Back Pain Treatment
Back Pain Treatment
Back pain can range from a minor ache to agonizing, indescribable pain. It is one of the most common reasons why people visit their healthcare providers. Back pain can be:
- Axial back pain which is often restricted to mid back region.
- Radiating back pain which flows down to lower extremities
Back pain can be extremely disturbing and interfere with your daily activities.
At the Chennai Spine & Scoliosis Clinic there we have many treatment options to help your back pain and get back to daily activities. See our experts to discuss your options. We are here to help.
Neck Pain Treatment
Neck Pain Treatment
Neck pain is defined as pain in or around the spine beneath your head, also known as the cervical spine. Neck pain is equally annoying and disabling like low back pain. Depending on the cause, neck pain can persist for days or years.
Common causes include osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, herniated disc, pinched nerve, mental and physical stress, strain, poor posture, tumors, and other health conditions.
- Axial neck pain is felt mostly in the neck.
- Radicular neck pain in which pain shoots into other areas such as the shoulders or arms.
Depending on your individual symptoms and circumstances, our specialist will guide whether a conservative treatment or a surgical course of action will work best for you.
Spinal Deformity Surgeries (Scoliosis ,Kyphosis )
Spinal Deformity Surgeries
Scoliosis or kyphosis may be indicated by an abnormal curve in your spine. Spinal deformity surgery is used to correct the abnormal curve in severe scoliosis and kyphosis. The following are the primary goals of scoliosis surgery:
- Refraining the curve from deforming
- Correct the spinal deformity
- Improved Trunk Control
At the Chennai Spine & Scoliosis Clinic, we follow’s three core principals.
- Observation: Serial radiographs (X-rays) to track the progression
- Brace: Typically recommended for children and adolescents during their growth stages
- Surgery: Surgery is indicated when curve progression occurs or is expected, or to treat a cosmetic deformity that the patient finds unacceptable.
Spinal Fusion Surgeries
Spinal Fusion Surgeries
Spinal fusion surgery is performed when the spine is unstable and cannot maintain functional alignment between all of its critical elements, or when irregular movements cause pain and put neighboring structures at danger of harm. The fusion is the joining of two vertebrae to form one big bone.Commonly known ailments that lead to spinal instability:
- Degenerative joint
- Spondylolysis
- Fractures
- Infections
- Tumors
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries
Minimally Invasive Spine Surgeries
The stabilization of the spinal segments and the reduction of spinal nerve compression are the objectives of minimally invasive surgery.
- Nerve compression can be caused by spinal instability, bone spurs, or prolapsed discs.
- Recovery period for minimally invasive spine surgery is quicker than for open spine surgery.
Among the minimally invasive spinal surgeries offered at Chennai Spine & Scoliosis Clinic are microdiscectomy, laminectomy, and tumor removal.
The use of micro instruments, a microscope, and an endoscope enable our surgeons to perform medical procedures with minimal tissue exposure. These procedures include anterior cervical disc fusion/replacement and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation.
Day Care Spine Surgeries
Day Care Spine Surgeries
Day Care Surgery, also known as same-day surgery, refers to surgeries or procedures that do not necessitate a patient’s overnight stay at the hospital or surgical centre. Typically performed under short general anaesthesia for spinal problems such as slip disc and radiculopathy. The patient is usually discharged and walks home from the hospital that same evening. We offer the best Day care surgery as our procedures is:
- Minimally invasive Micro-endoscopic or endoscopic spine surgeries
- Extremely safe because they do not require general anaesthesia or close monitoring after surgery.
Following discharge, the patient is in constant contact with our spine team for pain management.
Spine Injection Procedures
Spine Injection Procedures
A lumbar epidural injection delivers steroid medication directly to the area of pain. The epidural lies close to the spinal cord which makes it a convenient place to inject an anti-inflammatory medication, usually a steroid.
This is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed at our Chennai Spine & Scoliosis Clinic and the patients are usually discharged on the same day.
- Careful imaging of the epidural, through the use of X-ray fluoroscopy, is done at our clinic which makes the placement of the injection more accurate.
- Our team of spine and pain management specialists specializes in these procedures.
Spinal Decompression Surgeries (Discectomy, Laminectomy)
Spinal Decompression Surgeries
Spinal decompression surgery is a surgical procedure that involves making an incision in your neck or back to remove foreign substances such as bulging discs, bone spurs, thickened ligaments, and disc herniations that are pinching your nerves.
At the Chennai Spine & Scoliosis Clinic we perform two kinds of decompression surgery:
- Laminectomy is performed in the case of spinal stenosis to relieve leg pain. Bone and ligament are removed to make more space for the spinal nerves.
- Discectomy is used to treat disc herniation. The loose parts of the nucleus within the disc and spinal canal are removed.
Consult our expert surgeons to make sure which surgery is right for you.
Structured Rehabilitation Advice
Structured Rehabilitation Advice
The second most frequent reason of postoperative back pain is inaccurate and/or insufficient postoperative rehabilitation, which comes after an incorrect preoperative diagnostic and subsequent spine surgery.
The length and difficulty of the postoperative rehabilitation will increase with the extent of the surgery.
- We understand that every patient is different, and a patient’s continued treatment and workup need to be individualized to his or her particular problem and situation.
- Our team of expert pain management team carefully chalks a structured postoperative rehabilitation program that includes stretching, strengthening, and conditioning based on the needs of individual patients.
Revision Spine Surgeries
Revision Spine Surgeries
When a previous spinal surgery does not produce the desired results, revision spine surgery is performed. Some of the reasons you may require complex revision spine surgery include:
- Original surgery didn’t’ fix the problem
- An implant fails
- Some other problem occurs after your original surgery
At the Chennai Spine & Scoliosis Clinic we get many patients with a failed previous spine surgery. On such cases, we routinely perform revision surgery to ensure that their spine problem is resolved and their problems are addressed. We have extensive experience dealing with revision spine surgery cases and can guarantee successful outcomes even in the most complex cases.
