Lordosis Treatment in India
About Lordosis
Key Highlights
-
Corrects abnormal spinal curvature to improve posture and alignment.Alleviates chronic back or neck pain and associated nerve symptoms (radiculopathy).Prevents further progression of the spinal deformity and potential complications.Can significantly enhance mobility, flexibility, and overall quality of life.Utilizes advanced surgical techniques and instrumentation for precise correction and stability.
Who is this surgery for?
- Severe, progressive hyperlordosis causing chronic pain unresponsive to conservative management (physical therapy, medications).
- Neurological deficits such as leg weakness, numbness, or bowel/bladder dysfunction due to nerve compression.
- Significant postural imbalance or deformity impacting daily activities and respiratory function.
- Underlying conditions like spondylolisthesis, disc degeneration, or congenital spinal abnormalities contributing to the lordosis.
- Persistent pain that severely limits work, sleep, and quality of life.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including spine imaging (X-rays, MRI, CT scan) and cardiac/pulmonary tests.
- Discuss all current medications with the surgeon; may need to stop blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) days before surgery.
- Maintain a healthy diet and refrain from smoking to optimize healing.
- Arrange for post-operative support at home for assistance during recovery.
- Follow pre-operative fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight before surgery).
Risks & possible complications
- General surgical risks: Infection, bleeding, blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
- Nerve injury potentially leading to weakness, numbness, or paralysis.
- Failure of bone fusion (pseudarthrosis), requiring additional surgery.
- Hardware complications like implant loosening, breakage, or discomfort.
- Adjacent segment disease, where spinal levels above or below the fusion degenerate faster.
- Persistent pain or incomplete correction of the deformity.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Hospital stay typically involves pain management, monitoring, and initial physical therapy to begin walking.
- Wearing a back brace for several weeks to months to support the spine as it heals.
- Gradual return to activities; avoid heavy lifting, twisting, and bending for the first 3-6 months.
- Attend all follow-up appointments for imaging to check fusion progress.
- Commit to a prescribed physical therapy program to strengthen core muscles and improve flexibility.
- Full recovery and bone fusion can take 6 months to a year or more.
-
Typical hospital stay:
4-7 days
-
Expected recovery time:
3-6 months for initial recovery; 6-12 months for full fusion and activity resumption

Patient Name: Rohan Kumar. Age: 28...
Patient Name: Rohan Kumar. Age: 28. Background: A software engineer from Bangalore, passionate about cricket and hiking. History: For two years, Rohan experienced persistent, dull lower back pain that worsened after long hours at his desk. He noticed his posture was changing, with his lower back curving inward more prominently, and he began to feel self-conscious about his 'swayback' appearance. Simple activities like standing to cook or walking his dog became exhausting due to muscle fatigue. Symptoms: Chronic lower back pain, exaggerated inward curve of the lumbar spine, muscle stiffness, and fatigue. Doctor Recommendation: After physical therapy and core strengthening failed to correct the postural imbalance, his spine surgeon diagnosed a structural lumbar lordosis. The doctor recommended a spinal osteotomy, a procedure to carefully remove a wedge of bone from the vertebrae to reduce the excessive curve. Treatment Experience: Rohan underwent a posterior lumbar osteotomy with spinal fusion. The surgery was complex but precise, lasting several hours. He woke up sore but with immediate relief from the muscular tension in his back. Post-Procedure Recovery: He spent 4 days in the hospital, slowly learning to move with a back brace. After three months of strict bracing and gradual physical therapy, he regained strength. At six months, he could walk for an hour without pain. Emotional Journey: Before surgery, Rohan felt frustrated and aged beyond his years, his active lifestyle slipping away. He was anxious about the surgery's risks. After recovery, he felt a profound sense of reclaiming his body. While he may never play competitive cricket again, he can hike and live without constant pain, restoring his confidence and joy in movement.
