Most back and neck pain gets better without surgery — but some signs mean you need a specialist quickly. This guide explains spine problems, when surgery is needed, how to choose a spine surgeon in Patna, and orthopaedic care at Satyadev Hospital.

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.

Orthopaedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons treat spine problems; physiotherapists help recovery. At Satyadev Hospital, Dr. Salik Imam (DNB Orthopaedics) and neurologist Dr. Abhishek Kumar evaluate back and neck problems.
Usually not. Most slipped discs improve with medicines and physiotherapy within 6–12 weeks. Surgery is considered for weakness, bladder problems or pain that doesn't improve.
If there is loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the private parts, sudden leg weakness, or pain after a major fall or accident.
Not for most new back pain. MRI is advised for red-flag signs, nerve symptoms or pain lasting beyond 6 weeks.
Regular exercise, core strengthening, good posture, safe lifting and maintaining a healthy weight.
Many spine procedures are covered at empanelled hospitals for eligible patients.
