Quick Answer: Do You Need a Spine Surgeon?

Around 9 in 10 cases of back pain improve within weeks with medicines, physiotherapy and activity changes. You should see an orthopaedic or spine specialist if pain lasts over 6 weeks, spreads down the leg (sciatica), or comes with numbness or weakness; and go to emergency for loss of bladder or bowel control. Spine surgery is performed by orthopaedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons. In Patna, Satyadev Multi Super Speciality Hospital offers orthopaedic evaluation with Dr. Salik Imam (DNB Orthopaedics), neurology with Dr. Abhishek Kumar (DM), imaging and physiotherapy.
