Wrong impression about surgeons using only surgery for Spinal problems needs to be countered

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.
