Medical Treatments

Spine Surgery

Spine Surgery involves surgical procedures designed to treat spinal conditions that cause pain, deformity, or neurological problems. It aims to restore spinal stability, relieve nerve compression, and improve mobility and quality of life. Common spine surgeries include discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, and minimally invasive spine surgery. These procedures can effectively treat chronic back pain, slipped discs, scoliosis, and spinal injuries.
At VivaVel Health, we connect international patients with top spine surgeons in India, offering world-class facilities, modern technology, and comprehensive medical tourism support for a seamless treatment experience.

  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Detailed images of soft tissues, including discs and nerves, to check for herniation or compression.

  • CT scan (Computed Tomography): Detailed cross-sectional images of bones and tissues.

  • Electromyography (EMG): Measures electrical activity in muscles to assess nerve function.

  • Bone scan: Identifies areas of bone damage or infection
