The treatment of spinal disorders never ends with just a surgery. These patients need a proper physiotherapy and postoperative protocol for optimal results.
There is a dedicated physiotherapy unit for postoperative physiotherapy and rehabilitation of such patients.
Recent advances in spinal surgery is minimal invasive spinal surgery. Minimal invasive techniques utilize more modern technology, advanced imaging techniques and special medical equipment to reduce tissue trauma,
bleeding, radiation exposure, infection risk, and decreased hospital stays by minimizing the size of the incision. Minimal invasive surgery is very beneficial to patients in terms of less postoperative pain, early mobilization, smaller surgical incisions so smaller scars, reduced hospital stay, less morbidity.
