Robert Jackson a Maryland patient’s testimonial on Spinal Fusion Surgery in Chennai India
July 10, 2007
A Maryland Patient Robert Jackson for his Spinal Fusion Surgery Chennai India -
“I had both LED and IDET performed on 3 consecutive low back discs. Prior to surgery, I was experiencing some low back pain at all times, with periods of severe pain and immobility. Bulging discs would put pressure on a nerve in my spine, if I made a wrong movement. The condition was getting noticeably worse for about 10 years. Chiropractic treatments and physical therapy only gave temporary relief my job in machinery repair had involved substantial lifting. My lifestyle had included weight training, running, and sailing. I was forced to work from a desk, and had to limit my activity. I was taking increasing doses of painkillers several times per day. The pain and depression were getting tough to handle.I began to research back pain on the Internet, and learned of Dheeraj Bojwani Consultants. I spoke Dr. Dheeraj Bojwani. A discogram showed that I was a candidate for LED and IDET, and surgery was scheduled my surgery with Dheeraj Bojwani Consultants in India. I arrived for surgery late in the morning, and was taken in about noon. I was pretty groggy when I woke up. I was feeling a lot of stiffness and some pain in the lower left back area, the entry point for the procedures. I was able to sit up and get dressed about an hour later. I took the next week off from work. There was a fair bit of pain, mostly on the left side. The pain was similar to, but less than the worst pain before the surgery. My wife drove me to work one week later. I had a riser placed on my desk for my PC and a writing area, so that I could stand at my desk. I was not allowed to sit or drive for at least 2 months following surgery, to minimize disc pressure. I was able to put in 12-13 hour workdays with the help of a back brace and Vicodin.I began long walks 4 weeks after surgery. I dropped the brace and began to sit at work. I am now doing mild abdominal exercises and 40 minutes of Stairmaster per day. During passive activity, I feel no back pain. There is some pain during light lifting or stretching moves, similar to knee and shoulder surgeries I have had before, but I have taken painkillers only 3-4 times in the past month. I am meeting with a physical therapist today to assess my condition. I want to accelerate my exercise routine, but don’t want to push too hard too fast. Thanks Dr. Dheeraj Bojwani for the opportunity to get my surgery done in India, and getting me back to feeling better!”

Medical or Health tourism has become a common form of vacationing, and covers a broad spectrum of medical services. It mixes leisure, fun and relaxation together with wellness and healthcare. The idea of the health holiday is to offer you an opportunity to get away from your daily routine and come into a different relaxing surrounding. Here you can enjoy being close to the beach and the mountains. At the same time you are able to receive an orientation that will help you improve your life in terms of you’re health and general well being. It is like rejuvenation and cleans up process on all levels - physical, mental and emotional. Many people from the developed world come to India for the rejuvenation promised by yoga and Ayurvedic massage, but few consider it a destination for hip replacement or brain surgery. However, a nice blend of top-class medical expertise at attractive prices is helping a growing number of Indian corporate hospitals lure foreign patients, including from developed nations such as the UK and the US. As more and more patients from Europe, the US and other affluent nations with high Medicare costs look for effective options. The rapidly expanding Indian corporate hospital sector has been able to get a few thousands for treatment.
