Dr. Archit Goyal -

An Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the spine, including the bones, joints, muscles, and nerves. They manage both non-surgical and surgical treatments for conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and spinal fractures.

They treat a wide variety of spinal conditions, including:

• Degenerative disc disease
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Scoliosis and other deformities
• Spinal fractures
• Spinal infections or tumors
• Sciatica and other nerve-related conditions

You should see an Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon if you have chronic back or neck pain, nerve-related symptoms (like numbness, tingling, or weakness), difficulty with movement, or if conservative treatments (like physical therapy or medication) haven’t provided relief.

Non-surgical treatments include:

• Physical therapy
• Pain management (such as injections or medications)
• Lifestyle changes, including exercise and weight management
• Bracing or support devices
• Posture and ergonomic advice

Spine surgery can range from minimally invasive procedures (like microdiscectomy or spinal fusion) to more complex surgeries (such as corrective surgery for scoliosis). The goal of surgery is to alleviate pain, improve function, and address underlying structural problems.
