Dr. Mohit Shete, orthopaedic surgeon and spine specialist in Mumbai, assesses and treats back pain, neck pain, sciatica, slip disc, spinal fractures and age-related wear of the spine. Alongside his joint and sports work, he has performed numerous spine and trauma surgeries.
Most back and neck pain gets better without an operation. Treatment usually combines a short period of relative rest, pain relief, posture and core-strengthening physiotherapy and, in selected cases, injections. Surgery is considered when nerves are under pressure with weakness, when pain does not settle over several weeks, or after an unstable spinal fracture.
Pain shooting down the leg from a bulging disc pressing on a nerve.
Muscle strain, wear of the discs and joints, and posture-related pain.
Stiffness, cervical spondylosis and arm pain from nerve irritation.
Fractures after injury or from weak bones (osteoporosis).
Go to emergency immediately if back pain comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the private parts, or new weakness in the legs.
