Back Pain and Spine Disorders

Back pain is one of the most common medical complaints across all age groups, affecting people’s ability to work, sleep, and enjoy daily life. It can range from a dull ache to sharp, disabling pain, and may arise from muscle strain, nerve issues, or spinal structural problems. At Primax Hospital, we take a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating spine-related disorders, offering both non-surgical and minimally invasive solutions to help patients find long-term relief.

What Causes Back Pain and Spine Disorders?

There are several reasons behind back pain, including:

– Muscle or ligament strain

– Bulging or herniated spinal discs

– Degenerative disc disease

– Osteoarthritis or spondylosis

– Spinal stenosis (narrowing of spinal canal)

– Scoliosis or abnormal spine curvature

– Sciatica (nerve compression causing radiating pain)

– Poor posture or prolonged sitting

Symptoms of Spine Disorders                              

Depending on the root cause, symptoms may include:

– Pain in the lower or upper back

– Radiating pain down the legs (sciatica)

– Numbness, tingling, or weakness in limbs

– Limited mobility or stiffness

– Difficulty standing or walking for long durations

– Pain that worsens at night or after sitting

Risk Factors for Developing Spine Problems

– Age (more common in individuals above 40)

– Obesity

– Sedentary lifestyle

– Smoking (affects spinal disc health)

– Occupational hazards (lifting, prolonged sitting)

– Previous spine injuries or trauma

Diagnosis at Primax Hospital

Our comprehensive diagnostic process includes:

– Clinical and neurological examination

– Digital X-ray of the spine

– MRI for detailed disc and nerve evaluation

– CT scan for bony spine structures

– Electromyography (EMG) for nerve function testing

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Primax focuses on conservative care first. Options include:

– Pain medications and anti-inflammatory drugs

– Muscle relaxants and nerve stabilizers

– Physiotherapy for posture correction and spinal strengthening

– Lumbar traction and mobilization techniques

– Epidural steroid injections (for nerve root inflammation)

– Lifestyle and ergonomic counseling

When Surgical Intervention is Considered

Surgery is considered only when all non-invasive methods fail and the patient continues to experience significant pain or disability. Common indications include:

– Severe disc herniation compressing nerves

– Persistent sciatica or neurological deficit

– Spinal instability or fractures

– Severe spinal stenosis

– Structural deformities like scoliosis needing correction

How to Protect Your Spine Daily

Incorporate the following habits to keep your back healthy:

– Practice correct sitting and standing posture

Osteoporosis and Weak Bones

Osteoporosis is a silent condition that gradually weakens the bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It affects millions of people worldwide, especially postmenopausal women and the elderly. At Primax Hospital, we emphasize early detection and preventive care for osteoporosis, helping our patients maintain strong bones and avoid fractures.

Understanding Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, even from minor bumps or sneezing. It is often called a ‘silent disease’ because there are typically no symptoms until a fracture occurs.

Causes and Risk Factors

Key factors that contribute to osteoporosis include:

– Ageing (especially after age 50)

– Hormonal changes (especially estrogen deficiency in women)

– Family history of osteoporosis

– Lack of calcium and vitamin D

– Sedentary lifestyle

– Smoking and excessive alcohol use

– Certain medications (e.g., steroids)

– Medical conditions like thyroid disorders or rheumatoid arthritis

Symptoms and Warning Signs

Osteoporosis may go unnoticed for years, but potential warning signs include:

– Back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra

– Loss of height over time

– Stooped posture or kyphosis

– Bone fractures that occur easily

– Brittle bones detected on imaging

Diagnosis of Osteoporosis at Primax

We follow a structured evaluation process:

– Bone Mineral Density (BMD) test using DEXA scan

– Blood tests to evaluate calcium, vitamin D, and hormone levels

– X-rays to detect existing fractures or spinal compression

– Risk factor assessment and fracture history review

Managing Osteoporosis and Weak Bones

Our approach combines medication, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle modifications:

– Calcium and vitamin D supplementation

– Bisphosphonates and other bone-strengthening medications

– Hormone-related therapy in postmenopausal women

– Weight-bearing and resistance exercises

– Balance and coordination training to prevent falls

Healthy Habits for Stronger Bones

Simple changes in daily habits can make a big difference:

– Include dairy, leafy greens, and fortified foods in your diet

– Get sunlight exposure for vitamin D synthesis

– Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption

– Maintain a healthy weight to reduce joint stress

– Stay active and avoid prolonged bed rest

Preventing Fragility Fractures

Preventive strategies include:

– Installing grab bars in bathrooms and stair rails

– Wearing non-slip footwear

– Avoiding rugs and obstacles on the floor

– Using walking aids if needed

– Scheduling regular bone check-ups

Why Early Diagnosis Matters    

Osteoporosis doesn’t show symptoms until it’s too late. That’s why early diagnosis is crucial, especially for women over 45, men over 50, and anyone with a family history of fractures. Screening can help begin treatment before complications arise.

Pediatric Bone and Joint Conditions

Children’s bones and joints are still developing, which makes their orthopaedic needs unique. From birth-related deformities to sports injuries and growth-related disorders, timely evaluation and treatment are crucial to ensure healthy development. At Primax Hospital, our orthopaedic team is trained to identify, manage, and monitor a range of bone and joint conditions affecting infants, children, and adolescents.

Why Pediatric Orthopaedics is Different

Children are not just small adults. Their growing bones have growth plates, flexible joints, and developing musculature, which respond differently to injuries and diseases. Delays in treatment can lead to long-term complications, affecting posture, gait, and quality of life.

Common Pediatric Bone and Joint Conditions

– Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (Clubfoot)

– Flat Feet or High Arches

– Genu Varum and Genu Valgum (Bowlegs and Knock Knees)

– Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

– Limb Length Discrepancy

– Scoliosis and Spinal Curvatures

– Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)

– Pediatric Fractures

– Growth Plate Injuries

– Postural Deformities (e.g., torticollis, kyphosis)

Signs and Symptoms Parents Should Not Ignore

– Child walking with a limp or unusual gait

– Frequent falls or balance issues

– Visible deformities in limbs or spine

– Persistent joint or muscle pain

– Uneven shoulder or hip height

– Delay in walking or crawling milestones

How We Diagnose Pediatric Ortho Conditions at Primax

Our child-friendly evaluation process includes:

– Detailed physical and developmental assessment

– Pediatric-specific X-rays for bones and joints

– Growth monitoring and limb measurements

– Ultrasound for hip screening in infants

– Referral to paediatric neurologists (if needed)

Management and Treatment Options               

– Observation and regular follow-ups (for mild conditions)

– Custom orthotic footwear and insoles

– Physiotherapy for postural or gait issues

– Bracing or casting (e.g., for clubfoot or scoliosis)

– Medication for inflammatory or autoimmune issues

– Surgical correction in severe or unresponsive cases

What Parents Can Do at Home

– Monitor your child’s posture and walking pattern

– Encourage regular physical activity

– Avoid heavy backpacks or incorrect footwear

– Attend all follow-up visits and screenings

– Ensure proper calcium and vitamin D intake

Supporting Children Emotionally

Children with visible deformities or limitations may feel self-conscious or frustrated. We encourage open dialogue with children, peer engagement, and a supportive school environment. Our team also offers guidance on helping children adapt to braces or mobility aids.
