Spine is a stack of little bones called vertebrae along the centre of your back, from your seat to your neck. It supports your head, shoulders, and upper body. Your spine plays another key role: The vertebrae make a tunnel for your spinal cord. That’s the set of nerves that connect your brain to most of your body. Depending upon the severity and extent of problems there are various treatment options available. Deciding whether or not to undergo surgery, is a difficult decision, especially when the surgery involves your spine. Bowel or bladder problems related to the spine are considered an emergency; this alone is a good reason to have spine surgery.
Progressive or severe weakness in one or more limbs is also a reason to consider spine treatment. “Drop foot,” “clumsy hands,” “legs giving way” are all very concerning and could represent partial paralysis. A life-crushing debility from the pain associated with a spinal condition that is not responding to all the treatments you’ve been throwing at it or being bedridden and unable to participate in daily life in a meaningful way are definitely reasons to consider spine treatment. Spine Treatment helps you move around better, be more physically fit, reduces the amount of pain medication required and helps you be more productive at work and in general.
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), does not involve a long incision, it avoids significant damage to the muscles surrounding the spine. Typically, this results in less pain after surgery and a faster recovery Spine surgery is usually recommended only when a period of nonsurgical treatments like medications and physical therapy have not relieved the painful symptoms caused by your back problem. In addition, surgery is only considered if your doctor can locate the exact source of your pain, such as a herniated disk or spinal stenosis.
A common type of endoscopic spinal surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove herniated disc material that is causing pain in the lower back and legs (lumbar), mid back (thoracic), or neck and arms (cervical). Endoscopic discectomy is the least invasive and effective surgical technique for treating spinal disc herniation patients.
Disc herniations can result from general wear and tear, such as when performing jobs that require constant sitting and squatting or driving (sedentary lifestyle), lifting. Professional athletes, especially those playing contact sports, are prone to disc herniations.
Spinal stenosis is an abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal that may occur in any of the regions of the spine.
Spondylolisthesis is the forward displacement of a vertebrae over the another.
The type of fracture in the spine that is typically caused by osteoporosis is generally referred to as a compression fracture. Women, especially those older than 50, are at greatest risk for spine fractures.women and men who have osteoporosis have an even greater risk of spine fractures.
Facet joint arthropathy refers to a degenerative disease that affects the joints of the spine
Scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine, most often manifests itself in children during growth.
