Healing the Spine: Advanced Treatments for Spinal Injuries

The spine is the backbone of our mobility—literally. When it’s injured, the effects can be life-changing. From pain and stiffness to numbness and weakness, spinal injuries can disrupt even the simplest daily tasks. But thanks to advanced medical technology and specialised care, recovery is now more achievable than ever.

At Neurology and Pain Management Clinic (NPMC), Dr. Gautam Arora offers a compassionate and cutting-edge approach to treating spinal injuries. With a focus on restoring function and reducing pain, patients are given new hope and personalised plans for healing.

Understanding Spinal Injuries

Spinal injuries can result from trauma (like car accidents or falls), degenerative conditions (such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis), or underlying diseases (including multiple sclerosis or tumours). These injuries may affect the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), or lumbar (lower back) regions and sometimes impact the spinal cord itself.

Symptoms vary widely and may include:

• Persistent back or neck pain

• Radiating pain in the arms or legs

• Numbness or tingling

• Loss of balance or coordination

• Muscle weakness or even paralysis

Early diagnosis and intervention are critical in preventing long-term damage and improving quality of life.

Advanced Treatment Options at NPMC

Dr. Gautam Arora combines neurological expertise with the latest technology to design treatment plans tailored to each patient’s condition and goals. Some of the most effective options include:

1. Epidural Steroid Injections

These injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area, helping reduce pain and swelling around nerves. They are particularly helpful for conditions like disc herniation or spinal stenosis.

2. Nerve Blocks

A targeted way to interrupt pain signals, nerve blocks provide both relief and diagnostic insight. Patients often experience immediate benefits with minimal downtime.

3. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

For chronic back pain, RFA uses heat generated by radio waves to disable pain-causing nerves. This minimally invasive procedure can provide long-term relief when other treatments haven’t worked.

4. Spinal Cord Stimulation

In cases of severe, ongoing pain—especially after back surgery—this technique uses a device to deliver electrical impulses to the spinal cord, masking pain signals before they reach the brain.

5. Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

Dr. Arora works closely with physiotherapists to strengthen the spine, improve flexibility, and restore function. A customised rehab plan is a cornerstone of recovery.

Hope Beyond the Pain

Spinal injuries can feel overwhelming, but with the right care, improvement is always possible. At NPMC, Dr. Gautam Arora combines skill, compassion, and innovation to guide patients through every stage of their healing journey.
