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 micro discectomy, artificial disc replacement, spinal deformity correction or revision spine surgery.

FAQs
How should I compare options when searching for the best spine doctor in Bandra or the best spine surgeon in Bandra?
When comparing an orthopaedic spine surgeon, 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 should I consult a spine doctor in Bandra, and when is urgent medical care required?
A consultation with a spine specialist in Bandra may be appropriate when symptoms persist despite initial treatment, repeatedly return or begin 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 a scheduled OPD appointment.
Can MRI, CT or X-ray scans from another hospital be reviewed during the Bandra appointment?
Yes. A Bandra spine assessment can include a review of scans performed at another hospital or diagnostic centre. Bring the original scan images together with the 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.
If a procedure is recommended after the Bandra spine consultation, will it take place at Guru Nanak Hospital?
Not automatically. A hospital-based spine consultation in Bandra determines where the clinical evaluation takes place, but it does not automatically determine the hospital for surgery. If a procedure is clinically indicated, Dr Mehendiratta will discuss the appropriate procedure and hospital arrangements based on the diagnosis and clinical requirements.
Do I need to book before visiting the Bandra spine OPD?
Prior booking is recommended because spine consultations in Bandra are conducted on scheduled days and timings may change. Call the appointment number to confirm availability and reporting time before travelling.
What should I know when travelling to the Bandra spine OPD from Bandra West, BKC or nearby areas?
The Bandra spine OPD is conducted at Guru Nanak Hospital in Bandra East, near Collector Office. Patients travelling from Bandra West, BKC, Bandra Railway Station or Bandra Terminus should check live directions and allow additional time during peak traffic hours.
