Using cutting-edge technology and personalized care, we aim to address your condition effectively while ensuring your comfort at every step.
What is Disc Disease?
Disc disease refers to conditions affecting the intervertebral discs – the cushioning pads between the bones (vertebrae) in your spine. These discs provide flexibility and act as shock absorbers for the spine. Over time, they can degenerate, herniate, or become damaged, leading to pain and reduced mobility.
Common types of disc diseases include:
- Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD): Wear and tear over time can cause the discs to lose flexibility and cushioning.
- Herniated Disc: A tear in the disc’s outer layer can allow its gel-like center to bulge out, pressing on nearby nerves.
- Bulging Disc: The disc protrudes outward without a complete tear, potentially causing nerve irritation.
Symptoms to Watch For
The symptoms of disc disease vary depending on the affected area of the spine:
- Neck (Cervical Spine): Pain radiating to shoulders or arms, numbness, or weakness in the hands.
- Lower Back (Lumbar Spine): Pain in the lower back, radiating to the legs (sciatica), or difficulty standing and walking.
- General symptoms include stiffness, reduced range of motion, and tingling sensations.
Causes of Disc Disease
Several factors contribute to the development of disc disease:
- Aging: Natural degeneration of the discs over time.
- Injuries: Trauma to the spine, such as from accidents or falls.
- Lifestyle Factors: Sedentary habits, poor posture, or repetitive heavy lifting.
- Genetic Predisposition: Family history of spinal conditions.
Treatment Options
At Vanchilingam Advanced Neurology and Stroke Care, we offer a wide range of treatment options tailored to your specific condition and needs. We utilise advanced neurosurgical microscopes for interventions, which improve visualization for the surgeon and surgical team without increasing the size of the surgical incision.
Non-Surgical Treatments:
- Physical Therapy: Exercises to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and support the spine.
- Medications: Pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants to alleviate symptoms.
- Epidural Steroid Injections: Targeted injections to reduce inflammation and provide relief from pain.
Minimally Invasive Procedures:
- Nerve Blocks: Targeted pain relief for specific nerve-related pain.
- Percutaneous Discectomy: A minimally invasive procedure to remove portions of the herniated disc.
Surgical Solutions (if necessary):
- Microdiscectomy: Removal of the herniated portion of the disc to relieve nerve compression.
- Spinal Fusion: Stabilizing the affected vertebrae by fusing them together.
- Artificial Disc Replacement: Replacing the damaged disc with an artificial one to restore movement.
