A pinched nerve occurs when a nerve is compressed due to a bulging spinal disc, narrowing of the spinal canal, or displacement of bone structures. This condition can cause pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness in the limbs. Many patients feel confused and often ask, which specialist should I see for a pinched nerve to receive proper and safe treatment from the beginning.
Basically, a pinched nerve can be treated by either a neurosurgeon or an orthopedic spine specialist, depending on the location and severity of the condition. At Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital, a team of experienced doctors from both specialties is available to treat pinched nerve conditions using minimally invasive approaches supported by modern medical technology. This allows patients to recover faster with minimal risk and post-procedure pain.

Pinched Nerve Treatment Options at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital
Depending on the patient’s condition, several pinched nerve treatment options are available at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital:
1. Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery (BESS)
Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery (BESS) is a minimally invasive spinal procedure performed through two small incisions of approximately 1 cm. This technique is commonly used to treat pinched nerves caused by herniated discs (HNP) or spinal stenosis. With the assistance of an endoscopic camera, the doctor can precisely remove tissue that compresses the nerve while minimizing tissue trauma.
2. Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD)
In the Percutaneous Laser Disc Decompression (PLDD) procedure, imaging guidance such as X-ray is used to insert a small cannula with a diameter of around 0.8 cm into the affected spinal disc. Through this cannula, laser energy is applied to reduce or vaporize the protruding part of the disc.
The main goal of PLDD is to relieve pressure on the nerve, thereby reducing pain, tingling, and other symptoms caused by disc herniation.
3. Arthrospine
Arthrospine is one of the minimally invasive surgical options for treating pinched nerve cases. The procedure is performed through a very small incision, helping to minimize tissue damage. This technique reduces pressure on the compressed nerve and supports a faster recovery process after surgery.
4. Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a surgical procedure on the cervical spine that involves removing a damaged disc to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. After the disc is removed, the vertebral segment is stabilized to support neck function. ACDF can help relieve pain, muscle weakness, numbness, and tingling sensations.
5. Disc Replacement (Artificial Disc Replacement Surgery)
Disc replacement surgery involves replacing a damaged spinal disc with an artificial implant. This implant is designed to mimic the function of a natural spinal disc, helping maintain spinal mobility while reducing symptoms caused by a pinched nerve.
