Back and neck problems are among the most common reasons people seek medical help, but only a small fraction of patients actually need surgery. Spine surgery is recommended when a structural problem — a compressed nerve, an unstable spine, a tumour or an infection — has not responded to medicines and physiotherapy, or is causing progressive weakness.
Dr. Nilesh Jain offers the full range of modern spine surgery in Indore: microdiscectomy and endoscopic procedures for slip disc, decompression for spinal stenosis, instrumented fixation for fractures and instability, and microsurgery for spinal tumours. Surgery is advised only when genuinely needed, with conservative care exhausted first.
कमर या गर्दन की हर तकलीफ में ऑपरेशन जरूरी नहीं। दवा और exercise से आराम न मिले, या हाथ-पैर में कमजोरी बढ़े, तभी सर्जरी की सलाह दी जाती है। दूरबीन (endoscopic) विधि से छोटे चीरे में ऑपरेशन संभव है।
When to consult a spine surgeon
- Back or neck pain persisting beyond 6 weeks despite treatment
- Pain radiating down the arm or leg (sciatica / radiculopathy)
- Numbness, tingling or weakness in the limbs
- Difficulty walking, imbalance, or clumsiness of hands
- Loss of bladder or bowel control — a surgical emergency
- Back pain with fever, weight loss, or a history of cancer or TB
Our approach to spine care
Every patient begins with a precise diagnosis — clinical examination correlated with MRI and X-rays. Most patients improve with structured conservative care. When surgery is needed, the least invasive effective option is chosen: endoscopic or microscopic discectomy for disc prolapse, laminectomy for stenosis, and pedicle screw fixation where stability is required.
Minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques mean smaller incisions, less muscle damage, less post-operative pain and faster return to work for suitable patients.
