Certain articles carried in prominent newspapers are creating a false
impression that we surgeons are treating Spinal disorders by surgery
alone .Infact we surgeons very well know that and follow this in
practice that the surgery is to be used only as a last resort. If we
were to conduct a survey, we will find out of 100 patients detected with
Spinal problems hardly 3 are operated. Rest get well with exercise
programs ,chiropractic treatment, electrical stimulation, and
nutritional supplements itself. Surgery is used only when these measures
have failed. And there is nothing wrong with these as when medical
treatment is available, why should these people live life with pain.
