Spine surgery has seen it all !!!

In our initial days of practice, we used to see predominantly elderly people with a backache coming to a spine clinic. But to our surprise, we see lots of young people presenting to the clinic these days. This changing trend we see is because of lifestyle modifications happening in our current generation.
By lifestyle modifications I mean
a. Change in the food habits which encompass fast food and packed food culture. This saves few seconds but deprives our body of essential nutrients and exposes it to harmful preservatives which have carcinogenic potential.
b. Lack of exercises, no sunlight exposure, whole day sitting job, bad postures etc..

NOW WE AS SPINE SPECIALISTS HAVE TO DIVIDE TREATMENT UNDER TWO HEADINGS

•  PREVENTIVE: To prevent spine problems in young individuals by educating them by conducting lectures, workshops and symposium

• THERAPEUTIC: To treat patients who have already got spinal problems

Back pain is the most common reason people self-treat and seeks medical advice. It is studied to affect approximately three in four individual. 
als during their lifetime. When we talk about “back pain” we mean pain that originates in the spine anywhere between the upper and lower back.
Treatment for back pain varies from medicines, physiotherapy, spinal injections to surgery. Majority of the patients get benefitted with non-operative treatment. Only a few of them require surgery.

Sancheti spine department offers a wide range of treatment varying from state of art physio, ergonomics training, postural correction and modified yoga classes, pain management clinic to a complete surgical solutions in all areas of spine.
