Your Healing Journey Starts Here
Living with severe back or neck pain changes everything—from your ability to work to simply enjoying a walk. If you are searching for a highly equipped spine hospital in Vadodara, our specialized Spine Clinic at Ortho Care Hospital provides the advanced, comprehensive care you need under one roof.
Our “Conservative First” Promise: We understand that the thought of spine surgery is intimidating. Under the guidance of Dr. Sandeep Chauhan, our team exhausts every non-surgical option—including targeted physical therapy, medication management, and specialized rest protocols—before considering an operation. When surgery is absolutely necessary, we utilize advanced, secure techniques to ensure the safest possible outcome.
Spinal Conditions We Treat
We focus on identifying the exact root of your pain to create a personalized recovery plan.
Sciatica & Nerve Compression
If you are experiencing a sharp, shooting pain traveling from your lower back down through your leg, you may be suffering from sciatica. This is often caused by a pinched nerve in the lower spine. We focus on targeted nerve decompression techniques to relieve the pressure and eliminate the pain.
Slipped & Herniated Discs
The cushions between your spinal bones can sometimes bulge or rupture, pressing painfully against surrounding nerves. We provide comprehensive disc management, bridging the gap between non-surgical rehabilitation and advanced surgical disc repair.
Spinal Stenosis
Common in older adults, spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can cause severe aching, numbness, or heaviness in the legs while walking or standing. Our treatments focus on opening up these pathways to relieve nerve pressure so you can walk comfortably again.
Spinal Trauma & Fractures
In the event of an accident or severe injury, every second matters. As a fully equipped spine hospital, we provide 24/7 emergency trauma care to stabilize and treat complex spinal fractures safely.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spine Care
Does every back pain issue require surgery?
No. At Ortho Care Hospital, surgery is always the last resort. Approximately 90% of spinal conditions improve with conservative care, such as physiotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and targeted injections. We only recommend surgery when non-surgical methods fail to provide relief or if there is a risk of nerve damage.
What are the common signs that I might need to see a spine specialist?
You should consult Dr. Sandeep Chauhan if you experience persistent back or neck pain that radiates into your arms or legs (Sciatica), numbness, tingling, or weakness in your limbs. Urgent consultation is required if you experience a loss of bladder or bowel control, as this can indicate serious nerve compression.
What is the difference between a slipped disc and a herniated disc?
These terms are often used interchangeably. A “slipped” or herniated disc occurs when the soft inner core of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer. This can press on nearby nerves, causing the shooting pain known as Sciatica.
Is there a risk of paralysis during spine surgery?
This is a common fear, but the actual risk of permanent paralysis is extremely low (less than 0.5%). Modern techniques, specialized instrumentation, and the expertise of surgeons like Dr. Sandeep Chauhan have made spine surgery safer than ever before.
What is “Minimally Invasive” spine surgery?
Unlike traditional open surgery, minimally invasive techniques use smaller incisions and specialized tools to treat the spine with minimal muscle disruption. This results in less post-operative pain, a lower risk of infection, and a significantly faster return to your daily routine.
How long is the recovery period after spine surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure. For simple decompression or “keyhole” surgeries, patients can often return to light activity in 3 to 4 weeks. More complex procedures like spinal fusion may take 3 to 6 months for the bone to fully heal. We provide a detailed rehabilitation timeline for every patient.
When can I start walking after the operation?
“Motion is lotion.” We encourage most patients to stand and take short walks as early as the day after surgery. Early movement prevents stiffness and reduces the risk of blood clots. Our physiotherapy team will assist you in your first steps.
Will I need to wear a belt or brace after surgery?
In some cases, a back belt or brace is advised for a few weeks to provide support and limit “B.L.T.” (Bending, Lifting, Twisting) while the spine stabilizes. Your specific need for a brace will be discussed during your pre-operative consultation.
Can I drive after my spine surgery?
You can usually resume driving once you are no longer taking narcotic pain medications and have regained enough strength to perform an emergency brake. This typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of your surgery.
Will I have permanent restrictions on my lifestyle after spine surgery?
The ultimate goal of Dr. Sandeep Chauhan and the team at Ortho Care Hospital is to return you to your normal life, not to limit it. While you will have strict restrictions during the first 6–12 weeks (such as no heavy lifting, bending, or twisting), most patients eventually return to their favorite activities, including walking, swimming, and traveling.
For certain procedures like spinal fusion, we may advise against high-impact sports (like long-distance running or contact sports) to protect the levels of your spine above and below the surgery site. However, most patients find that the “restriction” of living without chronic pain is a far better lifestyle than the limitations they faced before surgery. At our Subhanpura clinic, we focus on Joint Preservation and core strengthening to ensure your results last for decades.
