Lumbar disc herniation is a condition in which your lumbar disc slips out of its normal position, exerting pressure on nerves. Consequently, pain radiates from the back to the leg region, commonly known as sciatica.
Explore MoreIt is a condition where the cervical disc tears, and disc material leaks into the spinal canal, causing pressure on the nerves in the cervical spine. Consequently, pain may radiate from the neck to the upper extremity or hand.
Explore MoreSpine can become fractured due to a fall or injury to the spinal bone. Fractures are commonly observed in road traffic accidents or falls from heights, especially in the younger population.
Explore MoreIn this condition, the Spinal Canal designated for spinal nerves is reduced in volume, resulting in pressure on the nerves traveling in that space. This condition is typically observed in elderly individuals and can lead to pain in the lower back radiating to both legs.
Explore MoreIt is nothing but the weakening of bones. In osteoporosis, new bone deposition doesn't keep up with old bone removal. This makes the bone brittle and susceptible to fractures easily. Common fractures due to osteoporosis are observed in the spine and hip.
Explore MoreMore than 85% of elderly people aged over 60 develop cervical spondylosis. However, symptoms manifest in only a few individuals, and even when they do, non-surgical options are the mainstay of treatment.
Explore MoreSpondylolisthesis is a term used to describe the slippage of one spinal bone over another. It is one of the major causes of low back pain. Lumbar spondylosis is another term used to denote the wear and tear of the lumbar spine.
Explore MoreScoliosis is the sideways curvature of the spine, and kyphosis is an exaggerated forward curvature of the spine. When scoliosis is combined with kyphosis, it is referred to as kyphoscoliosis.
Explore MoreSpinal tuberculosis is a condition where an infection of the spine occurs due to the germ called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. If left untreated, it can lead to significant disability.
Explore MoreA spinal tumor is simply an excessive growth of tissue in the spine. This growth can be less harmful (benign tumors) or more dangerous (malignant tumors).
