  1. Spine Surgery In Chennai If you're suffering from spine disorders and seeking expert care in Chennai, Bharath Orthopaedics is the ideal choice. Dr. L. Bharath, a senior spine surgeon with 15 years of experience and international training, offers advanced treatments and compassionate care. What is Spine Surgery? The spine provides crucial structural support and houses vital nerves. When damage or dislocation occurs in the spinal discs, consulting an expert spine surgeon is essential for timely intervention. Spine surgery in Chennai requires both orthopedic and neurological expertise, alongside top-tier care, all of which are offered at Bharath Orthopaedics. We provide a comprehensive approach to spine surgery, including physiotherapy and recovery plans to ensure a swift return to health.

  2. Anatomy of a Spinal Disc An intervertebral disc is a ligament that connects vertebral bones, acting as a shock absorber between each vertebra. Each disc consists of two parts: the outer ring of fibers, called the annulus fibrosus, and the inner center, known as the nucleus pulposus. The annulus provides strength to connect vertebrae, while the nucleus absorbs shocks, ensuring proper spine function. Common Spinal Disc Issues Disc Injuries: Tearing or rupturing of the disc’s outer fibers can cause severe back pain. The annulus may heal with scar tissue but remains vulnerable to further damage. When the nucleus pushes out through a tear, it can lead to conditions like herniated or slipped discs, causing intense pain. A qualified spine specialist can accurately diagnose these conditions using various tests and imaging studies. Spondylosis: This degenerative disc disease refers to the gradual breakdown of discs between vertebrae, often managed with medications and physiotherapy. Slipped Disc: When the softer center of a disc bulges through the tougher exterior, it’s known as a prolapsed disc, requiring medical attention. Types of Spine Surgery There are several spine surgery options, each designed to address different spinal issues: 1.Discectomy: Removal of a damaged portion of the disc to relieve nerve pressure. 2.Spinal Fusion: Joining two or more vertebrae to treat instability, often using screws or plates. 3.Laminectomy: Removal of the vertebral lamina to relieve pressure from spinal stenosis. 4.Foraminotomy: Widening the space where spinal nerves exit, relieving nerve compression. 5.Artificial Disc Replacement: A newer technique that maintains spinal flexibility by inserting an artificial disc. 6.Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty: Procedures to stabilize fractures caused by osteoporosis. 7.Microdiscectomy: A minimally invasive technique to remove damaged disc portions. Treatment Options Without Surgery At Bharath Orthopaedics, we also offer non-surgical treatments: Physical Therapy: To strengthen the spine, improve mobility, and manage pain. Epidural Steroid Injections: These anti-inflammatory injections ease nerve pain caused by bulging or ruptured discs. Psychological Treatments: Coping strategies to manage chronic pain. Medication: Including anti-inflammatory drugs, nerve medications, and muscle relaxants.

  3. Benefits and Risks of Spine Surgery Spine surgery offers benefits such as pain relief, improved movement, and faster recovery. However, it also carries risks like infection, nerve damage, and potential spinal cord injury. It's crucial to discuss these factors with a qualified spine surgeon like Dr. L. Bharath to determine the best treatment plan based on your unique needs. Alternatives to Surgery For some conditions, non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, medications, lifestyle changes, and steroid injections may be effective. These are often explored before considering surgery, depending on the patient's specific condition. Conclusion Every spine surgery option has its advantages and potential risks. Consulting an experienced surgeon like Dr. L. Bharath at Bharath Orthopaedics ensures a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
