Spine Disorders & Trauma: Advanced Care by Dr. Alok Srivastava

The spine is the backbone of our body—both literally and figuratively—providing support, flexibility, and protection for the spinal cord. Spine disorders and trauma can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, causing pain, restricted mobility, and even neurological deficits. Dr. Alok Srivastava, a leading neurosurgeon in Lucknow, specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of spine conditions and injuries with precision and care.

Understanding Spine Disorders & Trauma

Spine disorders can arise due to various factors, including age-related degeneration, injuries, infections, tumors, and congenital abnormalities. Trauma, on the other hand, is often caused by accidents, falls, or sudden impacts that damage the spinal vertebrae, discs, or spinal cord.

Common Spine Disorders Treated by Dr. Alok Srivastava:

  • Herniated Disc: Bulging or ruptured discs that compress nearby nerves, causing pain and weakness.
  • Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
  • Spondylolisthesis: Misalignment of vertebrae leading to instability and nerve compression.
  • Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear of spinal discs, leading to chronic back pain.
  • Osteoporosis-Related Fractures: Fragile bones causing spinal compression fractures.
  • Spinal Infections & Tumors: Conditions that can lead to deformities, instability, or nerve damage.

Trauma-Related Spine Injuries:

  • Fractures and dislocations of the vertebrae.
  • Spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis or loss of sensation.
  • Soft tissue injuries causing inflammation and pain.

Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment

Dr. Alok Srivastava employs cutting-edge diagnostic tools, such as MRI, CT scans, and X-rays, to accurately assess spine conditions and determine the best treatment plan.

Treatment Options:

  1. Non-Surgical Care:

    • Medication for pain relief and inflammation.
    • Physiotherapy to improve mobility and strengthen the spine.
    • Epidural injections to reduce nerve inflammation.

  2. Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery:

    • Microdiscectomy: Removal of herniated disc material to relieve nerve compression.
    • Spinal Fusion: Stabilization of the spine by fusing vertebrae using bone grafts or implants.
    • Laminectomy: Removal of the lamina to decompress the spinal cord and nerves.

  3. Advanced Surgical Procedures:

    • Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty: Cement injection to stabilize fractures.
    • Spinal Tumor Resection: Surgical removal of tumors with precision techniques.
    • Spinal Reconstruction Surgery: Correcting deformities caused by trauma or diseases.

Why Choose Dr. Alok Srivastava for Spine Care?

  • Over a decade of experience in treating complex spine disorders and trauma.
  • Expertise in minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery and reduced pain.
  • Compassionate care tailored to each patient’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Spine Disorders & Trauma

Dr. Alok Srivastava specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of spine disorders, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, osteoporosis-related fractures, spinal infections, and tumors.

Spinal trauma refers to injuries to the spine caused by accidents, falls, or sudden impacts, which can result in fractures, dislocations, or spinal cord damage. Treatment may include non-surgical options like medications and physiotherapy or surgical procedures such as vertebroplasty, spinal fusion, or minimally invasive techniques depending on the severity of the injury.

You should consult a spine specialist if you experience:

  • Persistent back or neck pain.
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs.
  • Difficulty walking or balancing.
  • Sudden loss of bowel or bladder control.

Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further complications.

Minimally invasive spine surgery involves advanced techniques that use small incisions, specialized tools, and imaging guidance to treat spine conditions. These procedures result in less pain, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgeries.

 

Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s overall health. Minimally invasive procedures typically allow patients to resume normal activities within a few weeks, while more complex surgeries may require longer recovery periods. Dr. Srivastava provides personalized post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery.

Yes, spine surgery is generally safe when performed by an experienced neurosurgeon like Dr. Alok Srivastava. Using advanced techniques and technology, Dr. Srivastava ensures the highest standards of safety and precision during surgical procedures.

Non-surgical treatments for spine disorders include:

  • Medications for pain and inflammation.
  • Physiotherapy to improve strength and flexibility.
  • Epidural steroid injections for nerve pain relief.
  • Lifestyle modifications and posture correction.

Dr. Srivastava emphasizes non-surgical options whenever possible to provide effective relief.
