Spine problems we commonly see in Anna Nagar patients

1. Disc problems in desk workers. Long hours of sitting, driving and laptop work put steady load on the lumbar and cervical discs. Dr. Barani co-authored a prospective MRI study of 100 computer professionals that documented multi-level disc degeneration in young people (EC Orthopaedics, 2018), so this is a pattern he understands well. Typical signs are back pain with a shooting pain down the leg, which is known as sciatica. The NHS explains that sciatica often settles within weeks to months, and that you should see a doctor if it is not improving, is getting worse or is stopping normal activities. When it persists, options include spinal injections and, in selected cases, discectomy.
2. Spinal stenosis in senior citizens. Anna Nagar has a large senior population, and lumbar spinal stenosis is one of the most common reasons older adults lose walking ability. Leg pain, cramping or heaviness while walking or standing that eases on sitting or bending forward is the classic pattern, as Mayo Clinic describes. Many people improve with physiotherapy and medicines; those who do not may benefit from lumbar decompression or lumbar interbody fusion. Dr. Barani completed a geriatric spine fellowship in Sendai, Japan, so age-related spine problems are a special interest.
3. Osteoporotic spine fractures. A sudden, sharp back pain after a minor fall or even a cough can signal a compression fracture. Treatment may range from bracing and pain control to vertebroplasty, along with bone-health treatment to prevent the next fracture.
4. Scoliosis and spine deformity in teenagers and adults. Adolescent curves need timely assessment because progression can be predicted and managed. Learn more about scoliosis correction.
