When Surgery Is Considered
Patients with confirmed structural instability, severe disc herniation causing nerve deficit or spinal stenosis not responding to conservative care are referred to specialist spine surgeons within Dr. Deokate’s network, with rehabilitation managed at Sunshine Hospital, Wakad.
Non-Surgical Management

- Facet joint injections for spondylosis-related back pain

Two-wheeler commuting from Wakad to Hinjewadi on uneven roads adds vibration-related spinal loading. Dr. Deokate assesses both postural and structural contributors at Sunshine Hospital, Wakad.
