The Back Pain Myth: Why Most Patients Never Need Surgery! π°π©Ί
Did you know that less than 5% of patients with back pain actually require surgical treatment?
As featured in the Times of India, Dr. V Selvin Prabhakar breaks down the common misconceptions around spine health and highlights why non-surgical care should always be the first line of defence.
Key Takeaways for Spine Health:
π©Ή 90% of Back Pain resolves through non-surgical care (medication, targeted physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes).
β οΈ Don't Panic Over MRI Results: Age-related spine changes are normal and often don't cause pain. Always consult a specialist first.
π Simple Prevention: Stand up and move for two minutes every half hour to break up prolonged sitting.
π¬ When Surgery is Needed: Modern endoscopic procedures use tiny incisions for rapid recovery, allowing patients to walk the same day!
Take care of your spine before mild discomfort turns into chronic pain.
