Our neurosurgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, physiatrists, pain physicians, psychologists, and other specialists have extensive experience treating even the most complex spinal conditions, providing our patients with access to a wide range of expertise to help them improve their pain and quality of life.

Diagnosis of Spinal Injury:

Your doctor will first perform a physical examination on you. They'll look for the source of your distress and pain. This includes evaluating your nerve function and muscle strength, as well as whether you feel pain when moving or touching the affected area. In addition, your doctor will inquire about your medical history and symptoms. They'll want to know when you first started experiencing symptoms and what activities make your pain worse. Your doctor will recommend imaging tests such as a CT scan, MRI scan, and X-ray to examine the bones and muscles of your spine and identify any damaged areas. Apart from this surgeons may take a small tissue sample for biopsy if cancer is suspected.

Spinal Injury treatment:

Depending on the specific condition or injury, our spine specialists may employ one or more treatments. Among the treatments we provide are:

• Bracing for the back
• Cancer treatment options include tumour removal surgery, radiation therapy, radiosurgery, and chemotherapy.
• Injuries can benefit from either ice or heat therapy.
