The team of spine specialists at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, is a group of highly skilled and experienced doctors who are dedicated to providing the best possible care for patients with spine disorders.

Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, offers a comprehensive range of treatments for spine disorders. These include:
Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degeneration of the bones (vertebrae) in the neck (cervical spine) and the cushions (discs) between the vertebrae.
A progressive worsening of neck pain and stiffness could indicate cervical spondylosis. This condition can exert pressure on the spinal nerves, leading to pain in the arms and hands (known as cervical radiculopathy). It can also put pressure on the spinal cord, resulting in numbness and weakness in both the arms and legs (referred to as cervical myelopathy). Early signs of this can include changes in handwriting or an altered gait.
Management of this condition may involve surgical decompression using anterior (from the front) or posterior (from the back) approaches, with or without fusion.
Scoliosis is the Greek word for 'curvature'. Scoliosis causes the spine to curve laterally (to the side), usually in the shape of an "S" or "C". The magnitude of the curve is measured in degrees with respect to the apical (most deviated) vertebra.
This can occur due to congenital anomalies (present at birth), adolescent age (growth-related), or in adults (due to degenerative changes). Physical signs may include uneven shoulders, one hip lower than the other, a rib hump when bent over at the waist, and leaning to one side.
If left untreated, it may lead to progressive deformity and secondary systemic complications like difficulty in breathing due to restrictive lung disease. Whatever the patient's age, the goal is to stabilize the spine to prevent the progression of curvature and to correct the deformity.
Traditionally, Scoliosis is treated with posterior instrumented fusion surgery. Apollo Institute of Spine Surgery is the only center in India at present to offer Non-fusion scoliosis correction which preserves spinal mobility.
First Lumbar Disc Replacement: Apollo Chennai takes pride in performing the first lumbar disc replacement in India.
Spondylolisthesis is a Greek term meaning 'slipping of the spine'. It is a common condition with abnormal forward movement of one vertebra over the vertebra below.
Most often, this forward slip of the vertebra occurs in the lumbar area (L4-5, L5-S1) of the spine. This slippage and herniation of the disc causes pressure on the nerve roots between the affected vertebrae, causing pain and dysfunction.
Surgical procedure to relieve the pressure on nerve roots, correction of slippage, prevention of further slipping and restoration of spinal balance is the key.
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is very common affecting half of the population and becomes increasingly prevalent as we age. It is a kind of 'wear and tear' disease similar to osteoarthritis of the knee.
Although it can occur at any spinal level, it is most common in the lumbar spine (low back). DDD can cause the discs to flatten losing their normal height. Common surgical procedure involves fusion of the involved level, options in multiple level involvement include fusion at one level with motion preservation at the adjacent level, preserving motion and preventing further degeneration.
At Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, spine treatments are not just about addressing the ailment but ensuring the overall well-being of the patient.
A groundbreaking treatment, it uses shape-memory alloys to correct the abnormal curvature of the spine, offering patients a chance at a normal life.
A testament to modern medical advancements, MISS offers patients relief with minimal scarring, reduced pain, and a faster recovery trajectory.
Spine surgery is no more open surgery where a long incision is utilized to allow the surgeon to view and access the anatomy. It has presently advanced to be treated with a minimally invasive surgical technique avoiding significant damage to the muscles around the spine.
The technological advances in minimally invasive (Keyhole) surgery using special retractor systems and instruments enable surgery to be performed through small incisions which in turn aid in the rapid rehabilitation of the patient.
Minimal access surgery for disc prolapse and nerve compression pathology are performed at the Apollo Institute of Spine Surgery.
In cases where spinal discs are damaged beyond repair, Apollo offers disc replacement surgeries, substituting the damaged disc with artificial counterparts, restoring both function and flexibility.
Artificial Disc Replacement technique has now been internationally approved for clinical practice and the best spine surgeons in Apollo Hospitals, Chennai have already performed this surgery on a few patients.
The advantage of this procedure is that it returns back the motion in the affected spinal segment and the patient can lead a near-normal life without any limitations.
A procedure where two or more vertebrae are joined or fused together. This is done to eliminate any painful movement between them, providing lasting relief to patients.
