Degenerative Spinal Disorders :

Disc degeneration is a very commonly encountered problem, in people above 55-60yrs of age. It affects primarily lower back/lumbar Spine. If properly untreated, it can cause severe chronic back pain/leg pain and weakness of lower limbs.

Spine trauma and Rehabilitation :

Our hospital offers excellent treatment for Spinal Cord Injury(SCI), caused by trauma, instead of a disease. Depending on where the Spinal cord and its roots are damaged, symptom varies from pain to paralysis, can cause even bowel and bladder incontinence.

Spinal infections :

Infections can occur in Spine bone/disc material. These infections can be caused by bacteria/Fungi and it can cause pain, paralysis of lower limbs.

Spinal tumors :

A spinal tumor/mass can grow in Spine/space surrounding Spinal cord. This tumors can grow from bone/spinal cord itself.

Spinal Deformity :

Scoliosis- an abnormal curvature of Spine can occur in children/elderly adults.

Kyphosis- an abnormal backward angulation of Spine can result in Spinal cord damage.

Minimally Invasive Procedures :

Spine -discectomy can be done by the tubular retractors(MISS),with an incision of less than 1cm. So surgical bleeding is less and hospital stay is shorter and quick recovery.

Osteoporosis- a condition of fragile bones with susceptibility to fractures can be treated by kyphoplasty- a method of augmenting vertebral height.

Revision Surgery in Spine :

Failed back surgeries/complications which occurs after Spine surgery can be managed in correct way. In right hands, Spine surgery outcomes are highly successful.
