In this blog, we will explore the importance of preventing and managing brain and spinal cord injuries. Preventive Measures: Prevention should be the primary focus when it comes to brain and spinal cord injuries. Simple measures such as wearing helmets during activities that pose a risk of head injuries, using seat belts in vehicles and ensuring a safe environment can go a long way in avoiding such incidents. It is crucial to promote awareness and educate individuals about the importance of safety precautions to prevent these injuries.

Spinal Osteoporosis Treatment

Osteoporosis is a disease of the bone in which the bones become too weak and brittle. Normally the body keeps replacing the old bone tissue with new one but in osteoporosis the rate of replacement or new bone creation doesn’t keep up with the rate of bone removal. Consequently the body makes too little bone or loses too much of it. Because of low bone density and structural bone deterioration they become weak and can break more easily from a fall or in worst case scenario even from sneezing. Although the bones become weak due to osteoporosis, there is no pain involved or other obvious symptoms. Complications from this condition can result in breakage or fracture of the spinal bones as well. These spine fractures are called vertebral compression fractures and can cause immense back pain and severely restrict the patient’s mobility. Treatment & Prevention of Spinal Osteoporosis Most patients who suffer a vertebral compression fracture get well with the help of nonsurgical treatments but if you have osteoporosis also and your pain doesn’t get better with this type of treatment Dr. Anil Dhingra, the leading spine expert in Chandigarh would recommend surgery. Kyphoplasty Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive vertebral augmentation procedure to treat acute fractures of the vertebrae.

The procedure is done under the local anaesthesia.  It is done by putting a needle in the fractured […]

Cervical Fusion – Causes and Types of the Procedure

For the relief from the painful symptoms caused by cervical spine disorders, many times surgery is required. Dehydration of disks is one of the most common underlying root causes of most spine disorders. As people age beyond 30, the gelatine-like centres dry out and become flattened. This results in the vertebrae losing its height and the healthy resilience it had. Subsequently, this degeneration pushes the vertebrae closer and causes nerve irritation, which usually stems from a ruptured disc, bone spurs, or stenosis. Dr Anil Dhingra, the best endoscopic spine surgeon, discusses cervical spinal fusion which is a surgery that joins selected bones in the neck (cervical spine) Types of Cervical Fusion There are two types of cervical fusion procedures: anterior cervical fusion, and posterior cervical fusion. Anterior Cervical Fusion One of the most common surgical procedures for problems in the cervical spine is Anterior cervical discectomy. The word ‘discectomy’ refers  to “remove the disc.” This is a procedure that is used to relieve pressure on a spinal nerve or the spinal cord that is caused by a herniated disc. In this procedure, the disc is usually removed from the front of your cervical spine. An incision is made in the front of your neck beside your trachea (windpipe). The muscles are moved to the side. The arteries and nerves in your neck are also protected. Upon reaching the front of your spine, your doctor will use an X-ray to identify the problem disc. This disc is removed all the way […]
