Displaced Bone in Spine Treatment in India

Rohan Garcia, a 42-year-old construction foreman and father of three, had always been the strong, active backbone of his family. His life changed six months ago when a heavy beam slipped and struck his lower back. Initially dismissed as a bad bruise, the deep, unrelenting pain never subsided. It radiated down his left leg, causing numbness and a disturbing foot drop that made him stumble. Simple joys like playing soccer with his kids or working in his yard became impossible. An MRI revealed a displaced fracture of his L4 vertebra, compressing a nerve root. His spine surgeon, Dr. Evans, explained that conservative treatments had failed and a minimally invasive spinal fusion (TLIF) was necessary to stabilize the bone and relieve the nerve pressure. Terrified of surgery but more afraid of a future in a wheelchair, Rohan agreed. The procedure went smoothly. The first weeks of recovery were challenging, with strict movement restrictions and reliance on his wife, but the sciatic pain was gone. After three months of dedicated physical therapy, he regained strength and stability. While he can't return to heavy lifting, he's back to coaching his son's team and walking pain-free. Emotionally, he journeyed from feeling like a burden and fearing he'd lost his identity as a provider, to immense gratitude and a redefined sense of strength focused on being present for his family.
