01Scoliosis correction
Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways. It can vary widely in severity and treatment needs. Treatment options depend on the patient’s age, curve progression, and degree of spinal curvature.
02Spinal cord stimulator (SCS)
We offer spinal cord stimulator (SCS) an advanced treatment option for managing chronic pain. This device works by sending mild electrical signals to the spinal cord to interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, offering relief without relying on medication.
03Spinal fusion
Spinal fusion is a surgery to stabilise and correct problems in the spine, often used for conditions like scoliosis, disc degeneration, fractures, or deformities. The procedure joins two or more vertebrae together to stop movement at an unstable or painful area, which can reduce pain and improve stability.
04Spinal injury
A spinal injury refers to damage to the spinal cord or surrounding structures, often caused by trauma from accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Depending on the location and severity of the injury, it can affect movement, sensation, and bodily functions below the injury site.
Early medical care is essential for spinal injuries to improve recovery outcomes and reduce long-term effects.
If you smoke, your surgeon may refuse to operate unless you can refrain from smoking before and during the healing phase of your procedure. Research has proven that smoking delays bone healing significantly.
