adminBest Neurosurgeon in Bangalore, Back Pain Treatment in Bangalore, Neurowellness No Comments

Overview:

If you’ve had back pain for a long time, you might be wondering if spine surgery is your only option for relief. Surgery is sometimes actually the only option. There is, however, some good news. Non-surgical treatments, also known as non-surgical conservative therapies, can treat the vast majority of back problems.

Ageing, poor body mechanics, trauma and structural abnormalities can all cause damage to your spine, resulting in back pain as well as other symptoms like leg pain, numbness and leg weakness. Chronic back pain is a condition that is usually diagnosed and treated by a team of medical professionals especially in Neuro Wellness services centre is your best choice for  treatment of  brain and spine related problems. Consider seeking the advice of several spine specialists before deciding on surgery.

This time and effort invested in gathering information will enable you to make an informed treatment decision that will best support your lifestyle and desired level of physical activity.

Type of Spine SurgeryWhen It’s DoneRecovery TimeKey Benefit
DiscectomyHerniated disc removal2–4 weeksPain relief, mobility restored
LaminectomySpinal stenosis3–6 weeksNerve pressure relief
Spinal FusionInstability, fractures6–12 weeksStronger, stable spine
MISS (Minimally Invasive)Disc prolapse, stenosis2–3 weeksLess pain, faster recovery

What about non-surgical, conservative treatment?

Before considering surgery for any non-emergency spinal injury, a trial of non-operative treatment, such as physical therapy, pain medication, preferably an anti-inflammatory or bracing should be conducted. The duration of a conservative treatment trial varies, but it usually lasts six weeks to six months.

If non-surgical treatments such as medications and physical therapy fail to relieve symptoms, spine surgery may be recommended. Surgery is considered only in cases where the exact source of pain can be identified, such as herniated disc, spinal stenosis, spinal Listhesis and spinal tumour.

How can you tell if you need spine surgery?

When someone has symptoms in their extremities, they are recommended to see their primary care physician first. If a person has low back or neck pain, they should be monitored over time and encourage them to keep up with good, consistent physical activity to see if the problem goes away. If physical activity isn’t working, try an over-the-counter remedy.

Many patients with spinal issues can be treated without surgery. Prior to considering surgery, physical therapy, home exercises, medication and in some cases, spinal  epidural injections are often recommended. If the problem still persists, surgery may be a viable option.

For example, if a patient’s neurogenic pain in the extremities is severe and non-surgical treatment has failed, surgical intervention is the best option. If non-surgical treatment fails to relieve symptoms related to spinal cord or nerve root compression, such as significant weakness in an arm, leg or limb, surgery is recommended.

Spine Surgery – imaging:

X rays- will give information about the bone quality, decided dic space, slip vertebra, ,scoliosis

MRI – will show disc prolapse, spinal stenosis, spinal tumours and adjacent  structures, foraminal narrowing etc . With this surgeon can assess the requirement of surgery.

CT SCAN- clearly show bone density, soft tissue relations

DEXA SCAN shows degree of osteoporosis – so surgeon can do spine surgery if needed and start the treatment for osteoporosis simultaneously.

What should you look for in good spine surgeons in Bangalore?

A good surgeon is committed to providing excellent patient care and outcomes and is willing to learn new approaches and techniques while honing existing ones. Spine surgeons in Bangalore should also be a good communicator who is willing to spend time explaining about the exact anatomical problem in patients words  and  why they are performing surgery and the treatment options available.

The following conditions are fulfilled by the specialised doctors of NeuroWellness care center. They provide the best treatment and make the patient feel comfortable with full care and compassion.

Surgical approaches:

 The spine can be accessed from a variety of angles, whether through open surgery or MISS. These are known as surgical approaches and they are described below:

• Anterior approach- as the name says, the surgeon approaches the spine from the front of your body, neck and through the abdomen.
• Posterior approach- an incision is made in your back for posterior approach most commonly.
• Lateral approach- the pathway to your spine runs through the side.

Implants used in spine surgery

Titanium – MRI compatible

PEEK-MRI compatible

Steel – now a days hardly any surgeon uses

Types of spine surgery:

• Microdiscetomy- advised for disc prolapse. It is the most common spine surgery done.
• Laminectomy, foraminotomy and decompression
• TLIF(trans foraminal lumbar interbody fusion)

• ACDF (anterior cervical microdiscetomy and fusion)
• Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty

• PLIF- posterior lumbar interbody fusion
• Artificial disk replacement

Spine surgery- what is learnt!

• From  past 2 decades due to advances in medical science- the complications are very minimal.
• Neuromicroscope- provides magnifications of small nerve structures, good illuminations of structures so surgeon can see clearly what is being operated.
• Microinstruments- for fine dissection.
• Highspeed drills.
• Neuro-navigation
• with  all these the neurological deficits are VERY RARE- like CSF leak, nerve root injury , cord injury and motor weakness infections, Implant failure.

Summary:

Commonly most spine problems are managed by conservative approach and medical treatment.  Spine surgery is when medical treatment fails to benefit. Spine surgery is advancing, it is becoming much safer in recent years due state of art and excellent outcome after spine surgery from past decade.

Preventing major stroke in high grade carotid artery stenosis: A case report

Dr. Ganesh Veerabhadraiah is a dedicated Neurosurgeon in Bangalore having 17 years of rich experience in the held of Brain, Spine and Neuroendovascular surgery. His passion is micro neurosurgery and cerebrovascular and endovascular.  He is rigorously working round-the-clock with an intention to provide quality neuro care for all the needy through his excellence.

significant despite medical therapy. Early diagnosis plays a vital role in suffering from hypoperfusion.

Stenting plays an important role in re establishing the brain blood flow in case of high grade carotid stenosis refractory to medical treatment and preventing major stroke.

CASE REPORT

Introduction:

Celebral Hypoperfusion is a condition happens due to insufficient supply of blood and oxygen to the brain. Intracranial Atherosclerosis (ICAD) is a pathological condition where there is a narrowing of arteries due to accumulation of cholesterol plaque arterial wall. It causes reduced blood supply to brain which leads to cerebral hypoperfusion and stroke.

Case details:

A 65 year old man was brought to  with chief complaints of weakness in the right side of the body along with frequent fainting attacks and he had a past history of diabetes and hypertension. He was diagnosed to have reduced blood supply to the left side of the brain. It was the result of the narrowing of the channels (arteries) that connect the heart to the brain.

MRI scan of the brain with perfusion scan showed that the patient had an inadequate flow of blood in the brain and narrowing of carotid artery at two places due to which he was at a high risk of getting major stroke and which should have caused even death. Owing to the severity of the condition, neurosurgeon recommended the patient to undergo intracranial stenting. The stenting helped in managing and normalising the blood flow to the brain. We did pinhole surgery / endovascular surgery to approach the brain vessels. through small puncture of femoral artery in the thigh. As he had narrow blood vessels in the neck and brain. Both these problems were addressed at the same time through stenting. The patient was suffering from cerebral hypoperfusion syndrome due to intracranial severe atherosclerosis.

high-grade-stenosis

The team of neurosurgeon, neurologist, endovascular surgeon successfully treated by intracranial stenting at two places of brain vessels at the same time on the patient to reduce the risk of major stroke. Fortunately, the patient. withstood the entire procedure and there were no complications post. procedure. The patient is doing well now.

Discussion:

Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability, Intracranial stenosis is the narrowing of

major Intracranial arteries due to the build-up of atherosclerotic plaque. The standard medical therapy for patients with intracranial stenosis includes the use of

antithrombotics, statins, antihypertensives and risk factor control .The risk of recurrent stroke in patients with high-grade intracranial stenosis.

spondylolisthesis

What is spondylolisthesis?

adminBest Neurosurgeon in Bangalore, Advanced Neurosurgery in Bangalore, Best spine surgeon in Bangalore No Comments

Lower back pain may be caused by spondylolisthesis, a spinal disorder. It happens when one of your vertebrae or spine bones slips out of place and lands on the vertebra below it. Nonsurgical treatment can usually alleviate your problems. In most cases, surgery for severe grade spondylolisthesis is effective.

What is spondylolisthesis?

Spondylolsthesis is a condition in which the vertebrae move more than they should, resulting in spine instability. A vertebra slips out of place and lands on the one below it. There will be pars interarticularis defect a bone connecting upper and lower facet. It could exert pressure on a nerve, resulting in lower back or leg pain.

The Greek words spondylos, which means “spine” or “vertebra” and listhesis, which means “slipping, sliding or moving” are combined to form spondylolisthesis (pronounced sphon-di-low-less-THEE-sis).

Types of spondylolisthesis:

  •  Degenerative spondylolisthesis: the most prevalent kind is degenerative spondylolisthesis, which occurs as a result of ageing.
  • Isthmic spondylolisthesis: as a result of spondylolisthesis, isthmic spondylolistheis develops. The bone is weakened by the crack or fracture.
  • Congenital spondylolisthesis: when a baby’s spine does not form properly before birth, this is known as congenital spondylolisthesis. The person’s vertebrae are misaligned, putting them at risk for slippage later in life.
  • Less common types of spondylolisthesis are:
  1. Traumatic spondylolisthesis: it occurs when the vertebrae slip as a result of an injury.
  2. Pathological spondylolisthesis: when a disease, such as osteoporosis, or a tumour, develops pathological spondylolisthesis.
  3. Post surgical spondylolisthesis: slippage as a result of spinal surgery is known as post-surgical spondylolisthesis.

How common is spondylolisthesis?

Spondylolisthesis and spondylolysis affect approximately 4% to 6% of the adult population. It is easy to go years without realising you have spondylolisthesis because you do not have any symptoms.

Degenerative spondylolisthesis (which happens as a result of ageing and wear and tear of the spine) is more common in women than in men after the age of 50.

Isthmic spondylolisthesis (typically induced by spondylolysis) is one of the most common reasons for back pain in teenagers.

Causes of spondylolisthesis:

One of the most common causes of spondylolisthesis in young athletes is overextending the spine. Genetics could also have a role. Some people are born with spinal bones that are thinner than others. Wear and tear on the spine and discs (the cushions between the vertebrae) can develop this problem in older persons.

What are the symptoms of spondylolisthesis?

You might not notice any signs or symptoms of spondylolisthesis. Some people are unaware that they have the disease. If you do experience symptoms, the most common one is lower back ache. The discomfort may spread to the buttocks and thighs. You may also experience:

  • Back pain/leg pain aggravated by activity- working at home or bending and picking up object.
  • Stiffness in the back
  • Spasms in the hamstring muscle (muscles in the back of the thighs)
  • Walking or standing for long periods of time is difficult
  • When leaning over, there is pain
  • Numbness, tingling or weakness in the foot.

How is spondylolisthesis diagnosed?

Your doctor will conduct a physical examination and inquire about your symptoms. An imaging/scan will very certainly be required to confirm the diagnosis.

What imaging tests will be needed?

  • A spinal X ray allows doctors to see if a vertebrae is misaligned.
  • To see the spine in greater detail or to see soft tissue like discs and nerves, a CT scan or an MRI scan may be required.

How to reduce the risk of spondylolisthesis?

You can lower your chance of spondylolisthesis by doing the following:

  • Regularly exercise your back and abdominal muscles to keep them strong
  • Maintain a healthy body mass index (BMI). Weight gain puts additional strain on your lower back
  • To keep your bones well nourished and robust, eat a well balanced diet.

What is the outlook for people with spondylolisthesis?

 The success rate of surgery is very high. Spondylolisthesis surgery patients typically return to an active lifestyle after a few months following surgery. Following surgery, you will almost certainly require therapy to help you regain full function.

Summary:

Spondylolisthesis is one of the  common cause of back pain /discomfort, however it is not life threatening. There are a variety of therapists available, ranging from medicine to physical therapy to spinal surgery. If you are experiencing low back discomfort or finding it difficult to walk, stand, or bend over, consult the Neuro Wellness Care Center, they will provide the best and cost friendly Back Pain Treatment in Bangalore.

What you should know about disc prolapse at neck cervical PIVD

Neck Cervical PIVD Causes, Symptoms & Treatment Explained by Experts (2025)

adminSpine, Best Neurosurgeon in Bangalore 3 Comments

When you feel discomfort for long period in your neck or upper back that you have never felt before, you might have a herniated cervical disc.

What Is Cervical Disc Prolapse (PIVD)?

A brief 40–60-word intro defining PIVD and its effect on cervical nerves.
Example:

Cervical disc prolapse (PIVD) occurs when the soft disc between your neck bones slips or bulges, pressing on nearby nerves and causing neck and arm pain.

TypeLevelCommon SymptomsTreatment
MildC4–C5Neck stiffness, tinglingRest, medication
ModerateC5–C6Radiating arm painPhysiotherapy
SevereC6–C7Numbness, weaknessSurgery / Endoscopy

While it can sound worrying, it is not an unusual health condition as you age. In fact, you might not even know you have one if you do not have any symptoms.

“Cervical PIVD can occur due to poor posture, aging, or trauma. Early diagnosis prevents chronic nerve damage.” – Dr. Ganesh Veerabhadraiah

Spine and cervical discs:

 It will help if you first understand your spine, how it is built and where your cervical discs are located.

Vertebrae are the bones that make up your spinal column. They keep you on your feet. They also protect and surround your spinal cord, which resembles a tube with a fluid-filled centre. It runs from the top of your head to the bottom of your spine.

Discs are spongy cushions that sit between the vertebrae. They serve as shock absorbers for your everyday motions, as well as leaping, jogging and other activities that cause your body to wear out.

From top to bottom, your spine is divided into three primary segments:

• Cervical
• Thoracic
• Lumbar

The cervical vertebrae are the top seven vertebrae in your spine. Nerves that connect your arms, hands and upper body are found in the cervical portion of your spinal cord.

The cervical vertebrae are cushioned by cervical discs. They also allow you to bend and twist your neck and back by connecting the vertebrae to one another.

Meaning of ‘herniated’:

A gel-like substance is seen in the core of the discs between the vertebrae. A disk’s outer layer is made up of fibrous cartilage, which keeps the gel confined.

The gel can poke out if the outer section tears or cracks. This is what it means for a disc to be herniated.

A “ruptured disc” or a “slipped disc” is another name for a herniated disc. It is similar to a jelly doughnut with the filling squirted out.

How does a cervical disc herniate?

 The cervical spine has six intervertebral discs. Each cervical disc cushions the vertebral bodies and helps disperse loads from the neck and head above by sitting between neighbouring vertebrae (one above and one below). A disc is made up of two basic components:

• Annulus fibrosus: it is a type of fibrosus. The disc’s outer layer is made up of concentric collagen fibres, making it robust enough to protect the disc’s fragile inner layer. The annulus fibrosus aids in the handling of large loads and shock absorption in the spine.
• Nucleus pulposus: the inside of the annulus fibrosus is made up of a loose network of fibres suspended in microprotein gel and protected by the annulus fibrosus. The nucleus pulposus adds to the cushioning and flexibility of the movements.
• most common cervical disc to herniate is C5C6 followed by C6C7.

Causes of herniated cervical disc:

It can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of a herniated cervical disc. It usually starts slowly and has no obvious cause. However, the reason can occasionally be narrowed down to:

• Age: because of wear and strain, a disc may be more prone to herniation. Our discs contain a lot of water when we are young. However, as we age, the amount of water content reduces. When the discs have less water in them, they become less flexible. As a result, the risk of it rupturing or herniating increases when you move, twist or turn. They can rupture with less force in older people.
• Genetics: herniated discs can also be passed down through families
• Movement: one can be cause by sudden, jarring motions
• Sudden strain: a disc can be damaged if you lift a large object or turn or rotate your upper body too quickly

Symptoms of herniated cervical disc:

One of the most prevalent reasons for neck pain is herniated cervical disc. Other symptoms that may occur if the disc is pressing on a nerve root include:

• Numbness or tingling in the shoulder or arm, which may extend to the fingers
• A Hand or arm that is weak .

If it presses against your spinal cord, you may experience more severe symptoms such as:

• Walking with stumbling or awkwardly
• Tingling or a jolting sensation travelling down your spine and into your legs
• Problems with fine motor skills when using your hands and arms
• Loss of coordination and balance.

Summary:

Herniated discs are frequent ,treatment is based on degree of herniation and clinical presentation of patients. Herniated discs are more common in people after 50 year, but it can occur in 30s also.

Top 10 essential tips for a healthy spine

Top 10 essential tips for a healthy spine

adminBest spine surgeon in Bangalore, back pain treatment, Bangalore Spine Specialist Clinic, Best Neurosurgeon in Bangalore No Comments

Back discomfort affects millions of people every day. Beyond the pain, this type of disease can reduce your quality of life by forcing you to miss work and social events you enjoy, as well as preventing you from performing even ordinary, everyday duties.

According to National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, low back pain is the largest cause of work-related disability (NINDS)

Taking care of your spine- your back and neck- now will reduce your chances of suffering from back discomfort later.

Many of the efforts you can take to improve your spine’s overall health are as simple as improving your body mechanics or how you move and hold yourself while performing regular jobs and activities.

Back pain

Back pain is a prominent cause of disability worldwide, and it is one of the most common reasons people visit the doctor or miss work.

Fortunately, you may take steps to prevent or alleviate most instances of back discomfort. If prevention fails, basic home treatment and appropriate body mechanics can frequently cure your back and keep it functional within a few weeks. Back pain is rarely treated with surgery.

Symptoms of back pain:

Back pain can be anything from a dull ache in the muscles to a shooting, pulling or stabbing pain.

Furthermore, pain may travel down your leg or worsen when you bend, twist, lift, stand or walk.

When do you see a doctor?

 Most back pain improves over time with self care and home treatment, usually within a few weeks. You see a doctor when:

  • Your back pain has been going on for a few weeks
  • Back pain is intense and does not get any better with rest
  • It spreads down one or both legs, particularly if discomfort is felt below the knee
  • One or both legs experience weakness, numbness or tingling
  • It is followed with an inexplicable decrease of weight

Back discomfort might occasionally indicate a significant medical concern. If you have back discomfort, seek medical attention right away or if you are from Bangalore then visit a Bangalore Spine Specialist Clinic for the best Back Pain Treatment in Bangalore:

  • New bowel or bladder problems occur as a result of this medication
  • Is accompanied by a high temperature
  • After a fall, hit to the back or another injury

Causes of back pain:

 Back pain frequently occurs without a known reason that your doctor can determine through a test or imaging study. Back discomfort is usually associated with the following conditions:

  • Strain of a muscle or ligament

 Back muscles and ligaments can be strained by repeated heavy lifting or a sudden uncomfortable movement. Constant tension on your back might produce severe muscle spasms if you are in poor physical shape.

  • Discs that have bulged or ruptured

 Discs act as cushions between your spine’s bones (vertebrae). A disc’s soft substance can expand or rupture, putting pressure on a nerve. A bulging or ruptured disc, on the other hand, can cause no back pain. Disc disease is frequently discovered by chance when you receive spine X-rays for another cause.

 The lower back can be affected by osteoarthritis. In some circumstances, arthritis in the spine can cause spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the area around the spinal cord.

  • Osteoporosis

Your spine’s vertebrae can develop painful fractures if your bones become porous and brittle.

  •  Risk factors

 Back discomfort can affect anyone, including toddlers and teenagers. These  variable may increase your chances of having back pain:

  • Age : Back discomfort becomes increasingly common as you age, beginning around the age of 30 or 40.
  • Lack of physical activity: Back discomfort can be caused by weak, underused muscles in the back and abdomen.
  • A lot of weight: Your back is put under additional strain if you are overweight.
  • Diseases: Arthritis is a disease that affects people of all ages.
  • Lifting done incorrectly: Back pain can result from using your back instead of your legs.
  • Psychological problems: Back pain appears to be more common in people who suffer from depression and anxiety.
  • Smoking: Back pain is more common in smokers. This could be due to the fact that smoking causes increased coughing, which can lead to herniated discs. Smoking can also reduce blood flow to the spine, increasing the risk of a stroke.

Top 10 essential tips for a healthy spine:

 1. Examine your exercise regimen

 A good workout routine aids in the maintenance of a healthy spine. Exercise can also aid in the rehabilitation of injuries to the spine.

You no longer need to be a professional athlete with a  complicated exercise regimen to maintain a healthy spine. It is enough to undertake a simple exercise regimen that strengthens and stretches your back, abdominal muscles and hamstrings.

These basic workouts will help in the delivery of nutrients to your soft tissues and spinal discs as well as maintaining the health of your spinal discs, muscles, joints and ligaments. Stretching and strengthening aid in the degeneration of spine.

2. Appropriate lifting

Lifting heavy objects incorrectly can weaken your lower back muscles, resulting in a back injury and unpleasant muscular strains.

When lifting something heavy if your body is not properly positioned, you risk locking your spinal joint or rupturing your spinal discs.

Lifting correctly entails more than just bending your knees. When lifting a big object, make sure you lead with your hips rather than your back.

Put your chest forward and rely on your abdominal muscles. These simple tips will help you avoid pulling a muscle in your spine, which may be very painful.

3. Verify your posture

 Do you find yourself slouching at work or while sitting on the couch at home? Many people do not even realise they have bad posture.

If you look at a photo of a spine, you will notice that it curves naturally. It is also critical that your sitting posture helps to sustain these curves.

spine

When your posture goes against the normal curve of your spine, you risk damaging the sensitive nerves in your spine.

First, stretch and walk whenever you can, even if it is only for a few minutes. Make sure your desk and office chair are in good shape.

Get a stand up desk to work for a few hours or spend some time sitting on an exercise ball. These solutions are suitable for those who have the ability to choose.

4. Get massage therapy for your body

Massage treatment has a number of advantages. It’s a good way to efficiently treat back problems and pain in specific situations.

Massage treatment promotes blood circulation, relieves sore muscles in the spine and enhances endorphin levels in the spine, to name a few benefits. Massage therapy can even assist you in sleeping better.

5. Walking on a regular basis result in a healthy spine

Walking on a regular basis has a number of advantages. Walking helps to strengthen your core, nourish your spine and keep your body upright. It also strengthens bone structure and enhances flexibility.

Before starting a walking routine, see your doctor.

A Neurosurgeon will advise you on how long you should walk.

6. Heat therapy can relieve pain

 It is no secret that heat relaxes muscles. When heat is  applied it encourages blood flow. This gives your muscles the nourishment that your spine requires.

Heat therapy relieves discomfort in your spine’s joints and muscles. It has also been reported to help with muscle spasms.

There are a variety of heat therapy items available. Consider using a heating pad or a heat wrap that emits low, continuous heat over a period of many hours.

7. The right way to sleep

Creating a sleep plan that is suited for your body to get the best benefits for a healthy spine.

Get a pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck. Everyone is unique. As a result, a cushion that suits one individual may not suit another. The type of sleeping pillow you require is also determined by your sleeping posture.

8. Join a yoga meditation course

Meditation has been found in studies to be an effective treatment for persistent back pain. Many patients with persistent back pain have found relief through yoga, Tai Chi and mindful meditation.

Breathing and stretching exercises appear to improve the health of the spine. What matters most is that you practice on a regular basis.

9. Eat well and keep a healthy weight

The importance of a good diet in maintaining a healthy spine cannot be overstated. Preventing spinal problems like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis can be as simple as eating meals high in calcium and containing critical nutrients and vitamins

10. Quit smoking

It reduces the toxic and harmful substances load in the body, reduces the  vessel narrowing and blood supply to spine.  Quiting smoke also reduces cough and reduces intra spinal pressure.

7 Tips to Heal Your Headache

adminBest Neurosurgeon in Bangalore, Headache specialist doctor near me, Neurowellness No Comments

If you are suffering from headache and looking to heal with Headache Specialist in Bangalore then you are on the right page. In this article, you will get 7 tips to heal your headache but before we jump to tips let’s understand some important information about the headache.

How Medical Define Headache?

The medical definition of “headache” is a pain in the head, which is located in the front, side, back of the head, and neck.

Let me quote the definition of Wikipedia –

“Headache is the symptom of pain in the face, head, or neck. It can occur as migraine, tension-type headache, or cluster headache. There is an increased risk of depression in those with severe headaches. Headaches can occur as a result of many conditions.”

Headache

Headache is classified mainly into two categories: Primary and secondary.

A primary headache is usually benign and longstanding. Common primary headaches are migraine and tension-type headache. They have typical features – Migraine, tends to be pulsating in character, affecting one side of the head, associated with nausea, disabling in severity and it usually lasts between 3 hours and 3 days.

7-Tips-to-cure-your-headach

Secondary Headache: This may be caused by problems elsewhere in the head or neck. Some of these are not harmful, such as cervicogenic headache (pain arising from the neck muscles). Medication overuse headache may occur in those using excessive analgesics or other medication for a headache.

Serious causes of secondary headache include brain tumours, stroke and brain hemorrhage. Patients having a very severe headache, thunderclap headache or sudden change in the pattern of long duration headache or having associated symptoms like vision loss, frequent vomiting, seizures and drowsiness may have a serious disease. This type of headache requires a brain scan (CT or MRI Scan). It may also require surgery depending on the pathology. Brain tumour biopsy or surgery may be required to know the tissue diagnosis or to relieve the headache and other associated neurological symptoms.

Why do we get headaches?

There are perceptions that headaches are a pain that originate from the brain. By the way, that is not the case because while the brain makes us a sense of pain in different parts of our bodies, it is unable to feel any pain itself.

So the pain we feel when we get a headache usually initiates from the nerves, blood vessels, and muscles that cover our head and neck.

7-Tips-to-cure-your-headach

Actually, we feel pain when these muscles or blood vessels expand, contract, or go through other changes that activate the nerves around them to send a pain signal to the brain. If you wish to know more please visit a Headache Specialist in Bangalore.

What causes headaches?

There are many different reasons of headaches. Some of the most common triggers include stress, dehydration, computer or TV fatigue, loud music, smoking, alcohol, caffeine, hunger, sleeplessness and eye strain. Each type of common headache pain varies in intensity, location, for example, the top, back, or front of the head, and duration.

Sometimes hormonal changes could trigger a headache—for example, the dreaded period headache! Some kinds of headaches, like migraines, could also be hereditary which can be treated by a Best doctor for migraine in Bangalore. Stress and anxiety may trigger some people’s headaches, and some seem to have no apparent cause.

7 Tips to Heal Your Headache

Now that you are aware of Headache and its causes here you get 7 Tips to Heal Your Headache

1. Take Analgesic/pain killer after consulting the Neurosurgeon in Bangalore

In this article, all tips belong to writer experience and written for sharing information but please consult a Neurosurgeon in Bangalore before taking pain medications including the most commonly used paracetamol. Let me help you understand about paracetamol – It is very common pain reliever medicine but it has some side effects such as stomach upset – nausea and vomiting over usage can cause liver damage.

medicine

Next common medicine used by the common man is aspirin. People with stomach ulcers or on blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin) should not take aspirin. Alcohol use increases the risk of bleeding. People older than 60 years and those with kidney problems should not take aspirin unless advised by their Headache Specialist in Bangalore.

2. Try Heating Pad or Hot Compress

7 Key Tips for Selecting the Best Neurosurgeon in Bangalore

  1. 1. Check the Hospital’s Reputation

    Begin by researching the hospitals associated with the neurosurgeon. Leading hospitals, often referred to as spine and brain clinics, typically feature state-of-the-art facilities, advanced diagnostic tools like digital spine analysis, and multidisciplinary teams that provide comprehensive care.

    2. Verify the Surgeon’s Credentials

    Ensure the neurosurgeon holds relevant certifications and has affiliations with reputed medical boards. Qualifications from esteemed institutions and memberships in recognized professional organizations are strong indicators of credibility.

    3. Evaluate Their Experience

    Experience plays a pivotal role in neurosurgery. Surgeons with extensive experience in performing intricate procedures, such as keyhole spine surgery or minimally invasive brain surgeries, are better equipped to handle complex cases. Their association with prominent clinics adds to their reliability.

    4. Consider Minimally Invasive Options

    Many top neurosurgeons now specialize in minimally invasive procedures, such as endoscopic spine surgery, which offer reduced recovery times and less discomfort. Discuss with your doctor whether these innovative options are suitable for your condition.

    5. Read Patient Reviews

    Online reviews and testimonials from former patients provide valuable insights into a neurosurgeon’s expertise, communication skills, and success rates. Reviews can also highlight aspects like clinic ambiance and staff professionalism.

    6. Consult for a Second Opinion

    It’s always wise to seek a second opinion if you have any doubts. Consulting another specialist helps validate treatment recommendations and ensures you’ve explored all viable options.

    7. Explore Online Consultations

    If scheduling or mobility is a challenge, consider online video consultations. They allow you to assess the neurosurgeon’s approach and gain initial insights into your condition before committing to in-person treatment.

SAFE SPINE - MISS (Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery)

Safe Spine MISS: Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in Bangalore

adminBest Neurosurgeon in Bangalore, Spine Surgeons in Bangalore No Comments

Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has significantly evolved over the years, revolutionizing how spine-related problems are treated. With advancements in surgical skills, the use of microscopic techniques, and a deeper understanding of spinal microanatomy and biomechanics, patients now have access to safer and more effective treatments.

MISS in Bangalore has emerged as a preferred choice for addressing conditions like herniated discs, spinal decompression, spinal listhesis, and spinal tumors. Neurowellness, home to some of the best spine specialists in Bangalore, offers state-of-the-art minimally invasive techniques to ensure better outcomes and faster recovery for patients.

FeatureOpen Spine SurgeryMinimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)
Incision SizeLarge cut (5–6 inches)Small cut (1–2 cm)
Blood LossHigherMinimal
Recovery TimeWeeks to monthsFaster recovery in days
Pain & ScarsMore pain & scarringLess pain, tiny scars
Hospital Stay5–7 days1–2 days

Understanding Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)

MISS is a cutting-edge approach designed to treat spinal conditions with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues. Unlike traditional open spine surgery, which requires large incisions and significant tissue disruption, MISS focuses on achieving the same goals—nerve decompression, spinal stabilization, and neural protection—with minimal impact on the body.

At Neurowellness, our team of top spine surgeons in Bangalore specializes in performing advanced MISS procedures, including:

• Micro Lumbar Discectomy (MLD)
• Spinal decompression surgery
• Spinal listhesis correction
• Minimally invasive lumbar fusion
• Endoscopic spine surgery

Main goal is same for open spinal surgery and MISS (minimally invasive spine surgery) -results, outcome and protection of neural structures are same.

Key Advantages of MISS

MISS offers several benefits over traditional open spine surgery, making it a preferred option for many patients seeking spine surgery in Bangalore:

1. Minimal Incisions
MISS involves smaller skin incisions, reducing scarring and promoting faster healing. These small openings also minimize the risk of postoperative infections.
2. Less Tissue Disruption
Unlike open surgery, MISS avoids cutting through muscles and ligaments. Instead, long tubular retractors and advanced microscopic techniques are used to access the spine without causing significant tissue damage.
3. Reduced Blood Loss
One of the most significant advantages of MISS is reduced blood loss during surgery, contributing to quicker recovery and reduced need for blood transfusions.
4. Faster Recovery
With minimal disruption to tissues and smaller incisions, patients undergoing MISS experience shorter hospital stays and faster returns to their daily routines.
5. Improved Outcomes
The precision of MISS techniques allows for effective decompression of nerves, spinal cord, and other structures, leading to excellent long-term results.

MISS Techniques Used by Spine Surgeons in Bangalore

MISS relies on advanced tools and techniques to achieve successful outcomes. At Neurowellness, our spine specialists in Bangalore utilize:

1. Microscopic Techniques
MISS procedures involve the use of a high-powered microscope to provide a clear, magnified view of the spinal structures. This ensures precise dissection and minimal harm to surrounding tissues.
2. Tubular Retractors
Long tubular retractors are used to create a small window through which the surgeon can access the spine. This minimizes tissue disruption and enables a targeted approach to the affected area.
3. High-Speed Drills
High-speed drills are employed to remove bony structures such as the lamina or facet joints with precision, ensuring effective decompression without excessive tissue removal.
4. Advanced Implants
Titanium screws, cages, and artificial discs are placed through small retractors and tubes during procedures like minimally invasive lumbar fusion. These implants provide stabilization and support for the spine.

Conditions Treated with MISS

MISS is effective for a wide range of spinal conditions, including:

1. Herniated Discs
Minimally invasive lumbar discectomy is a popular procedure for treating herniated discs. It involves the removal of the damaged portion of the disc to relieve pressure on the nerves.
2. Spinal Stenosis
Spinal decompression surgery is used to alleviate symptoms caused by narrowed spinal canals. This technique relieves pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots.
3. Spinal Listhesis
MISS offers effective solutions for spinal listhesis, where one vertebra slips over another. Fusion and stabilization techniques are employed to restore spinal alignment.
4. Spinal Tumors
MISS is also used for the removal of spinal tumors with minimal disruption to surrounding healthy tissues.

Main goal of surgery is ‘NO HARM’ and key hole.

Our expert Spine Surgeons in Bangalore at Neurowellness provide consultation and treatment to all spine related problems.

2. Endoscopic Spine Surgery

3. MIS TLIF Surgery

Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) is performed to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain caused by spinal instability or spondylolisthesis.
