Cervical Stenosis is a disease which compresses the spinal canal and makes it too small for the spinal cord and nerve roots. This condition sometimes damages the spinal cord and leads to a condition called myleopathy.

Herniated disk or ruptured disc or bulging disc is recommended for surgery if the condition of the patient has worsened. In severe herniated disc, the bulged disc presses the nerves or muscles exaggeratively and the pain troubles the patient a lot.

The neck is the most important part of human anatomy and its significance cannot be denied.
When we talk about cervical stenosis, we basically refer to degrading bones or narrowing of the bones such as arthritis.

The main problem with the herniated disc surgery is its correct
diagnosis. With the help of MRI, you can not arrive at the correct and
final decision. Treating chronic pain is a very tricky thing.

Lumbar discectomy is performed as a
minimally-invasive procedure to remove the portion of the slipped
disc and fuse the vertebra joints. It is also called micro-endoscopic
surgery because a small incision of 3 cm to 5 cm is made to correct
the disorder of the spine. This kind of discectomy is very safe and
the patient can leave the hospital, the very next day of the
operation.

We all have curves in our bones and spines in the trunk, neck etc. They are essential for stability and balance of our body. Scoliosis is a very rare disease, some of the general causes of scoliosis are genetic causes, deformities from the time of birth, inequality in the length of the limbs, problems related to neuromuscles.

The tip of the spinal cord near the
skull is called the cervical spine. The cervical spine is made up of
7 vertebrae and there are eight pairs of cervical nerves in that
area.
