When non-surgical treatments no longer provide adequate relief or when a condition requires surgical correction, Dr. Pranav Shah offers advanced orthopaedic and spine surgical care tailored to each patient's individual needs. Every surgical plan is based on a detailed evaluation, ensuring that surgery is recommended only when it offers the best opportunity for pain relief, improved mobility, and long-term recovery.
Dr. Shah specializes in the surgical management of a wide range of spinal disorders, including slipped discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, spinal deformities, fractures, infections, tumours, and degenerative spine conditions. Whenever appropriate, minimally invasive techniques are preferred to reduce tissue damage, minimize blood loss, decrease post-operative pain, and promote faster recovery.
From pre-operative counselling to rehabilitation and follow-up care, patients receive comprehensive guidance throughout their treatment journey. The primary goal is to restore spinal stability, relieve nerve compression, improve function, and help patients safely return to their normal daily activities.
Surgical treatment may be recommended for patients with the following conditions when conservative treatment does not provide sufficient relief:
Spine surgery is usually considered when severe pain, nerve compression, weakness, spinal instability, or deformity persists despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. Surgery may also be necessary in emergency situations such as progressive neurological weakness or certain spinal fractures and infections.
No. Most patients improve with medications, physiotherapy, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is advised only when it is medically indicated and expected to provide significant improvement in pain, function, and quality of life.
Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient's overall health. Many patients begin walking within a short period after surgery, while complete recovery may take several weeks to a few months. A structured rehabilitation program helps ensure a safe and successful recovery.
