COVID 19 dramatically changed the world in the last year, affecting people not just medically, but emotionally and financially as well. It has been a difficult time for everyone, especially the people who have been sick. Many patients have been ignoring their medical needs to avoid going to the hospital. The majority of patients opted for Online Consultation. The patient who needs to undergo any kind of surgery is also postponing the procedure. The people who have been suffering from Spinal ailments are also facing the same issues.

Reasons to avoid surgery during the Pandemic:

Many people with Spinal issues such as chronic backache, Spinal Cord Injuries, Scoliosis, etc are trying to cope up with pain by intaking painkillers and postponing their surgeries. Due to the following reasons:

1. People are scared of catching COVID 19 infection, during the procedure
2. The pandemic time has affected people financially, causing them to postpone their surgeries
3. Procedures have become costlier with the cost of personal protective equipment (PPE) and disposable materials during the surgery and ward care being added.

However, some of the patients are in acute need of spinal surgery and these patients cannot wait.
