Spinal injuries — from road traffic accidents, falls from height or sports — can range from stable fractures that heal with a brace to unstable fractures with spinal cord injury that need emergency surgery. The first hours after injury matter enormously: correct immobilisation, rapid imaging and timely decompression can change the outcome.
Dr. Nilesh Jain manages the complete spectrum of spine trauma in Indore, including cervical, dorsal and lumbar fractures, with anterior and posterior fixation techniques and decompression of the injured spinal cord.
एक्सीडेंट के बाद रीढ़ की हड्डी की चोट में सही समय पर इलाज बहुत जरूरी है। हड्डी टूटने पर screws और rods से fixation किया जाता है ताकि मरीज जल्दी चलने-फिरने लगे।
Warning signs after a spinal injury
- Severe neck or back pain after an accident or fall
- Weakness or inability to move the arms or legs
- Numbness, tingling or loss of sensation below the injury
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
- Difficulty breathing after a neck injury
- Visible deformity of the spine
Treatment of spine injury
Stable fractures without nerve compression are treated with bracing, pain control and graded mobilisation. Unstable fractures, or any fracture compressing the spinal cord, need surgical decompression and stabilisation with screws and rods — performed early to give the cord its best chance of recovery.
Surgery restores spinal alignment and stability so that the patient can be mobilised quickly and rehabilitation can begin. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are planned hand-in-hand with surgical care.
