Description

Dr. Priya Rathi is a leading spine specialist in Pune, known for her compassionate, evidence-based, and non-surgical approach to spine pain. She focuses on identifying the true source of pain rather than treating MRI or X-ray findings alone. Many patients with severe back or neck pain have normal or minimally abnormal scans, yet continue to suffer. Dr. Rathi specializes in diagnosing such complex pain conditions where muscles, nerves, joints, and central pain mechanisms play a crucial role. Her expertise includes management of neck pain, slip disc, sciatica, chronic low back pain, spine-related nerve pain, post-surgical spine pain, and age-related degenerative spine conditions. She strongly believes that not every spine problem needs surgery. With advanced pain medicine techniques, many patients can return to an active, pain-free life without undergoing major procedures. Dr. Rathi uses a comprehensive, muscle-centric and nerve-focused approach, combining detailed clinical evaluation with ultrasound guidance for precise diagnosis and treatment. Her treatment plans may include ultrasound-guided dry needling, targeted spine injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency procedures, and personalized rehabilitation strategies. Each plan is tailored to the patient’s lifestyle, work demands, and long-term goals. Patients appreciate her ability to explain the cause of pain in simple language and her honest guidance about when surgery is not required. As a dedicated spine pain specialist, Dr. Priya Rathi aims not just to reduce pain, but to restore movement, confidence, and quality of life through safe, scientific, and non-surgical spine care.
