arthritis, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Scoliosis\">scoliosis<\/a>, and kyphosis.<\/p><p>Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing the spine by joining two or more vertebrae together. The goal of spinal fusion is to eliminate movement in a segment of the spine. This helps to reduce pressure on adjacent nerves and stop the pain that might have been caused by the movement of these vertebrae. This procedure is also referred to as spinal arthrodesis.<\/p><p>Spinal decompression, which involves relieving pressure on the spinal cord by repositioning a vertebra that has become misaligned due to an injury or illness.<\/p><p>This process involves placing the patient in a specialised device that applies controlled traction to the spine. The traction forces stretch the vertebrae, allowing them to decompress (separate from one another) and relieve the pressure on compressed spinal discs.<\/p><p>The decompression process improves blood flow to the injured areas of the spine. This helps to remove toxins that have built up around a compressed disc and reduces pain caused by inflammation.<\/p><p>Spinal surgery can be performed through an open incision using surgical instruments or through a minimally invasive approach using small incisions and a camera called an endoscope.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column

This can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms or legs, as well as back pain.<\/p><p><strong>Scoliosis and Kyphosis<\/strong>: Scoliosis is a condition where the spine curves sideways and backwards. The term &#8220;scoliosis&#8221; means &#8220;twisted spine.&#8221; Kyphosis is a medical condition that causes the shoulders to curve forward, with the spine curving inward. Kyphosis may affect one side of the spine or both.<\/p><p><strong>Osteoporosis<\/strong>: Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle, making them more likely to break. It typically affects older adults but can also affect younger individuals who have passed their peak bone mass in their twenties.<\/p><p><strong>Spinal Fractures<\/strong>: A vertebral fracture is a break in one of the bones of the spine. The spine is made up of vertebrae, which are small bones that protect the spinal cord. A vertebral fracture can cause pain and nerve damage. The severity of a spinal fracture depends on its location, the number of vertebrae affected, and the extent of nerve damage or compression.<\/p><p><strong>Spinal Tumours and Spinal Metastases<\/strong>: Spinal tumours can develop from cancerous or benign cells. They typically grow within the spinal canal, the space that houses the spinal cord and nerve roots. They can also develop in other parts of the spine, such as the ligaments and vertebrae.<\/p><p>Spinal metastases are abnormal growths that arise from cancer cells spreading from other parts of the body to the spine via the lymphatic system or bloodstream. Spinal metastases can cause pain, numbness, weakness, and loss of bowel or bladder control.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/main>\r\n\t\t\t\t<section

It can range from mild to severe and is most commonly observed in individuals aged 10 to 25.<\/p><p>There are two types of scoliosis:<\/p><p>Idiopathic scoliosis, meaning there is no known cause for the abnormal curvature of the spine.<\/p><p>Structural scoliosis, which is due to an issue with the bones and vertebrae, such as rickets or osteoporosis.<\/p><p>The treatment options for scoliosis include:<\/p><p>Bracing \u2013 This helps to keep the spine straight during growth. Braces are typically recommended for children whose spinal curves exceed 10 degrees and for those who continue to experience spinal curvature after they have finished growing (post-puberty).<\/p><p>Physical therapy \u2013 Physiotherapists can help strengthen the muscles that support the spine and reduce pain for individuals with scoliosis. They may also recommend exercises to improve posture and build strength.<\/p><p>Surgery \u2013 Surgical intervention may be considered if bracing is not effective or if there is a risk of paralysis due to nerve compression caused by the abnormal spinal curve. Surgery is generally not recommended until after puberty, as certain spinal changes can occur during this period.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4b8c7142\" data-id=\"4b8c7142\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c6963c3 envato-kit-139-accordion flex-horizontal-align-default flex-horizontal-align-tablet-default flex-horizontal-align-mobile-default flex-vertical-align-default flex-vertical-align-tablet-default flex-vertical-align-mobile-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"6c6963c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1811\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1811\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus-circle\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What is an endoscope?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1811\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1811\"><p>In medicine and biology, an endoscope (from the Greek words \u1f14\u03bd\u03b4\u03bf\u03bd &#8220;endon&#8221; meaning &#8220;inside&#8221; and \u03c3\u03ba\u03bf\u03c0\u03b5\u1fd6\u03bd &#8220;skopein&#8221; meaning &#8220;to look&#8221;) is a surgical instrument used to visualise structures inside a body cavity, for example during surgery or a colonoscopy.
