Tried Everything for Back Pain? You May Be a Candidate for Endoscopic Surgery

Back pain can be relentless — affecting your sleep, work, and overall well-being. If you’ve tried medications, physiotherapy, injections, or even lifestyle changes without lasting relief, it might be time to consider a more advanced approach. At DRHC Dubai, many patients who thought they had "tried everything" for their back pain are now finding real, long-term relief through endoscopic spine surgery.

This blog is here to help you understand when conservative treatments aren't enough — and how timely diagnosis can reveal if endoscopic surgery is right for you.

When Back Pain Becomes a Chronic Problem

Not all back pain is the same. Some discomfort goes away with rest or therapy. But if your pain is:

• Persistent beyond 6 weeks
• Unresponsive to medications or physiotherapy
• Affecting your sleep or daily function
• Radiating to your legs or arms
• Accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness

…it could indicate a structural issue in your spine that may need surgical intervention.

Common Causes That May Require Surgical Relief

Many patients who become candidates for endoscopic spine surgery are diagnosed with:

• Herniated (slipped) discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal stenosis
• Sciatica or nerve compression
• Facet joint syndrome
• Chronic lower back or neck pain with nerve involvement

These conditions can often be confirmed through advanced imaging such as MRI, CT scans, or nerve conduction studies, all of which are available at DRHC Dubai.

What Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?

Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera (endoscope) and specialized instruments inserted through a tiny incision. The surgeon visualizes and treats the problem directly, without damaging surrounding muscles or tissues.

Key Benefits:

• Minimal incision and scarring
• Shorter recovery time
• Less post-operative pain
• Lower risk of complications
• Often done as an outpatient procedure
