Non-operative Treatments

Heal Your Spine Without Surgery

Not every spine problem needs surgery. In fact, most back and neck issues can be treated effectively through non-operative (conservative) treatments. These methods focus on relieving pain, improving mobility, and restoring function—without the risks or recovery time of surgery.

At our spine care center, we believe in “Surgery as the Last Option.” Our goal is to help you heal using the least invasive, most effective treatments available.


🧠 What Are Non-Operative Treatments?

Non-operative spine care includes a range of treatments that do not involve surgical intervention. These may include:

  • Medication – To reduce inflammation, muscle spasms, and nerve pain.

  • Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation – Customized exercises and manual therapy to restore strength and mobility.

  • Epidural Steroid Injections – Targeted pain relief for disc herniation or nerve compression.

  • Nerve Root Blocks / Facet Injections – Used for diagnostic clarity and focused treatment.

  • Lifestyle Modifications – Postural training, weight loss advice, and ergonomic education.

  • Bracing – Supports the spine during healing for certain conditions like fractures or scoliosis.

These options are often combined into a personalized care plan depending on the severity of your condition.


Who Benefits from Non-Surgical Treatment?

Non-operative management is highly effective for:

  • Slipped disc / Herniated disc

  • Sciatica and leg pain

  • Neck pain or stiffness

  • Back strain or muscle spasms

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Spinal stenosis (mild to moderate)

  • Postural problems and scoliosis

Patients with early-stage spine conditions or those who wish to avoid surgery can often get long-term relief through conservative therapy.

  • No surgical risks or anesthesia

  • Faster recovery and return to daily activities

  • Cost-effective and outpatient-based
