Spine disorders can often be effectively managed with medications and physiotherapy. However, when these treatments fail to reduce chronic back pain and severe mobility issues, spine surgery becomes the only solution for chronic back pain and other back-related problems. These surgeries are highly specialized, demanding both expert skill and advanced technology. The most modern operating theaters, advanced ICUs, and top-notch equipment such as neuro-monitoring systems, high-resolution intraoperative CT (C-Arm), and 3-Tesla MRI have significantly enhanced the safety, speed, and efficiency of these procedures.
At Sakra, we prioritize a conservative approach, utilizing pain management techniques and superior neuro-rehabilitation therapy whenever possible. When surgery is essential, we use minimally invasive techniques. This approach has led us to successfully treat thousands of spine disorders, establishing Sakra as one of the best spine surgery hospitals in India.
