General Spine

  • Scoliosis

    Scoliosis is a condition characterized by the abnormal curvature of the spine that causes a deviation to one side. It causes a physical deformity...

  • Spondylosis

    Spondylosis is a condition where the bones that make up the spine (vertebrae) degenerate. Typically this degeneration forms bony...

  • Spinal Stenosis

    Spinal stenosis is a condition caused by the vertebral column constricting and exerting pressure on the spinal cord or neural foramen...

  • Herniated Disc

    The predominant symptom of a herniated disc is pain, which can range from mild to severe and is usually aggravated by movement.

  • Arthritis of the Spine

    Spine arthritis is a condition characterized by the inflammation, degeneration, or wearing out of cartilage in the joints of the spine.

  • Spondylolisthesis

    Spondylolisthesis is the displacement of the vertebral disc from the spinal column. Outward (forward) displacement is termed as anterolisthesis...

  • Spinal Disorders

    Each bone or vertebra is separated from the other by a spongy tissue called an intervertebral disc, which acts as a cushion and prevents...

  • Degenerative Disc Disease

    Degenerative disc disease (DDD) refers to the gradual deterioration of the intervertebral discs between the vertebrae.

  • Spine Deformities

    It is a condition where the spine or backbone is curved sideways instead of appearing in a straight line.

  • Kyphosis

    Kyphosis is a condition of abnormal curvature of the spine that causes rounding of the upper back or a hunchback.

  • Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

    Sacroiliac joint dysfunction or sacroiliac joint pain is one of the common causes of low back pain.

Cervical Spine

  • Cervical Stenosis

    Cervical stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal that protects the spinal cord and its branching nerves.

  • Cervical Disc Herniation

    Cervical disc herniation can arise due to aberrations of the intervertebral disc such as bulging, rupture, and slipped or extruded disc.

  • Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease

    Cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a misnomer, as it is not a disease as such but a condition that affects the strength...

  • Cervical Disc Protrusion

    Cervical disc protrusion, commonly known as a disc bulge, occurs when the spinal discs and associated ligaments are intact...

  • Cervical Spondylosis

    Cervical spondylosis, also called arthritis of the neck, is an age-related medical condition characterized by deterioration of spinal joints...

  • Cervical Degenerative Disorder

    Cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a misnomer as it is not a disease but a condition that affects the strength, resiliency...

Lumbar Spine

  • Lumbar Stenosis

    Lumbar stenosis is the compression of spinal nerves caused by the narrowing of the spinal canal. It is one of the common causes...

  • Lumbar Herniated Disc

    A herniated disc is a condition in which the outer fibers (annulus) of the intervertebral disc are damaged, causing the soft...

  • Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease

    Lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common cause of lower back pain. Over time, these natural shock absorbers wear out and degenerate.

Thoracic Spine

  • Thoracic Disc Herniation

    Thoracic herniation disc is a condition in which the outer fibers (annulus) of the intervertebral disc are damaged causing the soft inner...

  • Thoracic Nerve Compression

    Thoracic nerve compression refers to a compressed nerve root in the thoracic region of the spine, also called the upper back.

  • Thoracic Pain

    Thoracic pain is the pain and discomfort caused due to damage to the muscles, nerves, bones, and joints of the upper and middle...
