The spine is a complex structure made up of vertebrae, discs, nerves, and muscles, all working together to support your body and enable movement. However, various conditions can affect these components, leading to pain, discomfort, and decreased mobility. Understanding these conditions is crucial for finding relief and improving your quality of life.
Dr. Sampat treats a wide range of spine-related conditions using his extensive knowledge and minimally invasive techniques. He employs both conservative measures and advanced surgical techniques to ensure his patients receive the best possible care with minimal disruption to their lives. This approach ensures that Dr. Sampat’s patients receive the most advanced and effective care available, with shorter recovery times and less postoperative pain.
Explore the range of spine-related conditions that Dr. Chintan Sampat expertly manages using his extensive knowledge and minimally invasive techniques.
Back Pain |
Back pain may occur after an injury or brisk unintended movement or may simply emerge without warning. Fortunately, in more than 90 percent of cases, the pain resolves within 7 to 10 days with conservative treatments such as ice, heat, and oral pain medications. In most cases, surgery is not needed, but when back pain becomes chronic, it likely indicates a spine condition that may require surgery. |
Cervicalgia |
Cervicalgia refers to pain in the neck, which can result from various causes such as muscle strain, poor posture, or degenerative changes in the cervical spine. Learn more about cervicalgia. |
Degenerative Disc Disease |
Degenerative disc disease is a condition where the intervertebral discs lose hydration and elasticity over time, leading to chronic pain and discomfort. Discover more about degenerative disc disease. |
Discitis |
Discitis is an infection of the intervertebral disc space, often causing severe back pain and fever. Learn more about discitis. |
Flatback Syndrome |
Flatback syndrome occurs when the normal curvature of the spine is lost, leading to an imbalance and difficulty standing upright. Read more about flatback syndrome. |
Herniated Disc |
A herniated disc occurs when the inner gel-like core of the disc bulges out through a tear in the outer layer, compressing nearby nerves and causing pain. Learn more about herniated discs. |
Pseudarthrosis After Fusion |
Pseudarthrosis refers to a failed spinal fusion, where the bone fails to heal properly after surgery, causing persistent pain. Learn more about pseudarthrosis.
|
Radiculopathy |
Radiculopathy is caused by compression of spinal nerve roots, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness radiating down the arms or legs. Read more about radiculopathy. |
Sacroiliitis |
Sacroiliitis is inflammation of one or both sacroiliac joints, located where the lower spine and pelvis connect, causing pain in the lower back and buttocks. Learn more about sacroiliitis. |
Sciatica |
Sciatica refers to pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, from the lower back down to the legs, often due to a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. Discover more about sciatica. |
Scoliosis |
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often occurs during the growth spurt before puberty. Severe cases can be disabling. Find out more about scoliosis. |
Spinal Fractures / Vertebral Compression Fractures |
Spinal fractures, including vertebral compression fractures, result from trauma or weakened bones due to osteoporosis, leading to severe back pain and spinal deformity. Learn more about spinal fractures. |
Spinal Stenosis |
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that can compress the spinal cord and nerves, causing pain, numbness, and muscle weakness. Read more about spinal stenosis. |
Spondylolysis & Spondylolisthesis |
Spondylolysis is a stress fracture in one of the vertebrae, and spondylolisthesis occurs when a vertebra slips out of place due to the fracture. Learn more about spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis. |
Sprains and Strains of the Neck/Back |
Sprains and strains are common injuries resulting from overstretched or torn ligaments and muscles, often due to sudden movements or heavy lifting. Discover more about sprains and strains. |
