A lot of patients from Mohali, from the phases and sectors, Aerocity, IT City and nearby townships, come to Panchkula to see Dr. Gaurav Sharma, Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon. The OPDs are at Advaith Brain & Spine Clinic in Sector 21 and at Paras Health - Panchkula in Sector 22. Depending on where you start and the time of day, the drive usually takes somewhere between 35 and 50 minutes.
Because of that, many families plan the visit around work. The Sector 21 clinic runs in the evening (5 to 7 PM, Monday to Saturday), which suits people who can't take half a day off. The daytime OPD at Paras Health - Panchkula (10 AM to 4 PM) is more convenient when tests or a hospital admission may be needed on the same day.
Long hours at a laptop, followed by a long commute, take a toll on the neck and lower back. Neck pain going down the arm, tingling in the fingers, or back pain shooting down one leg often point to a nerve being pressed, usually by a disc. The first line of treatment is almost always medicines, physiotherapy and better posture. Surgery, such as endoscopic discectomy, is discussed only when pain persists or weakness appears.
Spinal stenosis, where walking becomes harder and the legs feel heavy after a few minutes, is common after 60. Many people live with it for years thinking it is just age. A clear diagnosis helps decide whether physiotherapy is enough or a minimally invasive decompression would help.
Brain tumours, aneurysms and bleeding in the brain are also seen, as well as patients needing follow-up after a stroke. Read about stroke and aneurysm treatment.
Most people come either through Chandigarh or along the Airport Road towards Zirakpur and then up to Panchkula; which is quicker depends on which part of Mohali you start from. If you are coming for the evening clinic, leave a little early to allow for office traffic, and call ahead on +91-9780703819 to confirm your slot.
Most treatment plans need a few follow-up visits. After the early reviews, visits are usually spaced out as recovery progresses. Physiotherapy can often be continued closer to home in Mohali, with periodic check-ups in Panchkula.
