Degenerative Spine & Disc Disorders
Degenerative Spine & Disc Disorders
Back pain and disc problems are among the most common causes of disability. Our spine specialist in Kochi prioritizes accurate diagnosis, physical therapy, and medication before recommending surgery.
Understanding Degenerative Spine Disease:
As we age, the discs and joints in our spine wear down. This can cause sciatica, disc prolapse, cervical spondylosis, and chronic back pain. In Kochi, we offer comprehensive evaluation for patients suffering from these common but debilitating spine problems.
Diagnosis and Evaluation:
We use MRI, neurological assessments, and posture analysis to determine the cause of pain. Our focus is always to treat the root of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Medical and Non-Surgical Management:
Most patients improve with conservative management—pain medications, physiotherapy, ergonomic correction, and lifestyle advice. Injections or nerve blocks may be offered for short-term relief. Surgery is recommended only when conservative options fail.
Surgical Interventions:
When surgery becomes necessary, we employ microdiscectomy, keyhole decompression, and fusion techniques, all under O-arm navigation. These methods ensure smaller incisions, faster healing, and high precision.
Long-Term Care:
Patients receive rehabilitation focused on posture correction and strengthening. We also educate on preventing recurrence through regular exercise and ergonomics.
