The spine has to do two jobs that do not naturally sit well together. It needs to be rigid enough to protect the spinal cord and support the weight of the entire body, while remaining flexible enough to allow bending, twisting, and movement in almost every direction. Most structures in the body are built for one job or the other. The spine is built for both simultaneously, which is precisely why it tends to go wrong so often, and why getting it right again requires a particular kind of specialist expertise.
The Spine programme at Yashoda Medicity is built around that dual demand, treating conditions ranging from disc problems and degenerative changes through to fractures and structural deformities, using both non-surgical and surgical approaches depending on what each patient's specific anatomy and condition actually requires.
The team of the Spine Surgery Hospital in Delhi manages a wide range of conditions affecting the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, from straightforward disc-related pain through to complex deformities and traumatic injuries.
We treat a wide range of conditions, including:
A degree of back pain is common enough that many people simply manage it indefinitely with rest and over-the-counter medication, without ever establishing what is actually causing it. This works for some conditions and does not genuinely work for others.
Book a consultation with the back pain specialist in Delhi if you are experiencing any of the following:
Loss of bladder or bowel control alongside back pain requires urgent assessment, as this can indicate significant pressure on the spinal cord or nerves that needs prompt attention rather than a routine appointment.
A significant proportion of spine conditions respond well to non-surgical treatment, including physiotherapy, structured exercise programmes, and spinal injections that target inflammation directly at the source of pain. For many patients, this is sufficient to manage symptoms effectively without surgery ever becoming necessary.
If the specialists at Yashoda Medicity recommend surgery, minimally invasive techniques are used wherever clinically appropriate. Here, the spine is accessed through smaller incisions than traditional open surgery. Therefore, disruption to surrounding muscle and tissue is comparatively reduced.
For conditions such as spinal stenosis or disc herniation that are compressing nerves, decompression surgery relieves that pressure directly, addressing the underlying mechanical cause of pain, numbness, or weakness rather than simply managing the resulting symptoms.
This is a treatment procedure that joins two or more vertebrae together to eliminate abnormal movement at that segment, particularly applied for conditions like instability, severe degenerative disease, or certain deformities. While this reduces flexibility at the fused level, it is often the most reliable way to resolve pain caused by genuine structural instability.
Scoliosis and kyphosis, whether present from adolescence or developing later due to degenerative change, are managed through a combination of monitoring, bracing, and surgical correction depending on severity and how the curve is likely to progress over time.
Spinal fractures, whether from significant trauma or weakened bone, require careful stabilisation to protect the spinal cord while allowing the fracture to heal correctly. The specific approach depends heavily on fracture location and whether there is any associated neurological involvement.
For patients whose previous spine surgery has not resolved their symptoms or has caused new problems, revision surgery by the best spine surgeon in Delhi presents additional anatomical complexity, since altered tissue and previous implants change what the surgical team is working with compared to a first-time procedure.

This system provides real-time two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging during spinal surgery, allowing the surgical team to visualise anatomy throughout the procedure itself rather than relying solely on pre-operative scans. It is particularly valuable for spinal instrumentation procedures, including pedicle screw placement, where precise positioning is essential.
The O-arm at the Spine Surgery Hospital in Delhi captures detailed anatomical information at the exact point it is needed, once the spine has already been opened and anatomy may have shifted subtly from what earlier scans showed. The high-resolution three-dimensional imaging is particularly valuable in anatomically dense regions of the spine, where nerve roots, the spinal cord, and major blood vessels sit close to where screws and implants need to be placed.
The O-arm integrates directly with surgical navigation platforms, allowing precise instrument tracking during the procedure and immediate verification of implant placement. Consequently, the risk of malpositioned screws or hardware, a complication that can otherwise require further surgery to correct, is reduced to a great extent.
This integration also changes how decisions are made mid-procedure, allowing the team at the spine surgery centre in Delhi to verify placement immediately while the patient is still on the table, rather than confirming accuracy only once surgery has finished. This first-time accuracy becomes particularly valuable in longer, more complex spinal procedures, where small errors across multiple levels of instrumentation can otherwise compound into a meaningfully different outcome than intended.
For scoliosis and kyphosis correction, real-time imaging supports the careful planning these procedures demand, where small adjustments in correction can meaningfully affect the final outcome.
The same imaging capability that supports planned deformity correction is equally valuable in spine trauma cases, where fracture stabilisation must be highly precise, and in revision surgeries, where previous implants or altered anatomy increase overall surgical complexity.
For patients managed through non-surgical treatment, image-guided spinal injections allow precise delivery of medication to the exact source of pain, improving both effectiveness and consistency compared to less targeted approaches.
The spine’s dual role, providing both stability and flexibility, is exactly why problems affecting it require such careful, specific treatment. A condition that looks similar to another on the surface can have an entirely different underlying cause and require a completely different approach.
The Spine Department at Yashoda Medicity, Delhi provides that level of precise care, from non-surgical management through to navigation-guided surgery for the most complex cases.

My mother, Veena Tandon, was admitted here with severe chest pain. Dr. Manish Aggarwal and his team handled the situation with great care and professionalism. From quick diagnosis with ECG, echo, and CT angiography to patiently explaining the treatment options, everything was managed very smoothly. The doctor’s expertise and compassionate approach gave us confidence during a stressful time. We are truly grateful for the timely care and support provided. Highly recommend Dr. Manish Aggarwal and the hospital for cardiac treatment.
