🟣He is among the orthopedic physicians in Tehran.
🟣One of the most common conditions that many people in society struggle with is back pain. The increasing expansion of technology, changes in lifestyle, physical inactivity, and sitting and standing in improper positions, among other factors, cause weakness in the body's muscles, particularly the areas surrounding the spine, and can have many adverse effects on people's physical and mental health.
Should a patient with back pain see a neurologist or an orthopedic specialist for diagnosis?

🟣Generally, lumbar disc surgery is performed by neurosurgeons, but in some advanced countries, bone surgeons or orthopedic surgeons also operate on discs. For this reason, if you have noticed, our colleagues who are neurosurgeons write “neurosurgeon and spine surgeon” on their signs; this is part of their specialty. However, orthopedic colleagues also have the ability to perform this surgery. In cases where there is suspicion that the patient may have vertebral slippage, a decision must be made during surgery about whether or not to fuse the vertebrae; in that situation, it is better for this team to be prepared.
What treatment methods are available for lumbar disc herniation?
🟣First, the approach is clinical. The physician examines the patient. If the patient has no neurological deficit and leg movement, sensation, and reflexes are good, there is no urgency to perform surgery, and the patient can be advised to rest. When a disc herniates and a piece of it enters the canal, the soft tissues surrounding the dural sac become inflamed and create pressure. At this time, medications such as “Gelofen” are used, which have both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Then, if the pain subsides, the patient should recover through physiotherapy; swimming is the best exercise, although the measures performed by physiotherapists are intended to accelerate recovery.
