FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my spine pain is serious?

You should seek medical attention if you have persistent back or neck pain lasting more than a few weeks, pain radiating to arms or legs, numbness, weakness, loss of balance, or difficulty controlling bladder/bowel function.

When is surgery needed for spine problems?

Surgery is considered when conservative treatments like physiotherapy, medication, or injections fail to provide relief, or if there is nerve/spinal cord compression causing progressive symptoms. Your surgeon will guide you based on MRI findings and clinical evaluation.

How are brain tumors diagnosed and treated?

Brain tumors are typically diagnosed through MRI scans. Treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these. Modern techniques help improve outcomes while preserving neurological function.

What is the recovery process after neurosurgery?

Recovery depends on the condition and type of surgery. Many patients begin rehabilitation early to regain strength and coordination. Follow-up imaging and regular neurological assessments are essential for monitoring progress.
