Need Help for Spinal Surgery : How Can HexaHealth Assist?

Hello,

We are sorry to hear about your mother's condition.

If your mother has been advised to undergo spinal surgery, the first step is to have her evaluated by an experienced spine surgeon or neurosurgeon. The doctor will review her symptoms, medical history, and reports such as MRI or CT scan to determine the most appropriate treatment. Depending on the diagnosis, surgery may be recommended for conditions such as a slipped disc, spinal stenosis, spinal fracture, spinal deformity, or nerve compression.

Please do not delay the surgery if  has advised it, especially if your mother has :

• Severe or worsening back pain

• Weakness or numbness in the legs

• Difficulty walking or maintaining balance

• Loss of bladder or bowel control

• Progressive nerve-related symptoms

Kindly share the following details

• Your city and state

• Your mother's age

• What is the exact spinal problem? (Slipped disc, spinal stenosis, fracture, etc.)

• Does your mother have Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) or any health insurance?

Based on this information, we will help you connect with the most suitable partner hospital and an experienced spine specialist for the best possible care.

Common Reasons for Spinal Surgery

• Persistent Pain : Severe and long-lasting back or neck pain that has not responded to other treatments.
  
  
• Nerve Compression : Symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or shooting pain in the arms or legs, indicating nerves are being pinched.
  
  
• Spinal Instability : Conditions where the spine is unstable, potentially leading to further nerve damage.
  
  
• Specific Diagnoses : Such as a herniated disc, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), spinal fractures, or spinal deformities like scoliosis.

Understanding Spinal Surgery Options

• The primary goals of spinal surgery are to relieve pressure on nerves, stabilize the spine, or correct deformities.
  
  
• Procedures can range from minimally invasive techniques to more complex open surgeries, depending on the specific condition and severity.
  
  
• Many modern spinal surgeries utilize advanced technology, which can lead to smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker recovery times.
