Common Spinal Conditions

Clear guidance on frequent spine problems and when to seek care.

Key Takeaway

Early evaluation of common spine conditions helps families choose the right non-surgical or surgical care path.

Many patients experience back or neck symptoms that can be managed with timely evaluation. Understanding common spinal conditions helps families make informed decisions with Dr. Ankur Goswami.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Age-related disc wear that may cause stiffness, pain, or nerve irritation. Early assessment helps plan physiotherapy or surgical options when needed.

Disc Herniation / Sciatica

A disc fragment can press on nerves, causing radiating leg or arm pain, numbness, or weakness. Prompt review is important if symptoms progress.

Spinal Stenosis

Narrowing of the spinal canal that may cause walking difficulty, tingling, or pain. Treatment ranges from activity modification to decompression surgery.

Scoliosis & Deformity

Abnormal spinal curvature in children or adults. Growth-friendly and corrective techniques are tailored to age and curve severity.

Cervical & Lumbar Spondylosis

Wear-and-tear changes in the neck or lower back that can lead to chronic pain and stiffness. Lifestyle and targeted treatment improve comfort.

Trauma & Fractures

Injuries from falls or accidents need careful imaging and stabilization to protect the spinal cord and nerves.
