Cervical Conditions
-
Cervical Radiculopathy/Myelopathy
The spine, also called the back bone, is designed to give us stability, smooth movement, as well as providing a corridor of protection for the delicate spinal cord.

Neck Pain
The first 7 vertebral bones on the spinal column form the cervical spine and are in the neck region. The neck bears the weight of the head, allows significant amount of movement, and less protected than other parts of spine.

Cervical Stenosis
Cervical spine refers to neck portion of spine, and cervical spine conditions may result from overuse injuries, trauma and certain diseases.

Cervical Disc Protrusion
Cervical disc protrusion, commonly known as disc bulge occurs when the spinal discs and associated ligaments are intact, but may form an outpouching that will press on the spinal nerves.

Cervical Fracture
The neck is made up of seven tiny bones called cervical vertebrae (C1-C7). These are protected by spongy vertebral disks present between them and supported by ligaments...

What’s New in Cervical Herniated Disc
Herniation of a disc is an anomalous spine condition characterized by leakage of the inner contents of the intervertebral disc, due to cracks in its outer wall.

Thoracic Conditions
Fracture of the Thoracic and Lumbar Spine
The backbone is made of small bones arranged from the neck region down to the buttocks, one above the other.
Know MoreDISH (Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis)
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition commonly affecting the spine characterized by calcification (bony hardening) of ligaments, tendons and joint capsule insertions.

Lumbar Conditions
Lumbar Radiculopathy
Back pain is a common condition affecting approximately 80% of the population at some point in their lives.
Know MoreLow Back Pain
Low back pain can be disabling; however, most cases heal with time (2-12 weeks) and with conservative therapy.
Know MoreHerniated disc (Lumbar)
Herniated disc is a condition in which the outer fibers (annulus) of the intervertebral disc are damaged causing the soft inner material of the nucleus pulposus to rupture out of its space.
Know MoreLumbar Stenosis
Lumbar stenosis is the compression of spinal nerves caused by narrowing of spinal canal and it is one of the common causes of low back pain.
Know MoreLumbar Disc Herniation
Lumbar disc herniation is the most common cause of low back pain and leg pain (sciatica). The lumbar intervertebral discs are flat and round, present between...

General Conditions
Spondylolysis
Spondylolysis is a stress fracture of vertebra that may progress into spondylolisthesis, a condition of displacement of vertebrae from the spinal column.
Know MoreVertebral Compression Fractures
Back pain is an indication of stress fractures known as vertebral compression fractures. Vertebral compression fractures occur when the normal vertebral body of the spine...
Know MoreSpine Trauma
Spine trauma is damage to the spine caused from a sudden traumatic injury caused by an accidental fall or any other physical injury.
Know MoreBack Pain
Back pain or backache is the pain felt in the back that may originate from muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine.
Know MoreSpondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is the displacement of vertebral disc from the spinal column. Outward (forward) displacement is termed as anterolisthesis and inward (backward) displacement is termed as retrolisthesis.
Know MoreSpine Deformities
The Spine or backbone provides stability to the upper part of our body. It helps to hold the body upright. It consists of series of irregularly shaped bones appearing in a straight line.
Know MoreFacet joint Arthritis
Facet joints, also called zygapophyseal joints are located at the back of the spine which connects the vertebrae together.
Know MoreSciatica
Sciatica is a painful condition caused by the irritation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in our bodies.
Know MoreScoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by abnormal curvature of the spine causing a deviation to one side. It causes a physical deformity making the spine look like the letter...
Know MoreDegenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) refers to gradual deterioration of the intervertebral discs between the vertebrae.
Know MoreSpinal Tumors
Spine tumor is the abnormal growths of uncontrolled tissues or cells in and around the spinal cord. Tumors can either be cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign).
Know MoreCauda Equina Syndrome
Cauda equina syndrome is an emergency condition characterized by persistent severe low back pain caused by compression of a bundle of spinal nerves (cauda equina)...
Know MoreKyphosis
Kyphosis is a condition of abnormal curvature of the spine that causes rounding of the upper back or a hunchback.
Know MoreScheuermann’s Disease
Scheuermann’s kyphosis is a deformity of the spine that develops during growth. It can be considered as increased kyphosis. Kyphosis is the C-shaped curving of the spine and is also known as hunchback.
Know MoreSacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
The sacroiliac joint is one of the large joints in the body and is formed by the connection of the sacrum and the right and left iliac (pelvic) bones.
Know MoreChordoma
Chordoma is a rare, slow growing malignant tumor that develops in the spine and skull bones. It is thought to form from the remnants of the notochord...
Know MoreAdjacent Segment Disc Disease
Spinal fusion surgery involves the fusion of two or more vertebral bones, and is a standard of care for spinal deformities and conditions such as radiculopathy...
Know MoreAnkylosing Spondylitis
The term ankylosis stands for loss of mobility of the spine, whereas spondylitis means inflammation of the spine.
Know MoreSpondyloarthropathies
Spondyloarthropathies are a group of chronic inflammatory diseases of the spine and joints. The most common spondyloarthropathies include ankylosing spondylitis...
Know MorePiriformis Syndrome
Piriformis Syndrome is an uncommon rare neuromuscular condition caused by the compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle.
Know MoreLordosis
The spine forms natural curves at the neck, torso and lower back, which allows it to absorb shock and hold the weight of the head.
