Frequently Asked Questions

What causes persistent lower back pain and sciatica?

Persistent lower back pain is frequently caused by herniated or bulging lumbar discs, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), facet joint arthritis, or spondylolisthesis. Sciatica occurs when the nerve roots exiting the lower spine become compressed or inflamed, radiating pain down the leg.

Can back pain be treated without open spine surgery at Valli Hospital?

Yes. Over 85% of back pain patients recover successfully without open surgery. Our tiered approach includes targeted physiotherapy, core stabilization, and advanced ultrasound-guided epidural nerve blocks that eliminate pain signals at the exact root.

When is spine surgery necessary for disc herniation?

Surgery is indicated when conservative therapies do not relieve progressive neurological deficits such as leg numbness, severe weakness (foot drop), intractable sciatica pain, or loss of bowel/bladder control. We utilize micro-endoscopic minimally invasive techniques with tiny incisions and fast recovery.

Who are the spine specialists at Valli Hospital Salem?

Our spine division is led by Dr. T. Natanasabapathy (Chief Orthopedic Surgeon) and Dr. K. N. Jotheesvar (Fellowship in Spine Surgery & Joint Replacement), offering cutting-edge surgical and non-surgical spinal interventions.

How soon can I return to normal daily activities after spine treatment?

Patients undergoing non-surgical interventional nerve blocks experience relief within 24 to 48 hours. Patients undergoing minimally invasive micro-endoscopic spine surgery are typically mobilized within 24 hours and resume light routine work in 2 to 4 weeks.
