Comprehensive care for degenerative spine disorders, injuries, and spinal tumours using minimally invasive techniques.

Spine Conditions.

Degenerative Spine Conditions

Degenerative spine problems are some of the most common causes of back and neck pain. They occur due to wear and tear of the spine with age or lifestyle factors. The common conditions terated include:

  • Disc Prolapse / Slip Disc: The soft cushion between the bones of the spine (disc) slips out and presses on nerves, causing pain, numbness or weakness in the arms or legs.
  • Spondylosis: Age-related degeneration of the spine resulting in pain, stiffness and nerve compression.
  • Spondylolisthesis: A condition where one vertebra slips over the other, causing back pain, leg pain and sometimes difficulty walking.
  • Spinal Canal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal leading to pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, usually causing pain, tingling, or weakness while walking.

Treatment & Surgery

Most patients improve with medication, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes. When symptoms persist or weakness develops, surgery may be required. Today, these are mostly treated through minimally invasive “keyhole” spine surgeries that remove the pressure on the nerves through a very small incision, enabling quicker recovery, minimal muscle damage, less pain and faster return to normal life.

Spinal & Sports Injuries.

Accidents, falls, sudden jerky movements, and sports injuries can lead to damage in the spinal bones, discs or nerves. Common injuries include:

  • Acute Disc Prolapse after lifting heavy weight or sudden movement.
  • Spinal Fractures due to road traffic accidents, falls, or osteoporosis.
  • Nerve Compression Injuries causing pain, numbness or loss of limb strength.

Surgery

Most of these injuries can be treated with minimally invasive spine surgery using small incisions to stabilise the spine or remove the disc compressing the nerves. Modern techniques allow early mobilisation and faster rehabilitation, which is especially important for athletes and active individuals.

Spine Tumours.

Tumours can occur in the spinal cord, vertebrae, or the protective layers around the spinal cord. They may be benign or malignant, but even benign tumours can cause serious problems if they compress nerves or the spinal cord. Symptoms may include:

  • Persistent back or neck pain
  • Weakness or numbness in the arms or legs
  • Difficulty walking or maintaining balance

Treatment

Spine tumour surgeries are delicate procedures aimed at removing the tumour while protecting the spinal cord and nerves. Many spinal tumours can now be removed using keyhole or minimally invasive techniques, ensuring less tissue damage, less blood loss, reduced pain, and smoother recovery. In some cases, advanced stabilisation procedures may be required to maintain spinal strength after tumour removal.
