Dr. Naiju’s Health Centre’s Division for Disc Diseases addresses one of the most common causes of back pain—disc-related issues. Back pain can be debilitating, and it often stems from disc problems that require precise and evidence-based treatment. Our team is dedicated to identifying the root cause of your pain through comprehensive diagnostic protocols.
We offer a groundbreaking technological machine – Robospine Decompressive Therapy System, an advanced technology designed to relieve disc compression and restore nerve function. This innovative approach helps patients recover from disc-related pain by alleviating pressure on the nerves, promoting healing, and revitalizing their quality of life.
Our goal is to help patients regain their vitality and return to an active lifestyle, free from the limitations of chronic back pain. At Dr. Naiju’s Health Centre, we are committed to “Bringing You Back,” offering personalized care and cutting-edge therapies to ensure you reclaim what you’ve lost to disc related problems of the spine.
Disc problems usually happen when the soft discs between the vertebrae get strained a lot or start to wear out as we get older. When we have posture or sit for a long time it can hurt our discs. Sudden twisting movements or lifting things can also weaken our discs and make them bulge out. If we get hurt or are overweight it can put stress on our spine and make our discs wear out faster. For some people their family history, smoking and weak muscles around the spine can make their discs more prone to problems, which can cause pain, stiffness or nerve issues.
That is why it is important to choose the right Disc Diseases Treatment & Spinal Rehabilitation Kollam. This will not help with the pain but also fix the underlying problems with our spine. With the right Disc Diseases Treatment & Spinal Rehabilitation Kollam patients can make their spine more stable, flexible and strong which reduces the chance of disc problems coming back.
With Disc Diseases Treatment & Spinal Rehabilitation Kollam can help patients with disc problems Combined with expert pain management and rehabilitation, this approach helps patients return to daily activities with greater comfort and confidence
What is degenerative disk disease?
Degenerative disk disease is a process affecting the ‘wearing parts’ (disks) between your vertebrae.
Although it is called a disease, it is more appropriate to think of it as a normal degenerative process.
What are these ‘wearing parts’?
They are called spinal disks. They are the rubber washers that cushion and allow movement between the bones of the spine.
What happens when they degenerate and What problems can occur?
When they lose height and water content, they can cause problems by impinging on the vertebrae, irritating nerves, and causing other associated problemsThe problems most commonly associated with degenerative disk disease are:
Herniated disk (bulging or ruptured disk)
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
Spondylolisthesis (displaced vertebra)
Adult scoliosis (side-to-side bending of the spine)
Which spines are affected most often?
Your lower back (called the lumbar spine) is 90% likely to be affected (in the L1-5 segment).
Your neck (cervical spine) can also be a problem, especially for motion.
Degenerative disk disease sometimes affects more than one level or region in the spine, like the neck and lower back.
Who does it affect?
Disk degeneration is a normal part of the aging process. Everyone who reaches age 40 has some degenerative changes in their spine. However, only about 5% of people with degenerative disk disease have back pain due to it, since other compensatory mechanisms usually occur to allow motion without pain.
How do doctors describe degenerative disk disease?
Doctors prefer not to use the word disease at all, since it is really a normal degenerative process that occurs with aging. It is more correctly called degenerative disk disease or changes, rather than a ‘disease’.
