Our Services
Dr. Thaker is recognized as one of the pioneers of advanced Endoscopic Spine Surgery and anterior and lateral approach spine surgery in the Gujarat region, bringing international expertise and innovative surgical techniques to deliver the highest standard of patient care.
Endoscopic
& Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery
Advanced Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) techniques used to treat spinal conditions through small incisions with minimal muscle disruption. These procedures reduce pain, blood loss, and hospital stay while supporting faster recovery and early return to daily activities.
Advanced
OLIF & ALIF Spine Surgery
Specialized spine procedures using OLIF (Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion) and ALIF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) techniques for degenerative disc disease, spinal instability, and nerve compression. These approaches help restore spinal alignment and improve stability and nerve function.
Anterior & Lateral Approach Spine Surgery
Advanced spine surgeries performed through anterior and lateral approaches to treat complex spinal disorders with greater precision. These techniques help minimize damage to surrounding tissues while supporting safer surgery and faster patient recovery.
The FAQ
Frequently Asked
Questions
You should consult a spine specialist if you have persistent back or neck pain lasting more than a few weeks, pain radiating to the arms or legs (sciatica), numbness, weakness, difficulty walking, or symptoms that do not improve with basic treatment.
No. Most spine conditions are initially managed with non-surgical treatment such as medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle modification, or pain procedures. Surgery is considered only when conservative treatment fails or when there is significant nerve compression, deformity, instability, or neurological deficit.
Minimally invasive spine surgery involves performing spine procedures through smaller incisions using specialized instruments and imaging guidance. It is designed to reduce muscle damage, blood loss, and recovery time compared to traditional open surgery, when appropriate.
Endoscopic spine surgery uses a small camera (endoscope) inserted through a small incision to treat certain spine conditions such as disc prolapse or nerve compression. It is a specialized technique suitable for selected cases.
Common symptoms include back or neck pain with pain radiating to the arm or leg, tingling, numbness, or weakness. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through clinical examination and MRI imaging.
Yes. Treatment depends on severity and symptoms. Mild cases may require observation and exercises, while more severe or progressive deformities may require surgical correction.
Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s overall health. Some minimally invasive procedures allow early mobilization, while complex surgeries may require longer recovery and rehabilitation.
Yes. Spinal tuberculosis is treated with anti-tubercular medication, and in certain cases surgery may be required for instability, deformity, or neurological compression.
Please bring previous medical records, MRI/CT scans, X-rays, blood reports, and a list of current medications. This helps in accurate evaluation and treatment planning.
