Spine Conditions

Spine conditions are among the most common reasons working-age adults seek specialist care. They range from acutely painful episodes that resolve with structured treatment, to chronic degenerative changes that require careful, long-term management. Some cause localised back or neck pain. Others produce symptoms in the arms or legs that may initially seem unrelated to the spine. This section covers the spine conditions evaluated and treated at this practice. Each page is written to help you understand what a condition is, why it occurs, how it is diagnosed, and what the treatment options are — from physiotherapy and pain management through to surgical intervention where it is clinically indicated. Dr. Shrinath Viswanath is an orthopedic spine surgeon based in Pune, with a clinical focus on spinal deformity correction, minimally invasive spine surgery, and navigation-assisted surgical technique. His approach begins with a thorough evaluation of your condition and a conservative management plan where appropriate. Surgery is discussed only when non-surgical care has been genuinely exhausted, or when there is a neurological risk that makes waiting unsafe. Select your condition below to read a full clinical overview, understand your symptoms, and learn what treatment at this practice involves.
