Spine Care
Best Spine Care Hospital In Bangalore
Spine care is essential to your health. Back pain can lead to questions about whether surgery is necessary if you've been experiencing it for a long time. Various Spine-related diseases can be diagnosed and cured at Manipal Hospital, Hebbal's Centre of Excellence (CoE) Spine Care division, with the help of skilled and renowned Spine Care Specialists. Your spine is part of the central nervous system, along with your brain, and relies on the peripheral nervous system: your millions of nerves communicate with your brain to control your body's functions. Your Spines are responsible for three main functions: It protects the spinal cord, nerve roots, and several organs inside the body. Ensure that your posture is upright by providing structural support and balance. Provide flexibility in motion. You can maintain an upright position and stability with the help of your spine. A strong spine and proper posture are essential for maintaining healthy mobility, and painful spines can make this impossible. A diseased spine disrupts the functioning of the entire system, resulting in arm and leg discomfort, numbness, paralysis, and decreased bowel and bladder control.

Treatment & Procedures
Due to normal wear and tear on the body, the cartilage (discs), joints, and lower back bones slowly deteriorate over time, even in the case of healthy people. The condition is known as lumbar spondylosis. The condition is also called lower back arthritis and causes chronic pain in the lower back that worsens as one age and increases as one move. Cervical…
Cervical laminoplasty is a surgical technique that removes pressure from the spinal cord in the neck. Pressure on the spinal cord can be due to various causes including degenerative changes, arthritis, bone spurs, disc herniations, tumors, or fractures.
The disc is the soft cushioning structure located between the individual bones of the spine, called vertebra. It is made of cartilage-like tissue. In most cases, the disc is flexible enough to allow the spine to bend. An artificial disc (also called a disc replacement, disc prosthesis or spine arthroplasty device) is a device that is implanted into…
Bulging discs occur when a disc loses its original shape and expands (bulges), causing pressure on surrounding nerve roots. A disc is a gel-filled pad in the spine that cushions each vertebra, acting as a shock absorber and allowing the vertebrae to move and bend freely.
Disk disease, including infection, Discitis, is caused by a condition of the discs between the vertebrae of the spine. The cause of this is usually a bacterial infection, but it may also be a viral infection.
Radiculopathy results from a pinched nerve root exiting the spinal column, which causes symptoms. Sciatica, cervical radiculopathy, and thoracic radiculopathy can occur in any back area.
Sciatica is pain that occurs on the sciatic nerve's path. The sciatic nerve runs down each leg from the lower back through the hips and buttocks.
Spinal stenosis occurs when the backbone's interior space is too small. Pressure can be exerted on the spinal cord and nerves passing through the spine. The lower back and neck are the most common areas where spinal stenosis occurs.
The goals of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) are to address the cause of your back pain and to keep your spine stable by fusing two or more of your vertebrae together.
Usually occurring in the lower back, this condition involves one vertebra sliding forward onto the vertebra below. People may not even realise that they have the disease in mild cases because there are no symptoms. Displaced vertebrae commonly pressure nerves, resulting in back pain, buttock pain, leg weakness, or numbness. In rare cases, the patient…
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is the result of spinal cord damage in the neck.
Spinal synovial cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop along the spine, and it occurs because of the degeneration of a facet joint in the spine. A synovial cyst usually develops in the lower spine, in the lumbar region.
Congenital spine deformities refer to spine disorders that develop in an individual before birth. Spine and spinal cord structural problems occur due to improper vertebral development during early fetal development.
A spinal tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue within or surrounding the spinal cord and/or spinal column. These cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, seemingly unchecked by the mechanisms that control normal cells. Spinal tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Primary tumors originate in the spine or spinal cord, and metastatic…
A discectomy is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure proven to reduce pain caused by disc herniations (sciatica). Also called microlumbar discectomy (MLD), this is an advanced procedure where the herniated or protruding portion of an intervertebral disc that is compressing the spinal cord and affecting the nerve root is removed, shrinking an…
The spinal cord can be severely compressed due to a traumatic injury, an infection, or another condition.
This refers to removing one or more discs to treat herniated discs and degenerative disc disease or it is also used in combination with various spinal fusion procedures.
A spinal osteotomy is a surgical procedure used to correct certain deformities of the adult or pediatric spine. These include the posterior column osteotomy (PCO), the pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) and vertebral column resection (VCR).
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a spine surgery that involves approaching the spine from the front of the body to remove disc or bone material from in between two adjacent lumbar vertebrae. The procedure may be performed either as an open surgery or using minimally invasive techniques.
Spinal reconstruction surgery may be necessary for patients who have a deformity or misalignment that affects a major portion of the spine.
Posterolateral lumbar fusion is spine surgery that involves placing bone graft between elements in the back, or posterior, of the spine, leaving the disc space intact. The procedure may be performed using minimally invasive surgical techniques.
A vertebral column resection is a procedure reserved for the most severe spinal deformities and involves removing segments of the spine including the body of the vertebra and the posterior elements, which include the lamina, transverse process, and ribs.
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are procedures used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures in the spinal column, which are a common result of osteoporosis. Our neurosurgeons use imaging guidance to inject a cement mixture into the fractured bone (vertebroplasty) or insert a balloon into the fractured bone to create a space and then fill it…
Dynamic lumbar spine stabilization is a surgical technique that stabilizes the spine with flexible materials to allow for more mobility in the spine than traditional spinal fusion surgery.
As the name suggests, Spine Stabilization surgery can now be performed using minimally invasive stabilization procedures that offer patients a safe and effective alternative to back fusion with a faster recovery. It is done through a tiny incision without cutting or damaging the surrounding muscles.
Spinal conditions such as scoliosis (curving of the spine), kyphosis (increasing roundback of the spine), spondylolysis (stress fracture of the spine), and spondylolisthesis (movement of one part of the spine on another part) may affect children during their early or late childhood years.
This is a minimally invasive procedure and is done to treat compression fractures caused by osteoporosis.
This procedure consists of removing the lamina (bony arch) from the posterior portion of the vertebral bone.
This procedure is performed to release pressure from the spinal cord, that is mainly caused by spinal stenosis.
This minimally invasive procedure removes a small part of disc material and portion of bone to relieve the compression of nerve roots
This procedure corrects misalignments of pinched nerves or the spinal column. Posterior lumbar interbody fusion and anterior lumbar interbody fusion are the two types of spinal fusion procedures performed.
