About Back Pain

Back pain treatment by an orthopedic specialist involves a comprehensive approach to diagnose and manage spinal discomfort, ranging from non-surgical interventions to advanced surgical procedures. Orthopedists begin with a thorough evaluation, including physical exams and imaging like X-rays or MRIs, to identify the root cause, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative conditions. Treatment plans are personalized, often starting with conservative methods like physical therapy, medications, and injections. When necessary, surgical options such as discectomy, laminectomy, or spinal fusion are performed to relieve pressure on nerves or stabilize the spine. The goal is to restore function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life through evidence-based, patient-centered care tailored to individual needs and activity levels.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
