Walk Without Pain & Restore Your Leg Strength
Premium neurosurgical decompression for spinal canal narrowing. Dr. Arun Saroha specializes in minimally invasive relief for patients in Meghalaya.
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. For many patients in Meghalaya, this condition manifests as a "heavy" feeling in the legs or pain that occurs specifically while walking—a clinical phenomenon known as neurogenic claudication. Dr. Arun Saroha specializes in advanced decompression techniques designed to create space and relieve this debilitating pressure.
Most people with spinal stenosis in Meghalaya find that their pain subsides almost immediately when they lean forward or sit down. This is because leaning forward temporarily opens the spinal canal. At our center, our objective is to provide a permanent clinical solution through surgical decompression, allowing patients to walk unlimited distances without the need to stop and rest.
Multiple degenerative changes contribute to stenosis for patients in Meghalaya:
Identifying the exact level and degree of stenosis is critical for a successful decompression. Our diagnostic suite for Meghalaya residents includes:
To visualize the "thecal sac" and determine where the nerves are being pinched.
Detailed imaging used for complex cases to see the exact flow of spinal fluid.
Checking for abnormal movement (Spondylolisthesis) that often accompanies stenosis in Meghalaya.
The definitive treatment for symptomatic spinal stenosis in Meghalaya is a Laminectomy or Laminotomy. Dr. Saroha utilizes minimally invasive microsurgical techniques to remove the bone and ligament tissue that is compressing the nerves. Unlike older "open" methods, our microsurgical approach preserves the stabilizing muscles and ligaments of the back.
Patients from Meghalaya often report an "instant" relief of their leg pain following the procedure. Recovery is focused on early mobilization; most patients are up and walking the same evening and can return home within 24–48 hours. By providing more room for the nerves to breathe, we restore your ability to walk, stand, and enjoy the beautiful sights of Meghalaya without physical limitation.
Targeted neurosurgical interventions designed to open the spinal canal and restore nerve function.
The gold standard for central stenosis. Creating space by removing the posterior part of the vertebrae using a high-powered clinical microscope for patients in Meghalaya.
Specifically opening the exit tunnels where individual nerves are compressed. Ideal for relieving localized leg pain for Meghalaya residents.
A sophisticated technique to decompress both sides of the spine through a single, tiny incision, preserving maximum stability for patients in Meghalaya.
Necessary for Meghalaya patients who have both stenosis and spinal instability (slippage), providing lasting structural integrity.
The least invasive option, using a camera-enabled tube (8mm) to remove bone spurs and ligaments for certain Meghalaya stenosis cases.
Targeted clinical injections into the spinal canal to reduce inflammation and provide temporary relief for patients in Meghalaya.
Leaning forward (flexion) physically opens the spinal canal and nerve tunnels, providing more room for the nerves and immediate relief for patients in Meghalaya.
While degenerative changes are common in Meghalaya residents over 60, "clinical stenosis" that limits your ability to walk or function is not normal and should be treated.
This is the medical term for the leg pain, numbness, or heaviness that occurs when walking due to nerve compression in the spine. It's the hallmark symptom of stenosis in Meghalaya.
Severe, untreated stenosis can lead to progressive nerve damage. In rare cases, it can cause "Cauda Equina Syndrome," a medical emergency requiring immediate surgery in Meghalaya.
It's a surgery performed through a tiny incision using a high-powered microscope. This allows Dr. Saroha to see the nerves in Meghalaya patients with incredible detail and safety.
Our goal is to restore unlimited walking tolerance. Most patients in Meghalaya find they can walk much further within just a few weeks of the decompression surgery.
While it is a spine surgery, modern minimally invasive techniques have made it a very efficient procedure with rapid recovery for our Meghalaya patients.
Yes. Stenosis can occur in the neck (cervical) as well as the lower back (lumbar). We provide specialized decompression for both types for patients in Meghalaya.
