Neurosurgeon OPD for Bathinda Patients

Bathinda OPD Details

The OPD is held on the last Tuesday of every month, from 11 AM to 2 PM, at Brar Healthcare, 100 Feet Road, Bathinda. Dates can shift around holidays, so please call +91-9780703819 to confirm before coming. If you need to be seen before the next monthly date, the Panchkula OPDs run Monday to Saturday.

Who Should Come to the Bathinda OPD

• People with back pain going down the leg, or neck pain with arm tingling
• Older adults whose walking distance is shrinking because of leg heaviness
• Patients told an MRI shows a brain tumour, cyst or hydrocephalus
• Families who want a second opinion before a planned brain or spine operation
• Patients already treated in Panchkula who need a follow-up review

Emergencies such as a head injury with vomiting or drowsiness, or sudden stroke signs, should go straight to the nearest hospital in Bathinda; they cannot wait for an OPD date.

Spine Problems in the Malwa Belt

Farming here means long hours on tractors, lifting sacks and bending in the fields. Truck driving is another major livelihood. Both put the lower back under strain, and slip disc with sciatica is one of the most common reasons for a visit. Most patients improve with medicines, a few days of reduced activity and physiotherapy. Surgery is considered when pain does not settle, weakness increases, or there is bladder trouble. The steps are explained on the slip disc treatment page.

If You Need to Come to Panchkula

When surgery or detailed tests are required, admission is planned at Paras Health - Panchkula, Sector 22. The drive is usually around four and a half to five hours via Barnala, Sangrur and Patiala, so it is worth planning:

• Fix the admission date in advance at the Bathinda OPD or by phone.
• Bring all scans, reports and medicine strips in one folder.
• Arrange for a family member to stay with the patient; ask about nearby stay options when you call.
• Patients with severe pain should travel lying partly reclined, with breaks.

After Surgery: Follow-Up Back Home

Once stitches are out and the patient is recovering well, many follow-up visits can be done at the monthly Bathinda OPD, avoiding repeated long journeys. Physiotherapy can continue locally with the exercises explained at discharge. Keep the discharge summary handy for any local doctor you see in between.

Why Patients Wait Too Long

In the farming belt, many people put off a back or nerve problem until after the harvest or sowing season. Some keep taking painkillers from the chemist for months. Others are scared they will be told they need an operation. In reality, most back and neck problems are treated without surgery, and early assessment usually makes treatment simpler. Numbness or weakness in a leg, or difficulty passing urine, should never be left until after the season. If walking distance is reducing, or a hand is becoming clumsy, these too are worth showing at the next monthly OPD rather than the one after.
