Dr. Mahesh is a specialist in lumbar disc prolapse, offering both conservative and surgical treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. His goal is to relieve symptoms and restore spinal health through personalized care plans.
🧘 Physical Therapy & Exercise: Targeted programs to strengthen core muscles, improve flexibility, and correct posture—essential for stabilizing the spine .
💊 Medication & Injections: NSAIDs, short-term muscle relaxants, and epidural steroid injections help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain .
✨ Complementary Therapies: Supportive options such as chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, massage, TENS, lumbar support bracing, and lifestyle ergonomics .
Microdiscectomy:
Minimally invasive removal of herniated disc material through a small incision (~1–1.5″), delivering faster relief and quicker recovery—most patients return to daily life within weeks .
Microlumbar Discectomy:
A refined surgical technique via a curved incision, with patients typically discharged in ~32 hours and resuming work around 18 days post-op. Long-term improvements in pain and disability scores are significant .
Endoscopic Techniques (e.g., TESSYS):
Transforaminal, local-anesthesia procedures using tiny access tubes and cameras, reducing tissue trauma, bleeding, and hospital stay. Over 90% of patients experience immediate pain relief .
Personalized, Patient-Centered Care: Recognizes that no two cases are alike—comprehensive evaluation ensures the right intervention at the right time.
Balanced Approach: Conservative treatments are prioritized. Surgery is an option only after careful assessment, or when needed—for example, in cases with severe pain, neurological deficits, or lack of improvement after ~6 weeks .
Restoring Quality of Life: Studies show early surgical intervention often leads to faster symptom relief—but long-term outcomes are similar between surgical and non-surgical routes .
Conservative vs. Surgical Treatment: Meta-analyses consistently show surgery provides quicker pain relief, though long-term benefits even out .
Minimally Invasive Success Rates: Techniques like microdiscectomy and TESSYS have high success rates—over 90% for immediate pain relief, with less post-operative complications, shorter hospitalization, and faster return to activity .
