tried honestly before the next

No skipping to surgery — and no guilt-tripping you into "trying harder" either. Each step has a job and a time limit.

Keep moving

Bed rest is dead advice — the evidence says walk. Most acute episodes settle within weeks with guided activity.

Physio + posture

The core programme — strengthening, mobility and workplace advice, included in the plan and measured every session.

Injections when useful

Epidural and nerve-root blocks — precise, image-guided relief for the nerve that's complaining, when tablets and physio fall short.

Micro-surgery for the few

Micro-discectomy through the smallest window — reserved for the nerves that truly need it, and explained before anything is signed.

Same wk MRI coordination —
when it's indicated, never routine

The Honest Scan

MRIs tell the truth — carefully

Scans of painless spines show "wear" too — which is why we order MRI for the cases that need it, same week, and match every finding against the examination before it means anything.

Same-visit X-ray — imaging in the room with you, not a week away
MRI when indicated — coordinated the same week; not a routine souvenir
Findings matched to your exam — the scan must explain your pain, or it doesn't count
Shown on screen, explained in plain words — you see what we see, before any decision

Your Desk Is a Spine Device

Ergonomics for real offices

Posture and workplace advice is part of the treatment plan here — because most spines spend eight hours a day at a desk.

The chair

Feet flat, lumbar supported, hips level or higher than knees — the adjustments that matter, ranked by what actually helps.

The screen

Top of the monitor at eye level, phone raised not neck-bowed — the tech-neck fix that costs nothing but habit.

The break

Stand or walk every 45 minutes — the best posture is the next one. Your spine is built for variety, not endurance contests.

Common Questions

The back-pain five

The questions every spine patient asks — usually within the first two minutes.

All 27 FAQs

Not automatically. Most acute back pain is diagnosed by examination and settles without ever meeting a scanner. MRI enters when pain persists despite proper conservative care, or when the exam shows nerve involvement — and then we coordinate it the same week, and match every finding against your symptoms before it means anything.

No — that advice retired years ago. Prolonged rest weakens the very muscles that protect the spine and slows recovery. The modern prescription is relative rest for a day or two during the worst of it, then guided movement: walking, gentle mobility, physiotherapy progression. Hurt doesn't always equal harm, but immobility usually equals delay.

Yes — most do. The bulging part of the disc shrinks and settles over weeks to months, and the nerve irritation quiets down with it; over 85% of our slip-disc patients recover without an operation. Surgery earns its place for the stubborn few — progressive weakness, unrelenting pain despite honest conservative care, or the emergencies we list above.

That fear is far more common than the outcome. Paralysis from routine degenerative spine problems is rare, and the true emergencies — progressive weakness, bladder or bowel changes — announce themselves and are exactly what we teach you to watch for. Fear shouldn't drive a spine decision; symptoms and examination should.

Recurrence is possible — spine health is a habit, not a one-time cure. That's why the plan doesn't end at pain relief: the physiotherapy programme builds the strength and posture that lower recurrence, and the workplace advice removes the daily aggravators. You leave with a maintenance routine, not just a discharge slip.
