Endoscopic Spine Surgery
The ultimate procedure in the realm of “minimally invasive” surgical procedures is endoscopic spine surgery.
90% of back pain patients get relieved with postural advice and exercises explained in back school program. 1% only require surgery and is considered safe with faster recovery with minimally invasive technique called Endoscopic Spine Surgery.
Back school is a humble social initiative by VIROC for the patient’s education which plays a major role to prevent and control back and neck pain, for “prevention is better than cure”
Did you know that costs related to the treatment of back pain are estimated to be more than $100 billion per year in America. From which one third accounts for the direct cost of care.
This leads to decreased productivity, loss of wages and absenteeism. The Indian data not only corresponds to the above given statistics but surpasses the figures given the population of our country and poor working schedules.
As a mission to prevent and control back pain we have decided to educate our people and society so that they can take responsibility in the prevention and control of their own problems. A step towards making the Indian society healthy.
