Ortho & Neuro-Spine refers to the interdisciplinary field that combines orthopaedic and neurological expertise to diagnose, treat, and manage conditions affecting the spine. This collaboration is essential for addressing a wide range of spinal disorders, including injuries, degenerative diseases, deformities, and neurological issues. Here’s a detailed overview of this specialty, its components, and the various conditions treated.
Orthopaedic Spine Care focuses on the musculoskeletal aspects of spinal health, including bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles. Orthopaedic spine surgeons are trained to perform surgical interventions for structural problems in the spine, such as fractures, herniated discs, and scoliosis.
Neuro-Spine Care emphasises the nervous system's role in spinal health, focusing on conditions affecting the spinal cord and nerve roots. Neurosurgeons specialise in addressing neurological issues, such as spinal tumours, spinal stenosis, and injuries that compromise nerve function.
