Conditions We Treat
An evidence-based educational resource detailing neurological and spinal disorders, red-flag symptoms, diagnostic imaging methods, and non-operative versus surgical treatment protocols.
Spine, Disc & Nerve Disorders
Degenerative disc prolapse, canal stenosis, radicular nerve compression, and spinal stability.
Slipped Disc
Displacement of the soft central nucleus pulposus through a weakened fibrous outer ring, producing painful compression of nearby spinal nerve roots.
Key Symptoms:
- •Sharp, electric, or burning pain radiating down the leg (sciatica) or into the arm and fingers
- •Numbness, tingling, or 'pins-and-needles' sensation along specific dermatomal nerve paths
Spinal Stenosis
Progressive narrowing of the central spinal canal or neural exit openings, crowding nerve roots and creating leg cramping during walking.
Key Symptoms:
- •Neurogenic Claudication: Cramping, heaviness, or numbness in buttocks, thighs, and calves after walking short distances
- •Relief of symptoms when bending forward, sitting, or leaning over a shopping cart ('shopping cart sign')
Cervical Disc Disease
Age or posture-related wear of discs in the neck, causing pain radiating into the shoulder and arm or dangerous spinal cord compression.
Key Symptoms:
- •Sharp or aching pain radiating from the neck across the shoulder blade and down the arm into the fingers
- •Numbness, tingling, or weakness in specific fingers or hand muscles
Lumbar Disc Disease
Degenerative deterioration of the low back cushions, producing chronic axial back aching, disc tears, and radiating sciatic nerve symptoms.
Key Symptoms:
- •Deep, persistent aching in the lower back that worsens after prolonged sitting, driving, or bending
- •Episodes of acute 'catch' in the back where standing upright becomes agonizingly difficult
Nerve Compression
Physical constriction or impingement of peripheral nerves or spinal roots, producing pain, sensory disturbance, and muscle weakness along the nerve pathway.
Key Symptoms:
- •Burning, lancinating, or electric shock-like pain radiating along the nerve path
- •Persistent numbness or pins-and-needles sensation in fingers, toes, or limbs
Brain Conditions & Neurotrauma
Intracranial neoplasms, traumatic brain injury, acute intracranial hemorrhages, and skull base pathologies.
Brain Tumour
An abnormal growth of cellular tissue within the rigid cranial vault, requiring precise neurosurgical evaluation, imaging assessment, and individualized care.
Key Symptoms:
- •New, persistent headaches that are often worse in the early morning or with straining
- •Unexplained nausea, vomiting, or sudden visual disturbances (blurring, double vision)
Head Injury & Neurotrauma
Trauma to the scalp, skull, or brain tissue from vehicular accidents, falls, or blunt impact, necessitating immediate triage and specialist neurosurgical management.
Key Symptoms:
- •Loss of consciousness (even momentary) following an impact to the head
- •Worsening headache, repeated vomiting, or dizziness after head impact
