Degenerative spine disease is a gradually progressing condition that usually comes with the natural wear and tear of age. At Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, we understand that this can feel like a slow thief stealing comfort and ease. Discs lose their cushion-like quality, joints may become stiff, and small bony growths called spurs begin to form, all conspiring to pinch nerves or restrict motion.
Pain, stiffness, or numbness may start mildly but can grow persistent. Your spine’s structure changes bit by bit, sometimes causing difficulty in daily tasks. Here, the approach balances facts with compassion. Initial steps include thorough assessments, clinical exams, and imaging, such as MRI scans, to understand your unique condition.
Treatment often begins conservatively:
Pain relief medication
Physiotherapy focusing on muscle strength and flexibility
Lifestyle advice covering posture and ergonomics
When symptoms intensify or create significant disability, advanced options come into play. Minimally invasive surgeries like spinal fusion or disc replacement may be recommended to stabilise the area and relieve pressure. Our surgeons employ cutting-edge technology to target affected areas precisely, minimising recovery time.
Throughout treatment, frequent monitoring and adjustments ensure your recovery journey feels personal and steady. We don’t rush healing but encourage patience, hope, and active participation. Your comfort and independence are paramount, physically and emotionally.
