Understand your Spine Surgery treatment options

Common questions patients ask before booking with Dr. Puneet Girdhar. If your situation is different, share the details in the form below and our advisors will tailor the next steps.

When should you see a specialist?

If you have persistent symptoms that affect your daily life, a recurring condition that doesn't improve with primary care, or a recent diagnosis that needs expert evaluation, it's time to see a specialist. Early consultation usually leads to less invasive treatment options and faster recovery.

What does a typical first consultation involve?

Your first consultation is a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history and existing reports. The doctor may order targeted scans or labs to confirm the diagnosis, then walk you through both non-surgical and surgical options with realistic outcomes for each.

Are non-surgical treatments available?

In many cases, yes. Modern medicine offers a wide spectrum of conservative therapies - medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, image-guided injections and minimally invasive procedures - that can resolve or significantly improve a condition before surgery is considered.

What about minimally invasive surgery?

When surgery is the right call, minimally invasive techniques (keyhole, endoscopic, robotic-assisted) typically mean smaller incisions, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster return to normal activity than traditional open surgery - with comparable or better outcomes.
