Most people think that spine surgery is very complicated and one will get bed ridden and one cannot get back to normal activities. This is a myth. Spine surgery is safe. Complications occur only in about 1 or 2% of patients. Many of the spinal surgeries can now be done through minimally invasive methods. A patient who has undergone a spine surgery gets back to normal life. Failure to get back to normal is extremely rare. Get help before the problem advances. Never keep spine surgery as a last resort.
Dr. G. Balamurali, Spine and Neuro Surgeon at Kauvery Hospital, talks about the myths of spinal surgery.
