From herniated discs to spinal stenosis, Health1's spine program combines orthopaedic and neurosurgical expertise to find the actual cause of chronic back and neck pain — and treat it with the least invasive option that genuinely works.
Book a Consultation Common QuestionsMost chronic back pain does not require open spine surgery. Health1's approach starts with accurate diagnosis — imaging and clinical assessment to pinpoint exactly which disc, joint, or nerve is generating the pain — followed by the least invasive treatment that addresses it, with endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques used wherever appropriate. Open surgery remains the right answer for some structural problems, and our team makes that call based on your specific case, not a default protocol.
The large majority of spine patients improve with physiotherapy, targeted injections, and activity modification — surgery is considered when these haven't provided relief after a genuine trial (typically 6-12 weeks, sooner if red-flag symptoms are present), or when imaging confirms a structural problem that conservative care won't fix.
Most herniated discs improve with conservative treatment (physiotherapy, medication, injections) within weeks. Surgery is considered when pain persists despite conservative care, or when there are signs of nerve damage like progressive weakness.
Minimally invasive techniques use smaller incisions and specialized instruments, typically meaning less muscle damage, less blood loss, and faster recovery. Not every condition is suitable for a minimally invasive approach — your surgeon will advise based on your specific diagnosis.
Spine surgery recovery varies significantly by procedure — from a few days for a minimally invasive discectomy to several weeks for more complex reconstructive surgery. Your surgeon will give you a specific timeline based on your procedure.
