Sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or severe symptoms following an injury require urgent medical attention. Patients experiencing these symptoms should not wait for the scheduled Wednesday OPD.
How Spine Treatment Is Planned
Treatment is recommended after a specialist spine assessment that considers the symptoms, clinical examination, scan findings and response to previous care.
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include:
- Medication
- Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
- Spinal injections
- Clinical monitoring
- Surgical treatment when clinically indicated
Not every spinal condition requires surgery.
When an operation is being considered, the relevant options may include minimally invasive spine surgery, endoscopic microdiscectomy, artificial disc replacement, spinal deformity correction or revision spine surgery.

FAQs
How should I compare options when searching for the best spine doctor in Mahim or the best spine surgeon in Mahim?
When comparing a spine specialist in Mahim, consider the doctor’s spine-specific qualifications, experience with your diagnosed condition, hospital affiliation and approach to non-surgical treatment. The doctor should also explain the diagnosis, alternatives, potential risks and expected recovery clearly. Advertisements and star ratings should not be the only factors considered.
When do persistent back or neck symptoms require specialist evaluation?
A Mahim spine consultation may be appropriate when pain persists despite initial treatment, repeatedly returns, travels into an arm or leg, or begins affecting movement, strength or everyday activities. Sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or severe symptoms following an injury require urgent medical attention rather than waiting for an OPD appointment.
Can MRI, CT or X-ray scans from another hospital be reviewed during the Mahim appointment?
Yes. A Mahim spine assessment can include a review of scans performed at another hospital or diagnostic centre. Bring the original scan images and written reports so they can be considered alongside your symptoms and clinical examination. The need for any additional imaging can be discussed after the evaluation.
What should I verify when searching for the best spine clinic in Mahim?
Confirm the consulting doctor’s spine-specific qualifications, current consultation schedule and exact hospital location. Also check whether the listing represents a standalone clinic or a hospital-based spine consultation. A credible listing should clearly identify the doctor, consultation location, appointment number and availability without relying only on promotional claims or ratings.
If surgery is recommended after the consultation, will it take place at S.L. Raheja Hospital?
Not automatically. The location of the spine consultation in Mahim and the hospital selected for a procedure are separate decisions. If surgery is clinically indicated, Dr Mehendiratta will discuss the appropriate procedure and hospital arrangements based on the diagnosis and clinical requirements.
What should I know when travelling to the Mahim OPD from nearby areas?
The Mahim spine OPD is conducted at S.L. Raheja Hospital on Raheja Rugnalaya Marg in Mahim West. Patients travelling from Mahim Railway Station, Matunga Road, Dadar, Shivaji Park, Dharavi, Bandra West or nearby areas should check live directions and allow additional time during busy traffic periods.
