Spinal Cord Disorders: Surgical Solutions for a Better Life

Spinal cord problems can severely affect movement and quality of life. Dr. Madnani explains how surgical solutions can restore function and reduce pain.

Spinal cord disorders, including herniated discs, tumors, trauma, and degenerative diseases, can lead to pain, paralysis, and disability. When conservative treatments fail, surgical intervention may be necessary. Dr. Yash Madnani offers expertise in spinal decompression, tumor removal, and spinal stabilization techniques. His precise, patient-centered care ensures minimal risk and optimal outcomes, giving patients a renewed chance at mobility and pain-free living.

Common Surgical Procedures for Spinal Cord Disorders:

·         Decompression:

This involves removing bone or tissue that is compressing the spinal cord or nerves. Procedures like laminectomy (removing part of the vertebra) or discectomy (removing a herniated disc) can relieve pressure and alleviate symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness.

·         Spinal Fusion:

This procedure joins two or more vertebrae together, often using bone grafts and metal implants, to stabilize the spine and prevent movement that may be causing pain or nerve damage.

·         Artificial Disc Replacement:

Instead of fusing vertebrae, this procedure replaces a damaged disc with an artificial one, aiming to preserve spinal mobility.

·         Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty:

These minimally invasive procedures are used to treat compression fractures in the vertebrae. Bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it and relieve pain.
