Understanding Spinal Health

Understanding Spine Surgery

The spine is a complex structure made up of vertebrae, discs, nerves, muscles, and ligaments. When any of these parts are affected by injury, degeneration, or deformity, patients may experience chronic pain, weakness, or restricted movement.

Spine surgery helps decompress nerves, stabilise bones, and correct deformities to restore natural alignment and function.

What We Treat

Common Spine Conditions Treated

Disc Herniation (Slip Disc)

Cervical and lumbar disc herniation causing nerve compression and radiating pain.

Sciatica & Nerve Compression

Severe leg pain caused by pinched nerves in the lower spine.

Spinal Canal Stenosis

Narrowing of spinal canal causing pressure on spinal cord and nerves.

Spondylolisthesis

Slipped vertebra causing instability and nerve compression.

Spinal Fractures or Injuries

Traumatic spine injuries requiring immediate stabilization and treatment.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Age-related disc wear and tear causing chronic pain and stiffness.

Kyphosis / Scoliosis

Abnormal spine curvature deformities requiring surgical correction.

Spinal Tumours or Infections

Specialized treatment for spinal tumors and infectious conditions.

Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

Revision surgery for patients with persistent pain after previous spine surgery.

Surgical Procedures

Types of Spine Surgeries Performed

1

Microscopic / Endoscopic Surgery

Minimally invasive procedures using small incisions and high-precision visualization for disc and nerve problems.

2

Discectomy / Microdiscectomy

Removal of herniated disc fragments pressing on spinal nerves — ideal for sciatica and slip-disc cases.

3

Laminectomy / Decompression

Removal of bone or ligament portions compressing the spinal cord or nerves in spinal stenosis.

4

Spinal Fusion

Joining vertebrae using screws, rods, or bone grafts to stabilize spine after injury or degeneration.

5

Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty

Injection of medical cement to strengthen vertebral fractures caused by osteoporosis or trauma.

6

Deformity Correction

Surgical straightening of abnormal spine curves such as scoliosis or kyphosis.
