Spinal surgery
Disc Herniation is the slipping of the disc that lies in between individual vertebrae. Symptoms include pain in the shoulder, arm, legs and buttocks. There could also be numbness, tingling or weakness of the affected nerve. Advanced imaging such as CT scan and MRI can help diagnose the problem. Additional investigations such as myelogram, nerve conduction study and electromyography can help locate the damaged nerve. Medications like antipain and muscle relaxants accompanied by physiotherapy can help relieve symptoms. Surgical options include cervical decompression surgery, lumbar decompression surgery, and discectomy.
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the space between the nerves causing pressure on the nerves that pass through. It can be caused by disc herniation, tumor or trauma to the spine. The Symptoms include numbness in the affected area, difficulty to walk, back pain and pain in the affected arm or leg. MRI is the best way to diagnose spinal stenosis. Treatment options include surgery and physical therapy.
Spondylolisthesis is when a spinal bone slips forward onto the spinal bone below it causing the normal curve of the spine to curve even further. Symptoms include lower back pain, pain in the buttocks and weakness of the lower limb. Conservative treatments such as rest, wearing back braces and physiotherapy can improve the condition. However, if the condition worsens surgical procedures like spinal fusion and spinal decompression can be done.
