Does seeing a spine surgeon mean I need surgery?+
No. A consultation is an opportunity to understand your symptoms and discuss reasonable options. Many spine problems are initially managed without surgery. Your doctor can explain whether further assessment, non-surgical treatment or a surgical opinion is appropriate for your situation.
What should I bring to my first consultation?+
Bring your previous prescriptions, existing MRI, X-ray or CT reports and the images if available, along with a list of medicines and allergies. Write down when your symptoms started, what changes them and the activities you are struggling with. You do not need to arrange a new scan before the appointment unless the clinic has advised it.
How are minimally invasive and endoscopic procedures chosen?+
The choice depends on the diagnosis, the area involved, your health and the treatment you have already tried. A smaller incision does not make a procedure suitable for everyone. Ask about the expected benefit, risks, alternatives, limitations and follow-up before deciding.
How do I book an appointment in Jammu?+
Use the consultation link to call or send a WhatsApp request to the clinic. If you have a patient account, you can also use the patient portal to view available appointment times. A sent enquiry is not a confirmed appointment; wait for the clinic to confirm availability and timing before travelling.
Can I access prescriptions and follow-up information online?+
The patient portal is linked to this clinic. After signing in, you can view appointments and prescriptions shared with your patient account. If a record is missing, contact the clinic rather than creating a second account. The public website does not display private clinical records.
Are the exercise videos suitable for everyone?+
No. The video library is educational, and different conditions need different guidance. Use only exercises your treating clinician has recommended for you. Ask your care team if you are unsure whether a movement is appropriate or your symptoms change.
When should I seek urgent help rather than book online?+
New problems with bladder or bowel control, loss of sensation around the groin, or back pain with new symptoms in both legs can require emergency assessment. Serious injury also needs prompt medical attention. Do not wait for an online enquiry to be answered if you may need emergency care.
