Spinal diseases and long-standing spinal cord injuries can cause various symptoms. Most of them are also characteristic of other pathologies, which complicates the initial diagnosis. Only a highly qualified and experienced specialist can make an accurate diagnosis after a comprehensive examination of the patient.

You should consult a spinal surgeon if you have the following symptoms:

• pain in the neck or various parts of the back;
• irradiation of pain in the arms, shoulders, legs or buttocks;
• limited mobility in the neck, lower back or other parts of the back;
• numbness, decreased sensitivity, tingling in the arms or legs;
• weakness in the legs, unsteady gait;
• impaired function of the pelvic organs (problems with urination or defecation, erectile dysfunction in men).

During the appointment, the spinal surgeon will conduct an examination, study the symptoms and medical history. To clarify the diagnosis, the spine doctor may prescribe an X-ray or computed tomography.

These examinations can also be performed at Oxford Medical. The clinic has installed a new Siemens Somatom Go.UP tomograph, which provides 64-slice scanning of the body with a step of 0.7 mm with minimal radiation exposure. This allows you to detect protrusions, hernias, neoplasms and other pathological changes from 1 mm in size.

Blockades allow you to quickly relieve back or joint pain - these are injections of drugs with an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, which are injected directly into the pain center. The patient feels relief within 30 minutes, the result lasts up to several months.

This method is an emergency. It allows you to quickly eliminate pain and alleviate other symptoms, but if the cause is a disease of the spine or joints, appropriate treatment is required.

At Oxford Medical, surgical treatment is performed using advanced minimally invasive techniques. They are accompanied by minimal damage to healthy tissues, which allows patients to get up and walk independently 2 hours after the operation, and the next day leave the clinic and return to their usual lifestyle.

In case of protrusion, radiofrequency disc-annuloplasty is performed using the Disc-FX system. This is a microsurgical procedure, during which a puncture with a diameter of 4 mm is made instead of incisions.

Treatment of herniated intervertebral discs is performed endoscopically. This is an innovative technology that allows the use of punctures with a diameter of 8 mm instead of incisions. An endoscope and surgical instruments are inserted through them, with the help of which the part of the pulpous nucleus of the intervertebral disc that has gone beyond the fibrous ring is removed.

In case of spinal canal stenosis, the operation is also performed minimally invasively. For decompression, only two punctures with a diameter of 7 mm are made using endoscopic instruments.

Treatment of hemangiomas of the vertebral bodies is performed by puncture vertebroplasty. The procedure is performed without incisions! The spinal surgeon makes a puncture with a thin needle and injects a special drug that ensures coagulation of blood vessels and cementation of the vertebrae to strengthen them.

The possibility of using minimally invasive techniques has created a revolution in spinal surgery. With high efficiency, such operations are accompanied by less damage to healthy tissues, which reduces the risk of complications, and the rehabilitation period is much easier and faster.

The cost of treatment depends on several factors:

• type of operation;

• its complexity;

• use of general anesthesia or local anesthesia.
