Spine & Scoliosis Surgery at Iswarya Hospital
Iswarya Hospital's Spine & Scoliosis Surgery department on OMR, Chennai is led by a fellowship-trained spine surgeon and treats the full range of back, neck and spinal disorders: slip disc and disc bulge, sciatica, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spine fractures, spinal infections and tumours, and scoliosis and kyphosis in children and adults. Patients come to us as a back pain specialist first; surgery is advised only when it is genuinely needed.
Most back pain and disc bulge is treated without surgery. Our back pain doctors combine a precise diagnosis on MRI with medication, targeted physiotherapy and spine injections such as epidural steroid injections, nerve root blocks, facet joint injections and radiofrequency ablation, which relieve pain and let the disc settle. Around eight in ten patients with a disc bulge recover with this approach alone.
When surgery is required we use keyhole techniques wherever possible. Endoscopic spine surgery removes a prolapsed disc through an incision under 1 cm with a camera, often as a day-care procedure. Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), microdiscectomy, decompression, spinal fusion and artificial disc replacement are performed with a microscope, intraoperative neuromonitoring and navigation, giving smaller incisions, less blood loss and a faster return to work than open surgery.
Complex deformity is a special interest of the department: scoliosis and kyphosis correction in adolescents and adults, spine fracture fixation, kyphoplasty for osteoporotic fractures, and surgery for spinal tumours and infections, all backed by a dedicated spine physiotherapy team. Cashless treatment is available under Ayushman Bharat, CGHS, ECHS and most private insurers. Call 044 2025 2025 to consult a spine surgeon.

Frequently Asked Questions – Spine & Scoliosis Surgery
Iswarya Hospital's Spine & Scoliosis Surgery department on OMR is led by a fellowship-trained spine surgeon who treats back pain, slip disc, spinal stenosis and scoliosis. The first consultation is with a back pain specialist who decides whether you need physiotherapy, injections or surgery.
Yes. Around eight in ten disc bulges settle without surgery. Treatment combines medication, targeted physiotherapy and, where pain is severe, spine injections such as an epidural steroid injection or nerve root block. Surgery is considered only if pain persists after 6 to 12 weeks or there is weakness or numbness.
Spine injections deliver anti-inflammatory medicine or a nerve block directly to the painful disc, nerve root or facet joint under X-ray guidance. They take about 15 minutes, are done as day care with local anaesthesia, and most patients feel only pressure. Relief can last weeks to months and allows physiotherapy to work.
Endoscopic spine surgery removes a slipped disc through an incision under 1 cm using a camera and fine instruments, often under local or spinal anaesthesia as a day-care procedure. Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) uses small tubes and a microscope for decompression and fusion. Both mean less pain, minimal blood loss and a much faster return to work than open surgery.
For back pain that has lasted more than two weeks, radiates to the leg, or comes with numbness or weakness, see a spine specialist. Our spine surgeon is an orthopaedic surgeon with fellowship training in spine surgery, so you get both the general orthopaedic assessment and specialist spine care in one visit.
Yes. Adolescent and adult scoliosis and kyphosis correction is a special interest of the department, performed with intraoperative neuromonitoring and navigation. Milder curves in growing children are managed with bracing and monitoring.
