Who we help

When surgery is worth considering

Spine surgery is a serious medical decision and is usually considered only when symptoms are significant and conservative treatment has not helped. Tick the signs you recognize — and request a doctor’s assessment.

Seek urgent care

If you have loss of bladder or bowel control, rapidly worsening weakness, or numbness around the groin area, this may be an emergency and you should seek urgent medical care immediately. The final decision on whether surgery is suitable should always be made by a spine surgeon after reviewing your MRI, symptoms, medical history, and previous treatments.

About spine surgery

What you should know about surgery

Back and spine problems are very common, but not every back pain requires surgery. Many patients improve with physiotherapy, medication, injections, lifestyle changes, or time.

 

However, when a disc, bone, ligament, or narrowing in the spine puts pressure on the nerves, symptoms can become serious and difficult to manage. Patients may experience back pain, shooting leg pain, sciatica, numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty walking.

 

The most common causes are a herniated (slipped) disc, spinal stenosis, nerve compression, degenerative changes, or scoliosis. Modern procedures are usually minimally invasive, with a gradual, medically supervised recovery.

The goal of most spine surgeries

Relieve pressure on the nerve

Free the compressed nerve root and remove the source of pain.

Reduce pain and numbness

Ease back and leg pain, numbness, tingling and weakness.

Improve mobility

Improve movement and posture and help you return to normal life.

Procedures

The procedures

The main spine procedures we help patients with are lumbar decompression, lumbar microdiscectomy, and scoliosis correction surgery for selected cases.

Lumbar decompression

Commonly used when the spinal canal becomes too narrow and compresses the nerves — often caused by spinal stenosis, thickened ligaments, bone overgrowth, or degenerative changes. The surgeon removes the tissue or bone pressing on the nerve to relieve pain, numbness, weakness, or walking difficulty.

Approximately

$6,000 – $13,000

Lumbar microdiscectomy

Commonly used when a herniated or slipped disc presses on a nerve and causes sciatica. The surgeon removes the part of the disc pressing on the nerve to reduce back pain, shooting leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness.

Approximately

$5,000 – $9,000

Scoliosis correction surgery

Considered when the spinal curve is severe, progressing, or likely to worsen. The most common operation is spinal fusion with rods and screws to partly straighten the spine and stop the curve from progressing.

Approximately

$10,000 – $30,000

FAQ

Answers to the key questions about surgery

Does everyone with back pain need surgery?
No. Not every back pain requires surgery — many patients improve with physiotherapy, medication, injections, lifestyle changes, or time. Spine surgery is a serious medical decision and is usually considered only when symptoms are significant and conservative treatment has not helped. The final decision on whether surgery is suitable should always be made by a spine surgeon after reviewing your MRI, symptoms, medical history, and previous treatments.
The most common causes:
  • Disc herniation / slipped disc — part of a disc moves out of place and presses on a nearby nerve, causing lower back pain and pain travelling into the buttock, leg, or foot (sciatica).
  • Spinal stenosis — the space inside the spine becomes too narrow, putting pressure on the nerves and causing back pain, leg pain, heaviness, numbness, weakness, or walking difficulty.
  • Nerve compression — pain can travel into the legs or feet and feel sharp, burning, electric, or shooting.
  • Degenerative changes — with age, arthritis, disc wear, thickened ligaments, or bone spurs reduce the space around the nerves.
  • Scoliosis — an abnormal sideways curve of the spine; larger or worsening curves can affect posture, balance, pain, breathing, and quality of life.
Ongoing spine or nerve problems can lead to persistent (chronic) pain that affects walking, sleeping, working and daily activities; limited mobility, with difficulty walking or standing for long periods; increasing numbness, tingling or weakness in the leg or foot; a reduced quality of life; and growing reliance on painkillers. If weakness becomes progressive, specialist review is especially important.
Before spine surgery, the doctor will usually review your MRI scan, symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, and general health. Pre-surgery checks may include an MRI of the spine, X-ray or CT scan, blood tests, an ECG / heart check, an anesthesiologist consultation, and a review of current medication. The surgeon will explain whether surgery is appropriate, what procedure is recommended, what the risks are, and what recovery is expected in your specific case.
Serious complications are uncommon, but spine surgery still carries risks and should be considered carefully. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, blood clots, nerve injury, spinal fluid leak, pain that does not fully improve, recurrence of disc herniation, the need for further surgery, a reaction to anesthesia, implant-related problems or loss of correction, and reduced flexibility in the fused part of the spine. No surgery can guarantee a perfect result — this is why specialist review is important. The surgeon will decide whether the expected benefit is higher than the risk in your individual case.
Recovery after spine surgery is gradual. Patients are usually encouraged to start walking soon after the operation, but heavy lifting, bending, twisting, and intense exercise are normally restricted for several weeks. Guidance usually includes walking regularly (starting with short distances), avoiding heavy lifting and excessive bending or twisting, following wound care instructions, taking medication only as advised, and attending follow-up consultations. We also help coordinate follow-up communication with the clinic after you return home. For scoliosis surgery, recovery and follow-up are usually more intensive, especially for children and teenagers.
Surgery starts from $5,000. In most cases, package prices include the hospital stay, pre-operative tests, airport and hospital transfers, translation support, and post-surgery consultations. Our service is also included in the price — you do not pay us separately. The price you receive through us will always be the same as, or better than, contacting the clinic directly. Ranges vary by country, clinic, surgeon experience, hospital comfort, diagnostic needs, and case complexity.
Clinic selection is carried out exclusively by our medical team. From more than 200 clinics reviewed, we picked the best, assessing the doctors’ qualifications and experience, the quality of equipment and materials, the number and outcomes of operations performed, international accreditations (such as JCI), conditions and comfort at the clinic, and exclusive pricing. We constantly update the list — adding new clinics and removing those that no longer meet our standards.
