Get Answers to Common Questions About Spine Care
Minimally invasive spine surgery uses advanced techniques and specialized tools to perform spine procedures through smaller incisions. This approach typically results in less muscle damage, reduced blood loss, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments (physical therapy, medications, injections) haven't provided relief, or when there's significant nerve compression causing severe pain or neurological symptoms. Dr. Bhandarkar will thoroughly evaluate your condition and discuss all treatment options with you.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure. Minimally invasive procedures typically allow patients to return to normal activities within 2-6 weeks, while more complex surgeries may require 3-6 months. Dr. Bhandarkar will provide a personalized recovery plan based on your specific procedure and condition.
