Spinal Trauma Care (Cranio-Cervical, Thoracic & Lumbar Injuries)
We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients with spinal trauma affecting the cranio-cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), and lumbar (lower back) regions. Spinal injuries require urgent and expert care to prevent permanent damage, restore stability, and help patients return to their daily lives safely.
Understanding Spinal Trauma
Spinal trauma occurs when the spinal column, spinal cord, or surrounding structures are damaged due to accidents, falls, sports injuries, or violence. Such injuries can range from minor fractures to severe dislocations and spinal cord damage.
-
Cranio-Cervical Injuries – Involving the junction of the skull and upper cervical spine, often life-threatening and requiring immediate attention.
-
Thoracic Injuries – Affecting the mid-back; may cause chest wall instability and neurological issues.
-
Lumbar Injuries – Involving the lower back; can impact mobility, sensation, and bladder/bowel control.
Symptoms of Spinal Trauma
-
Severe back or neck pain
-
Loss of movement or paralysis
-
Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or legs
-
Loss of bladder or bowel control
-
Visible deformity or misalignment of the spine
Emergency Note: Any suspected spinal trauma should be treated as a medical emergency—immobilization and immediate hospital evaluation are critical.
Diagnosis
Our team uses advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to assess the type and extent of spinal injury, including:
-
X-rays
-
CT scans
-
MRI scans
-
Neurological examinations
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the severity, location, and nature of the injury:
Non-Surgical Management
-
Immobilization with braces or collars
-
Pain management and physical therapy
-
Close monitoring for neurological changes
Surgical Intervention
-
Decompression surgery – Relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerves
-
Stabilization and Fusion – Using rods, screws, or plates to stabilize the spine
-
Reconstructive surgery for severe deformities or instability
