One of the strongest parts of the human body is the spine . Our body weight and workload are balanced by it. Throughout life, the spine endures a great deal of wear and tear. Our bodies can jump/run and endure long hours of work and play before the age of 30. As a result, the spine and muscles are strong. Overactivity leaves us with a tired ache or cramp, which is relieved by proper rest. As you age, you begin to lose the performance endurance and strength of your spine because of its weakening and stiffening. Thus, we need to strengthen our muscles to support the spine better.
Besides being an integral part of our nervous system, the spinal cord also plays an imperative role in our bodies. Damage to the spinal cord or its nerves will result in severe disorders. The treatment for back pain is back surgery. Several bones are joined together, or the bone preventing flexibility is removed. Pressure is applied to the spinal cord to relieve pain caused by nerves attached to it.
Dr.Anish Gandhi diagnoses and treats spinal disorders both acutely and chronically. As well as non-surgical treatments, Dr.Anish Gandhi develops patient-centric treatment plans to help our patients return to normal, active lives.
Spine surgery is a type of surgery that is performed to treat conditions affecting the spine, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spinal fractures. The spine is a complex structure that supports the body and protects the spinal cord, and it is made up of bones (vertebrae), discs, and ligaments.
There are several different types of spine surgery, including:
Discectomy: A procedure to remove a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve root or the spinal cord.
Laminectomy: A procedure to remove part of the vertebrae (lamina) to create more space for the spinal cord or nerve roots.
Spinal fusion: A procedure to join two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine.
Vertebroplasty: A procedure to inject bone cement into a fractured vertebra to stabilize it.
Kyphoplasty: A procedure similar to vertebroplasty, but with the addition of a balloon that is used to restore the shape of the vertebra before the cement is injected.
Spine surgery is usually only recommended if non-surgical treatments, such as medications or physical therapy, have not provided sufficient relief. The specific type of surgery that is recommended will depend on the specific condition and the needs of the patient.
Spine surgery can be a complex and risky procedure, and it is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits with a neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon before deciding to undergo surgery.
