Understand your Orthopedics treatment options
Common questions patients ask before booking with Prof. Dr. S. Sundar. 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 spine surgeon?
Persistent back pain that lasts longer than 6 weeks, radiating leg pain, numbness, weakness, loss of bladder/bowel control, or pain that worsens at night warrants a specialist's opinion. Early evaluation prevents nerve damage and broadens your non-surgical options.
Non-surgical vs surgical spine treatment — which is right for me?
Most spine conditions respond to a 6–12 week trial of physical therapy, medications and targeted injections. Surgery is reserved for cases where conservative therapy fails, the diagnosis is structural (severe disc herniation, instability, stenosis with neuro deficit), or symptoms are rapidly progressing.
What is minimally invasive spine surgery?
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses a small (1–2 cm) incision, tubular retractors and intraoperative imaging to access the spine without disrupting surrounding muscle. Patients typically walk the same day, leave the hospital within 24–48 hours and return to desk work in 1–2 weeks.
How long does recovery from joint replacement take?
Knee and hip replacements typically require 6 weeks of structured rehabilitation before you walk unaided, and 3–6 months for full sports-level recovery. Robotic-assisted procedures and enhanced recovery protocols are shortening these timelines steadily.
