Our Services

Lumbar Canal Stenosis Treatment and Hospital Care at Ishaan Ortho & Spine, Bangalore

Understanding Lumbar Canal Stenosis:

Lumbar canal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This can cause pain, numbness, weakness, and difficulty walking.

Ishaan Ortho & Spine’s Treatment Approach:

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, Bangalore, we offer a comprehensive approach to treating lumbar canal stenosis, aiming to:

  • Reduce pain and improve mobility.
  • Preserve spinal function.
  • Minimize the need for surgery whenever possible.

Treatment Options:

  • Non-surgical Management:

    • Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs, pain relievers, and muscle relaxants can help manage pain and inflammation.
    • Physical therapy: Exercises strengthen core muscles, improve flexibility, and promote better posture.
    • Epidural steroid injections: Corticosteroids injected near the affected nerves can provide temporary pain relief.
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures:

    • Facet joint injections: Steroid injections targeting specific facet joints can alleviate pain arising from these joints.
    • Lumbar selective nerve root blocks: Injections deliver medication directly to the affected nerve, offering targeted pain relief.
  • Surgical Intervention:

    • Lumbar decompression surgery: This procedure aims to create more space in the spinal canal by removing bone spurs or ligaments compressing the nerves.
    • Minimally invasive microdiscectomy: In some cases, a small portion of herniated disc material pressing on the nerves might be removed through a minimally invasive approach.

Hospitalization Care at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

  • Pre-operative assessment: A thorough evaluation involving medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests like X-rays and MRIs is done.
  • Anesthesia consultation: Discusses options and potential risks associated with anesthesia.
  • Surgical procedure: The chosen surgical intervention is performed by experienced spine surgeons at Ishaan Ortho & Spine.
  • Post-surgical care:
    • Pain management through medication and techniques like nerve blocks.
    • Physical therapy to regain strength, flexibility, and improve mobility.
    • Patient education on managing the condition and preventing future complications.

Benefits of Choosing Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

  • Experienced and qualified spine surgeons: Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality, personalized care for patients with lumbar canal stenosis.
  • Advanced technology: We utilize modern surgical techniques and equipment to ensure minimally invasive procedures and faster recovery times.

Words can hardly convey the incredible transformation that has occurred in our lives, all thanks to the extraordinary Dr. Subodh M. Shetty. He is more than just a doctor; he is our savior, and his impact on our family is immeasurable. My father's struggle with ankylosing spondylitis was nothing short of a nightmare. The mere act of bending was accompanied by a horrifying symphony of joint movement, a sound that served as a constant reminder of the pain he endured every day. His condition left him unable to enjoy the simplest of pleasures, and it weighed heavily on all of us. When we first met Dr. Shetty, my father's situation was further complicated by a dangerously low hemoglobin level. Many doctors might have hesitated, but not Dr. Shetty. He calibrates his approach with a precision that can only be described as miraculous. His unwavering confidence in the face of adversity gave us the strength to proceed with the surgery, despite the odds. During the surgery, Dr. Shetty's skill and expertise shone brightly. He guided my father through the intricate procedure with a steady hand, leaving us with no doubt that we had made the right choice. But Dr. Shetty's care did not stop at the operating room; he provided us with a professional physiotherapist who played a crucial role in managing my father's pain and facilitating his recovery. What truly sets Dr. Shetty apart is his unwavering dedication. He was with us every step of the way, from the initial consultation to my father's complete recovery. His presence was a source of comfort and reassurance, a guiding light in our darkest hours. Our journey with Dr. Shetty began with a simple Google search, "Best Orthopedic Doctor Near Me," and little did we know that this search would change the course of our lives. Dr. Subodh M. Shetty is not just a doctor; he is a miracle worker, a compassionate healer, and a guiding force that has brought light and hope back into our family. To Dr. Shetty, you are not only a gifted surgeon but a true guardian angel. Your skill, dedication, and unwavering support have given my father a new lease on life, and for that, we are forever grateful. You have touched our hearts in ways words can't capture, and we consider ourselves blessed to have found you.
