Spine Care and Ortho Care

Spine Care and Ortho Care

Spine is the bridge between the body and the brain. The brain continues as spinal cord and comes out of spinal column as Peripheral nerves at all levels. These peripheral nerves exit the spine through intervertebral foramen all the way from the neck(Cervical) area to the bottom of the spine(Sacral) area.

They travel further to the different parts of the body, to their designated locations respectively to create a seamless connectivity from every part of the body and the brain. These signals are bidirectional carrying information to brain as well as bring the action signals to the body as directed by the brain round clock.

Spinal column has an interesting alignment of vertebral bones one over the other, interlocked by fine joints and supported by muscles of the back to maintain the posture, stability, mobility and flexibility. Primarily the spinal column contains the spinal cord and protects it. Hence spinal cord has millions of nerve cables called tracts that carry valuable information between the body and the brain. Thus brain is able to direct, execute and supervise all the activities of day to day life.

Between the childhood to old age spine undergoes varieties of changes that include growth, posture, maintenance of position, movements of neck and lower back, degeneration, spondylosis, injuries, Tumors and mechanical strain leading to pain and discomfort. Therefore handling spine is very delicate especially with different kind of problems occurring at different ages. The imaging(MRI Scan), micro neurosurgery, minimally invasive spine surgery, endoscopic spine surgery, intra operative 3D imaging of the spine, intra operative electro physiological monitoring, spinal cord stimulation techniques, spinal implants and devices, spinal regeneration and finally Neuro Rehabilitation has made spine care and surgery very sophisticated and highly advanced. The posture of an individual depends upon spine health ultimately. Spine makes one stand stable and straight forward. Hence the aphorism “ spineless individual "for those who are not upright".

Rehabilitation plays a key role in maximising the recovery. It should start as early as possible and should continue till the expected goal is achieved. It helps in achieving functional ability by promoting recovery and maintaining the integrity of various muscles and ligaments as well as the mobility of the joints. There by the nerves once recovered can soon take over the control of the skilled movements of the body.

Generally spine care is prolonged and often long term comparatively from other medical conditions. Getting the control of the paralysed muscles, urine and motion control, regaining the sexual function and improving sensations of the body affected is the ultimate goal to enhance the quality of life. It goes without saying that the pain relief is essential in all stages of spine care. Time to time evaluation by internal medicine specialists, Pulmonologist, Cardiologist, gastroenterologists, Urologists and Nutritional specialists is also equally important.
