Our spine surgery centre in KD Hospital aims to provide “Complete care from neck to back.” We treat all ailments related to the spine here. The KD Hospital spine surgery centre provides advanced care for neck, back, and spine conditions. We know that diagnosing and coordinating care for spine conditions can be challenging for patients and their primary care providers.
At our spine surgery centre, we streamline this process with an experienced multidisciplinary team diagnosing spine disorders and developing individual treatment plans. The concerted expertise of our spine surgery and pain management specialists, combined with physical and occupational therapy and a nurse navigator, is available to patients at the Spine Surgery Centre in KD Hospital.
We aim to ensure that the patient is provided care by the most appropriate specialist right from the start. We collaborate with each patient from the first visit to decide on the best treatment option, which is often not surgery.
About 80% of people will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain is the leading cause of job or lifestyle-related disabilities. Many people, however, may believe they only have two options: surgery or simply living with the pain. However, this is not true in most cases.
About 90% of patients treated at the spine surgery centre of KD Hospital become pain-free and functional without surgery. Non-surgical treatments typically involve several therapies over six weeks to six months.
All patients have customized physical therapy programs designed to meet their precise needs. Physical therapy treatments reduce pain and swelling while strengthening and stabilizing the back.

Rehabilitation goes beyond physical therapy to restore athletic performance through a more extensive conditioning and education program.
Corticosteroid, a powerful anti-inflammatory drug, is injected directly into the area where pain is present. The medication can provide temporary or long-term relief from pain by reducing swelling and eliminating friction among nerves, muscles, and other tissues.
Spinal nerve blocks treat chronic back or neck pain caused by a pinched or damaged nerve. Nerve blocks numb the nerve using an anaesthetic to provide relief from pain.
If surgical treatment is necessary, KD Hospital’s spine surgeons are specially trained in spine procedures. The surgeon may offer both traditional open surgery and minimally invasive spine surgery.
This technique, performed through just a few small incisions, often results in less pain and faster recovery for patients.
Some of the conditions that can be treated using minimally invasive surgery:

As mentioned, our expert team provides the latest non-surgical interventions and surgery, including minimally invasive spine surgery. A coordinator works with providers and patients to coordinate treatment from referral through recovery.
