Spine Injections Doctor Nagpur
Spine injections are a minimally invasive treatment option for various spinal conditions, including chronic pain, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and radiculopathy. These injections typically contain pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory medications, such as corticosteroids or anesthetics, which are delivered directly to the affected area using fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance.
The spine is a complex structure
- Vertebrae (33 bones) – Providing structural support
- Intervertebral discs – Acting as shock absorbers
- Spinal cord and nerves – Facilitating communication between the brain and body
- Muscles and ligaments – Ensuring stability and movement
Common Spine Conditions Treated by Dr. Swapnil Sanjay Hjare
1. Herniated Disc (Slipped Disc)
A herniated disc occurs when a soft inner gel of spinal disc leaks out, pressing on nearby nerves.
Symptoms:
- Sharp pain in lower back or neck
- Radiating pain to arms or legs (sciatica)
- Numbness or tingling
Treatment:
- Physical therapy
- Epidural steroid injections
- Minimally invasive discectomy (if conservative treatments fail)
2. Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is narrowing of spinal canal, leading to nerve compression.
Symptoms:
- Leg pain while walking (neurogenic claudication)
- Weakness in limbs
- Balance issues
Treatment:
- Decompression therapy
- Laminectomy surgery
3. Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)
Age-related wear and tear of spinal discs can cause chronic pain.
Symptoms:
- Persistent back pain
- Reduced flexibility
- Pain worsens with sitting or bending
Treatment:
- Core strengthening exercises
- Artificial disc replacement (in severe cases)
4. Scoliosis
An abnormal sideways curvature of spine are frequently diagnosed in adolescents.
Symptoms:
- Uneven shoulders or hips
- Back pain
- Breathing difficulties (in severe cases)
Treatment:
- Bracing (for growing children)
- Spinal fusion surgery (if curvature exceeds 40 degrees)
5. Spondylolisthesis
A condition where one vertebra slips over another and that causing instability.
Symptoms:
- Lower back pain
- Stiffness
- Nerve compression symptoms
Treatment:
- Physical therapy
- Spinal fusion (if slippage is severe)
Advanced Diagnostic Techniques
Dr. Swapnil Sanjay Hjare uses cutting-edge diagnostic tools to accurately identify spine problems:
- MRI Scan – Provides detailed images of soft tissues, discs, and nerves.
- CT Scan – Helps assess bone abnormalities.
- X-rays – Detects fractures or misalignments.
- Electromyography (EMG) – Evaluates nerve function
Non-Surgical Treatment Options
1. Physical Therapy: Customized exercises strengthen the spine and improve posture.
2. Medications: NSAIDs (for pain and inflammation) ,Muscle relaxants (for spasms)
3. Epidural Steroid Injections: Reduces inflammation around compressed nerves.
4. Chiropractic Care: Spinal adjustments can relieve misalignment-related pain.
When Is Spine Surgery Needed?
- Pain persists despite conservative treatments
- There is nerve damage or loss of function
- Structural deformities (like severe scoliosis) require correction
