SLIPPED DISC AND SCIATICA

Most lumbar disc herniations can be treated without surgery. At Dr Sinha's spine clinic , we use all modalities of conservative management before advising surgery to our patients. Most patients get better with medicines and rest. If that fails , we offer selective nerve root block under flouroscopic guidance to relieve the radicular pain.

This procedure which requires technical expertise and flouroscopic guidance , is very effective is relieving radicular pain associated with disc herniations. Most patients report instant relief of pain after the injection and are able to walk immediately after the procedure.

At If the pain is not relieved even after trying comprehensive 6 weeks of conservative management, we offer the least invasive surgical technique of disc removal, the Unilateral Biportal endoscopy technique (UBE). This procedure is performed via a 1cm incision and recovery is rapid
