About Mangadevi's Treatment and Recovery

Mangadevi had been suffering from severe back pain near her spine for nearly three months. The constant pain made it difficult for her to stand, move freely, or manage routine daily activities. Despite consulting multiple doctors, her symptoms did not improve, and her mobility continued to decline.

She was eventually referred to Medicover Hospitals, Kakinada, where she consulted Dr Chandu Lingolu, Consultant Neurosurgeon. After a detailed clinical assessment, the doctor identified the underlying spinal issue and recommended endoscopic spinal surgery as the most suitable treatment option. This decision brought renewed hope and marked the beginning of Mangadevi's recovery journey toward pain relief and independence.

Patient Words

"My mother had been suffering from severe back pain near her spine for three months. Even after consulting many doctors, she did not get relief. A doctor then suggested Medicover Hospitals, Kakinada, where we met Dr Chandu Lingolu.

He performed endoscopic spinal surgery, which turned out to be painless and very effective. The care provided after surgery was excellent. The nursing staff took great care of her even when I was not around. Earlier, she was unable to stand on her own, but after the surgery, she could manage her daily tasks independently. We are extremely thankful to Dr Chandu Lingolu and the Medicover Hospitals team for their support and care."

What is Severe Back Pain, Especially Near the Spine?

Severe back pain near the spine often indicates problems related to the spinal discs, vertebrae, or surrounding nerves. When such pain lasts for several weeks or months, it can significantly affect mobility, posture, and quality of life.

Common causes of severe back pain near the spine include:

Disc-related conditions, such as bulging or herniated discs
Spinal canal narrowing (spinal stenosis)
Degenerative changes or arthritis of the spine
Muscle strain or vertebral injuries

Initial treatment usually includes medications and physiotherapy. When these methods fail to provide relief, minimally invasive procedures like endoscopic spinal surgery may be recommended to address the root cause of pain and restore movement.

What Treatment did we provide to Mangadevi at Medicover?

At Medicover Hospitals, Kakinada, Mangadevi underwent a successful Endoscopic Spinal Surgery under the expert care of Dr Chandu Lingolu.

This minimally invasive procedure was chosen because it allows precise treatment of spinal problems with minimal damage to surrounding tissues, resulting in less pain and faster recovery.

The treatment process included:

Diagnosis: Detailed evaluation to accurately identify the cause of her chronic spinal pain.
Surgical Procedure: Endoscopic Spinal Surgery was performed successfully to relieve nerve pressure and eliminate the source of pain.
Post-operative Care and Recovery: Dedicated nursing care and monitoring supported a smooth recovery, helping Mangadevi regain her ability to stand, move, and manage daily activities independently.
