Lumbar Nerve Root Compression Treatment In Bangalore

Ishaan Ortho & Spine, a leading orthopedic center in Bangalore, offers comprehensive treatment options for lumbar nerve root compression. Our team of experienced doctors, led by Dr. Subodh M Shetty, utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques and personalized treatment plans to alleviate pain and improve your quality of life.

Understanding Lumbar Nerve Root Compression:

The lumbar spine consists of five vertebrae, which house and protect the spinal cord. Branching off from the spinal cord are nerve roots that travel through openings between the vertebrae and extend down the legs. Lumbar nerve root compression occurs when pressure is applied to these nerve roots, causing pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling in the lower back and leg (sciatica).

Causes of Lumbar Nerve Root Compression:

Lumbar disc herniation: When the soft inner disc material bulges or ruptures, it can compress the nerve root.
Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal due to bone spurs, ligament thickening, or disc degeneration can compress the nerve roots.
Spondylolisthesis: A condition where one vertebra slips forward over another, putting pressure on the nerve roots.
Tumors or other growths: These can also compress the nerve roots in the lumbar spine.

Treatment Options at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to treating lumbar nerve root compression. Our treatment plans are tailored to the underlying cause and severity of your condition, and may include:

Non-Surgical Treatments:

Rest and activity modification: Reducing strenuous activities can help alleviate pain and inflammation.
Physical therapy: Specific exercises can improve flexibility, strengthen core muscles, and improve posture, reducing pressure on the nerve roots.
Medication: Anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, and pain relievers can help manage pain and inflammation.
Epidural steroid injections: Injections can be administered to reduce inflammation around the nerve root and alleviate pain.

Surgical Treatment:

If conservative treatment fails to provide relief, minimally invasive surgical procedures may be considered:

Microdiscectomy: This procedure removes the herniated disc fragment compressing the nerve root.
Laminectomy: This procedure involves removing a portion of the vertebral bone to create more space for the nerve root.
Foraminotomy: This procedure enlarges the opening between the vertebrae to create more space for the nerve root.

Hospitalization Care:

While most cases of nerve root compression can be managed on an outpatient basis, some situations might require hospitalization. This can include:

Severe pain that doesn’t respond to other treatments
Progressive weakness or numbness in the leg
Loss of bowel or bladder control

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, our hospital is equipped with advanced facilities to ensure your comfort and well-being during your stay. Our team of specialists will work closely with you to develop a personalized care plan and provide comprehensive support throughout your recovery.

  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.
