Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about common orthopedic and spine problems, and how to book a serial.
What is a slipped disc or PLID, and how is it treated?
A slipped disc (prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc) happens when the soft cushion between spinal bones pushes out and presses on nearby nerves, causing severe back pain or sciatica. Dr. Rahman treats it with medication, physiotherapy or minimally invasive spine surgery, depending on how severe it is.
Why does AO Basic (Switzerland) training matter for trauma surgery?
AO Trauma is the global standard for treating bone fractures. Dr. Rahman's AO Basic training from Switzerland means complex fractures are repaired using international protocols, so bones heal properly and future complications are avoided.
How are ACL/PCL tears and sports injuries treated?
Knee ligament injuries such as ACL or PCL tears are treated with arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery. This minimally invasive technique reconstructs the torn ligament precisely, so athletes return to sport faster with minimal scarring.
Do you treat age-related joint pain and arthritis?
Yes. Dr. Rahman provides care for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. Treatment ranges from joint injections, pain management and lifestyle changes to joint replacement surgery for severe cases.
What should I bring to my first consultation?
Bring your complete medical history, previous prescriptions, recent X-rays, MRI scans of the spine or joints, and any relevant blood test reports. This helps the doctor reach a quick and accurate diagnosis.
