Spine and Spinal Disorders

Spine surgery & therapy

Spine surgery is done not all the time; but when condition worsens and turns fatal. Spine surgery helps in restoring the spinal disorders like deformities, trauma, scoliosis, degenerative discs, spina stenosis. Global market for the spinal surgery equipment’s is estimated to be USD 13 billion in 2017 and expected to reach USD 16.6 billion by 2021.North America contributes larger share of market in surgical devices followed by Europe. Distinct surgical procedures are used to treat the spine disorders like Endoscopic surgery, Discectomy, laser surgery, Kyphoplasty, electrothermal therapy and spinal fusion. The market of spine surgery device in Europe is estimated to meet about $2993.6 million by 2019 therefore CAGR is about 7.3%, will be more in 2019.

Spinal therapy is done in the case of patients sustained with spine injury. Spine therapy includes the physical therapy, decompression therapy, Minimally invasive therapy. Partial restorative therapies are available for the spinal cord injury, rehabilitative, cellular and molecular are been tested. Combination of therapies are used to treat the spine injury to get the positive results.

Spine Surgery:

Spinal surgery involves various procedures designed to alleviate pain, stabilize the spine, decompress nerves, and restore function. Common types of spine surgery include:

Discectomy: Removal of a herniated or damaged spinal disc that is compressing nerves.

Spinal Fusion: Joining two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine and reduce pain.

Laminectomy: Removal of the lamina (back part of the vertebra) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.

Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty: Procedures to stabilize fractured vertebrae and relieve pain associated with vertebral compression fractures.

Artificial Disc Replacement: Surgical replacement of a damaged spinal disc with an artificial implant.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery: Utilizes small incisions and specialized instruments to perform surgery with less tissue damage and quicker recovery times.

Spine Therapy:

Spine therapy focuses on conservative treatments and rehabilitation techniques to manage spinal conditions and promote healing. It may include:

Physical Therapy: Exercises and manual techniques to improve spinal strength, flexibility, and range of motion.

Occupational Therapy: Helps individuals regain independence in daily activities through adaptive techniques and equipment.

Pain Management: Medications, injections (e.g., epidural steroid injections), and nerve blocks to alleviate pain and inflammation.

Chiropractic Care: Manipulative techniques to realign the spine and alleviate pain.
