# Hyderabad doctors: Early signs key for brain and spine health 2026-08-19T14:07:59+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Neurosurgeons Dr. Sri Krishna Chaitanya Kondety and Dr. Savitr Sastri BV from KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad held a session on July 29 to highlight the importance of early detection for brain and spine conditions. They urged people not to ignore warning signs such as persistent back pain, numbness, unsteadiness, or long-lasting headaches. The doctors noted that treatment has shifted from traditional surgeries to small-incision, technology-driven methods, aided by modern imaging and guidance systems for better accuracy and faster recovery. They stressed that not every problem requires surgery, but early detection can make a significant difference. The event concluded with a call for greater health awareness and prompt medical consultation. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Brain and spine disorders often go undiagnosed in India until they become severe, partly because early symptoms like back pain or headache are dismissed as routine. Delayed treatment can lead to permanent disability or higher surgical risk. KIMS Hospital, a major corporate chain in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, treats a large number of such cases. The doctors' emphasis on minimally invasive techniques reflects a wider trend in Indian neurosurgery, where laparoscopic and robotic-assisted procedures are gradually replacing open surgeries. This shift can reduce hospital stays and infection rates. Patients with chronic back pain or neurological symptoms should seek a specialist's opinion early, especially if symptoms persist beyond a few weeks. ## Coverage - thehansindia.com Straight reporting of a hospital awareness event without any political or ideological framing.
