Advanced diagnostic procedure that precisely identifies painful disc levels by injecting contrast dye into intervertebral discs under X-ray guidance. Helps determine if disc degeneration or damage is the source of pain when MRI findings are inconclusive. Dr. Alladi Sridhar uses discography results to develop targeted treatment plans for specific disc pathology.
Minimally invasive endoscopic approach that accesses the spine through the foramen (nerve exit pathway) using only local anesthesia. This technique allows for nerve decompression, disc fragment removal, and targeted treatment of pain sources with minimal tissue disruption. Patients stay awake and comfortable, typically returning home the same day.
Comprehensive treatment for narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness. Dr. Sridhar offers both conservative approaches (medication, physical therapy) and minimally invasive decompression procedures to relieve pressure on spinal nerves. Treatment is tailored to stenosis severity, location, and patient-specific factors.
Specialized treatment for vertebral osteomyelitis, discitis, and epidural abscesses using minimally invasive techniques under local anesthesia. This approach allows for precise drainage, tissue sampling for diagnosis, and targeted antibiotic delivery while minimizing surgical trauma and hospital stays for patients with spinal infections.
Advanced stabilization techniques that provide spinal support through small incisions. Using specialized instruments and imaging guidance, Dr. Sridhar performs spinal fusions and instrumentation with reduced muscle damage, blood loss, and recovery time compared to traditional open surgeries. Ideal for select cases of instability, deformity, or traumatic injury.
Specialized care for patients who continue to experience pain or complications after previous spine surgeries. Dr. Sridhar's expertise includes comprehensive evaluation to identify the cause of persistent symptoms and appropriate revision techniques—from scar tissue removal to corrective procedures—tailored to address the specific reasons for prior
