Traumatic Disc Extrusion Treatment: Expert Care at Ishaan Ortho & Spine, Bangalore

Ishaan Ortho & Spine, a leading orthopedic center in Bangalore, offers comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and care for traumatic disc extrusion. Our team of experienced doctors, led by Dr. Subodh M Shetty, is dedicated to providing personalized care plans to manage pain, restore function, and improve your quality of life.

Understanding Traumatic Disc Extrusion:

The spine is made up of individual bones (vertebrae) separated by discs. These discs act as cushions, absorbing shock and allowing for movement. Traumatic disc extrusion occurs when a sudden, forceful impact causes the soft inner core of a disc to rupture and completely extrude (leak out) from its normal position. This can put significant pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain and other neurological symptoms.

Causes of Traumatic Disc Extrusion:

While disc herniation can occur due to wear and tear over time, traumatic disc extrusion specifically results from a sudden impact, such as:

Falls from a height
Car accidents
Sports injuries
Work-related accidents

Symptoms of Traumatic Disc Extrusion:

The symptoms of traumatic disc extrusion can vary depending on the location of the extruded disc material and the nerves it affects. They may include:

Sudden and severe back or neck pain, often described as radiating or shooting
Weakness, numbness, or tingling in the legs or arms (depending on the location of the extrusion)
Difficulty walking, maintaining balance, or controlling muscles
Loss of bowel or bladder control in severe cases

Diagnosis of Traumatic Disc Extrusion:

Diagnosing traumatic disc extrusion often involves a combination of tests, including:

Medical history and physical examination: Discussing your symptoms, the nature of the accident, and performing a physical exam to assess pain, reflexes, muscle strength, and sensation.
Imaging tests: X-rays to visualize the bones and alignment of the spine, and MRI scans to create detailed images of the soft tissues, including the discs and nerves.

Treatment Options at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we offer a tailored approach to treating traumatic disc extrusion. The specific treatment plan depends on the severity of your symptoms, the location of the extrusion, and your overall health. Treatment options may include:

Conservative treatment: This is often the first line of treatment and may involve:
- Rest: Avoiding strenuous activities that aggravate pain.
- Pain management: Medications like anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers to manage pain and inflammation.
- Physical therapy: Specific exercises to improve flexibility, strengthen core muscles, and improve posture.
- Bracing: Wearing a back brace or neck collar for short periods to provide support and limit movement.
Minimally invasive procedures: In some cases, injections like epidural steroid injections or facet joint injections may be used to reduce inflammation around the nerve root.
Surgery: If conservative treatments fail to provide relief or there is significant nerve compression, surgery may be necessary to remove the extruded disc material and alleviate pressure on the nerves.

Hospitalization Care:

Hospitalization is typically necessary for traumatic disc extrusion due to the sudden and severe nature of the injury and the potential need for immediate pain management, stabilization, or surgical intervention. Our team of specialists will work closely with you to develop a personalized care plan and provide comprehensive support throughout your recovery journey.

Schedule an Appointment:

If you have experienced a recent accident and are experiencing severe back pain, weakness, numbness, or any other concerning symptoms, schedule an appointment with Dr. Subodh M Shetty at Ishaan Ortho & Spine for an immediate evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment plan. Early intervention is crucial for managing your symptoms, preventing complications, and promoting a full recovery.

  Words can hardly convey the incredible transformation that has occurred in our lives, all thanks to the extraordinary Dr. Subodh M. Shetty. He is more than just a doctor; he is our savior, and his impact on our family is immeasurable.

My father's struggle with ankylosing spondylitis was nothing short of a nightmare. The mere act of bending was accompanied by a horrifying symphony of joint movement, a sound that served as a constant reminder of the pain he endured every day. His condition left him unable to enjoy the simplest of pleasures, and it weighed heavily on all of us.

When we first met Dr. Shetty, my father's situation was further complicated by a dangerously low hemoglobin level. Many doctors might have hesitated, but not Dr. Shetty. He calibrates his approach with a precision that can only be described as miraculous. His unwavering confidence in the face of adversity gave us the strength to proceed with the surgery, despite the odds.

During the surgery, Dr. Shetty's skill and expertise shone brightly. He guided my father through the intricate procedure with a steady hand, leaving us with no doubt that we had made the right choice. But Dr. Shetty's care did not stop at the operating room; he provided us with a professional physiotherapist who played a crucial role in managing my father's pain and facilitating his recovery.

What truly sets Dr. Shetty apart is his unwavering dedication. He was with us every step of the way, from the initial consultation to my father's complete recovery. His presence was a source of comfort and reassurance, a guiding light in our darkest hours.

Our journey with Dr. Shetty began with a simple Google search, "Best Orthopedic Doctor Near Me," and little did we know that this search would change the course of our lives. Dr. Subodh M. Shetty is not just a doctor; he is a miracle worker, a compassionate healer, and a guiding force that has brought light and hope back into our family.

To Dr. Shetty, you are not only a gifted surgeon but a true guardian angel. Your skill, dedication, and unwavering support have given my father a new lease on life, and for that, we are forever grateful. You have touched our hearts in ways words can't capture, and we consider ourselves blessed to have found you.
