I am a 51-year-old male with an athletic body from the USA, and I have an issue with mild left-sided neck pain that radiates to the shoulder blade for a long time. It never really bothers me during my daily activities and gym sessions. I initially consulted different doctors who conducted tests, including x-rays, but they didn't express much concern. They advised me to change my posture while sitting, standing, and sleeping, as well as continue with gym exercises or physiotherapy. Last year, while visiting India, I experienced back spasms and sought help from an orthopedic surgeon at Yashoda Hospital. I underwent MRI scans for my cervical, lumbar, and thoracic spines, which revealed disk bulges in all my lumbar discs and some degenerative changes in my cervical spine. Unfortunately, I didn't visit a spine surgeon at that time, so I didn't receive proper recommendations, except for doing some physiotherapy. It was a mistake not to consult a spine surgeon since orthopedic surgeons lack extensive knowledge in dealing with spinal issues. Upon returning to the US, I consulted two spine surgeons who reviewed my MRI results and both concluded that surgery wasn't necessary. They advised me to visit pain management centers for epidural steroid injections and see how it goes. However, I decided to go back to India and have the procedure performed by a renowned surgeon who specializes in spinal issues, as opposed to pain management doctors or anesthesiologists who lack surgical expertise. The ESI (epidural steroid injection) procedure is complex and should only be performed by qualified spine surgeons who possess knowledge about spinal nerves. I chose Dr. KIRAN LINGUTLA due to his extensive knowledge and incredible experience in performing thousands of surgeries and ESI procedures. Right from the beginning, when I contacted Dr. Lingutla's office in the USA via email, everything went smoothly and professionally until our first meeting. After reviewing the initial diagnosis and all the previous documents, it was determined that undergoing further evaluation with additional MRI scans and x-rays was necessary. After reviewing the MRI and x-ray reports, Dr. Kiran confirmed that surgery is not required and suggested proceeding with the ESI (epidural steroid injection) instead. The ESI procedure for my cervical spine and sacrum was done very smoothly, taking around 20 minutes. I never felt like I was in an operating room, and everything went well without any side effects during or after the procedure. Dr. Lingutla visited me again post-procedure, and his junior, Dr. Sneha D, was always there until I was discharged. I am currently on medication and waiting for clearance to start my physiotherapy, which will help alleviate the mild disc bulge. This condition is 100% reversible through proper physiotherapy, maintaining correct sitting, standing, and sleeping postures, and making adjustments in my daily activities and diet. Hopefully, in the next 3 to 6 months, I will be free from all my issues and back to normal. I am confident and more positive than ever after meeting with Dr. Kiran and his team. I strongly recommend Dr. Kiran Lingutla and his team for any SPINAL ISSUES because: 1)Dr. Kiran's exceptional talent, courtesy, and professionalism are evident not only in his impressive academic background but also in his track record of conducting thousands of successful procedures. His commitment to prioritizing patient needs over corporate interests is commendable. Additionally, both Dr. Kiran and Dr. Sneha diligently follow up with patients over the phone or through texts to address any concerns. In my 28 years of living in the USA, I have never encountered a renowned surgeon who provides such compassionate care to their patients ”
