When any patient comes to us, first of all, we prefer a non-surgical treatment like maintaining a proper posture, lifestyle modifications, involving him in physical activities, and with anti-inflammatory medications. If the person doesn’t get well with physiotherapy, home exercise, and medication, only then he should move for a surgical procedure”.
