Physiotherapy/ Rehab 

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing spine ailments by alleviating pain, restoring mobility, and enhancing strength. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and posture correction, it reduces inflammation and improves flexibility. Additionally, physiotherapists educate patients on body mechanics and preventive strategies, promoting long-term spinal health and functional independence 

Conservative Therapy

Conservative therapy serves as the primary approach for managing spine ailments, emphasizing non-invasive treatments to alleviate symptoms and enhance function. This strategy encompasses physical therapy, pharmacological interventions, lifestyle modifications, and ergonomic adjustments. By focusing on pain relief, strengthening, and mobility improvement, conservative therapy often negates the need for surgical intervention. 

Targeted Pain Blocks

Selective Nerve Root Blocks (SNRBs) are minimally invasive procedures that deliver a combination of local anesthetic and anti inflammatory agents directly to specific inflamed or compressed spinal nerve roots. Guided by imaging techniques like fluoroscopy, these injections provide diagnostic clarity and therapeutic relief for conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. By reducing inflammation and alleviating pain, SNRBs can help patients avoid or delay the need for surgical interventions. 

Vertebroplasty/ Kyphoplasty

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures, often resulting from osteoporosis or tumours. In vertebroplasty, bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it. Kyphoplasty involves inflating a balloon to restore vertebral height before cement injection. Both procedures aim to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and prevent further spinal deformities. Kyphoplasty may offer additional benefits by restoring vertebral height and reducing the risk of future fractures 

Minimally invasive/ Keyhole surgeries

Minimally invasive and robotic spine surgeries enhance precision and reduce recovery times for spinal surgeries. Utilizing smaller incisions and advanced imaging, these techniques minimize muscle disruption and postoperative pain. Robotic assistance offers improved accuracy in implant placement, leading to fewer complications and faster rehabilitation compared to traditional open surgeries. 

Deformity Correction

Deformity correction surgeries address spinal malalignments such as scoliosis (lateral curvature), kyphosis (excessive forward curvature) and spondylolisthesis (Forward slipping of one vertebra over another). These procedures, including spinal fusion and osteotomies, aim to realign the spine, alleviate pain, and improve posture and mobility, enhancing overall quality of life, in the elderly as well as paediatric patients 

Decompression and fusion surgery

Spinal decompression and fusion surgeries are the workhorse of spinal ailments like lumbar spinal stenosis, degenerative spondylolisthesis and even cervical stenosis. Decompression alleviates  pressure on the nerve or the cord, by removing bone or disc material, while fusion stabilizes the spine by joining vertebrae. Combining both procedures enhances outcomes, reducing pain and improving mobility. 

Lumbar Microdiscectomy and ACDF

Lumbar microdiscectomy and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) are pivotal in treating specific spinal conditions like disc herniation, which cause sciatica in the lumbar region, and upper limb radiculopathy in the cervical region. Lumbar microdiscectomy relieves the compression, alleviating pain and disability, while ACDF treats cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy by removing damaged discs and stabilizing the spine, thereby reducing pain and improving function.
