Spine pain rarely stays in one place. It travels, it disrupts sleep, and over time, it quietly takes away things you once did without a second thought, like bending to tie your shoes or sitting through a meal without shifting in discomfort. When that happens, it is worth speaking to someone who truly understands the spine.
At Aster AADHAR Hospital, Kolhapur, our spine surgery team works with patients at every stage, from a first consultation to post-surgical recovery, with one focus: getting you back to your life.

What Is Spine Surgery?
The spine is made up of 33 vertebrae, cushioning discs and a network of nerves that runs through all of it. When any part of this system is compromised, whether through injury, degeneration or a structural problem, the pain can be relentless. And, in some cases, it can be debilitating.
Spine surgery is performed to correct these structural problems when non-surgical options such as physiotherapy, pain management or injections have been tried and have not worked.
The procedures vary widely, from microdiscectomy for a slipped disc pressing on a nerve to spinal fusion for instability or deformity correction. The right procedure depends entirely on your diagnosis, your anatomy and how your symptoms are affecting your daily function.
Conditions We Treat
Spine problems present differently in different people. Some patients come in with years of chronic back pain. Others arrive after a sudden injury or a fall. Some are referred after a scan reveals something that explains symptoms they had been ignoring for too long.
At Aster AADHAR, we treat:
- Lumbar and cervical disc herniation
- Spinal canal stenosis
- Spondylolisthesis
- Degenerative disc disease
- Scoliosis and kyphosis
- Vertebral fractures, including osteoporotic fractures
- Spinal cord tumours and infections
If your back or neck pain is persistent, worsening or affecting your ability to walk, work or sleep, a spine specialist evaluation is the logical next step.
Symptoms That Should Not Wait
Some symptoms need prompt attention, not a wait-and-watch approach. These include:
- Back or neck pain that has not improved after six weeks of conservative treatment
- Pain that shoots into the leg or arm, often described as burning or electric
- Numbness or a pins-and-needles sensation in the hands, fingers, feet, or toes
- Weakness in the limbs, especially if it is progressive
- Sudden loss of bladder or bowel control, which is a spinal emergency
The last symptom, loss of bladder or bowel control, requires same-day emergency evaluation. Do not delay. Call Aster AADHAR Hospital immediately.
How We Diagnose Spine Conditions
Getting to the correct diagnosis takes more than one scan. Our spine team uses a combination of clinical examination and targeted investigations to build a complete picture before recommending any treatment.
This typically includes MRI, which remains the gold standard for evaluating disc disease and nerve compression, CT scans for detailed bony assessment, standing X-rays to evaluate spinal alignment under load, and nerve conduction studies where nerve damage needs to be measured. Pre-surgical workup covers anaesthesia fitness, blood tests, and cardiac evaluation so there are no surprises on the day of your procedure.
Why Patients Choose Aster AADHAR for Spine Surgery Treatment in Kolhapur
Our spine surgery hospital in Kolhapur uses minimally invasive spine surgery techniques wherever clinically appropriate. Compared to traditional open surgery, this approach involves smaller incisions, significantly less blood loss, lower infection rates and a noticeably shorter hospital stay.
Our spine unit works as a team. Surgeons, neurologists, anaesthesiologists and physiotherapists coordinate from diagnosis through recovery. Critical care support is available around the clock. And also, rehabilitation after surgery begins early, as it is as important how well you recover as the surgery itself
