A cervical disc replacement is a modern surgical solution for those suffering from chronic neck pain, arm pain, or numbness caused by conditions like degenerative disc disease or herniated discs. During this procedure, a damaged disc is replaced with an artificial one, providing relief from nerve compression while allowing for natural neck movement. Here’s why cervical disc replacement might be a better option than spinal fusion: 1️⃣ Preserves Natural Motion: Unlike fusion, which limits movement by joining vertebrae together, this procedure maintains natural motion in the neck. 2️⃣ Less Risk for Adjacent Damage: By keeping the spine mobile, there's less strain on nearby vertebrae, reducing the chance of further degeneration. 3️⃣ Quicker Recovery: Patients often experience faster recovery times with disc replacement, getting them back to their daily routines sooner. 4️⃣ Improved Mobility: Retaining neck mobility can enhance your overall quality of life and make daily activities easier. . . . . .

Understanding Cervical Decompression Surgery Cervical decompression surgery is a vital procedure to relieve nerve pressure and can take various forms depending on the level of compression. There are different kinds of decompression surgeries: 🔹 Laminectomy: The surgeon removes the entire lamina, some of the facet joint, and any thickened ligament. This approach provides significant decompression. 🔹 Laminotomy: A smaller portion of the lamina and ligaments is removed, typically on one side. This method reduces the risk of neck instability. 🔹 Foraminotomy: Focuses on removing bone around the neural foramen, where nerves exit to supply the upper limbs. Ideal for nerve compression caused by cervical discs, this technique involves a smaller incision and minimal muscle disruption. 🔹 Laminaplasty: Involves expanding the cervical spinal canal by cutting the lamina on one side and hinging it open, then securing it with a small plate. 🔹 Discectomy: The removal of a disc fragment that’s compressing a nerve root, whether from a bulge, herniation, or degeneration. 🔹 Microdiscectomy: A minimally invasive, keyhole approach to remove herniated disc parts, alleviating pain and other symptoms. These procedures are tailored to each patient's needs, offering relief from pain and improving quality of life. Always consult with a specialist to determine the best option for you. . . . . .

Robotic Assisted Lumbar Spinal Decompression Surgery   Spine injuries or degeneration (wear and tear) to your spine can cause pain. You might feel pain from compression in your spine that puts pressure on your spinal cord or nerves. Spinal decompression seeks to relieve the pressure to ease the pain. What conditions can robotic spinal decompression surgery treat?: • Bulging disks, when a cushion between vertebrae bulges out. • Degenerative disks, when the cushion between vertebrae starts wearing out. • Herniated disks, when part of a disk pushes on a nerve. • Pinched nerves, when a nerve gets pinched (compressed), causing numbness, pain or tingling. • Sciatica, damage to your sciatic nerve. • Spinal stenosis, narrowing of spaces in your spine due to bone spurs or bulging or herniated disks. . . . . . .

Understanding Vertebral Compression Fracture - Dr Irfan Malik
🤔 Understanding Vertebral Compression Fracture 🦴 Have you ever heard of a Vertebral Compression Fracture? 🤕 It's a common but often misunderstood spinal condition that can impact your quality of life, especially as you age. In this short video, we'll shed some light on this condition and what you need to know. 💡 📌 What is a Vertebral Compression Fracture? 🤷‍♂️ A Vertebral Compression Fracture occurs when one or more of the bones (vertebrae) in your spine collapse or compress. This can result from various factors, including osteoporosis, trauma, and aging. 🚨 Recognizing the Signs 📋 Symptoms can be subtle but should never be ignored. Look out for back pain, limited mobility, and even height loss. If you experience any of these, it's crucial to seek medical attention. 🔍 Diagnosis and Treatment 🏥 Proper diagnosis involves imaging tests like X-rays or MRI scans. Treatment options range from rest and pain management to, in severe cases, surgery. Your healthcare provider will recommend the best approach for your specific situation. 🌟 Prevention is Key 🌿 Prevention is always better than cure. Maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and bone-strengthening medications if necessary. These steps can help reduce your risk of developing Vertebral Compression Fractures. 👩‍⚕️ Consult a Professional 🩺 Remember, this video provides general information, but if you suspect you have a Vertebral Compression Fracture or have concerns about your spinal health, consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance. Stay informed about your health, and don't hesitate to share this video to spread awareness.

What Conditions Do Our Spinal Consultants Treat? - Mr Irfan Malik
The most common condition patients present with is debilitating back pain which can be quite challenging for the patients to manage. The most common cause is a degenerative spine due to disc prolapse, tear within the disc or spinal tumours. We need to first diagnose the cause of pain in a systemic way by assessing them clinically and a MRI scan. Majority of the cases there are no underlying serious problems and patient needs work place and life style modifications to manage the pain.
