{Tibb-e-Nabawi} Spinal Surgery

Spinal Surgery is a sensitive issue, & most of the patients get their problems back within few months OR years. We have seen a lot of people who needed Hijamah even after the surgery, so taking a risk for getting your Spine operated is not advisable.

 

With Hijamah, we have seen 90 ~ 95 % recovery of lower back pain issues, Cervical Spondylosis (neck pain), pain between the shoulders (KAHIL area), frozen shoulder, and even for Sciatica (problems in Lumbar region), pains disappear immediately for some individuals, and for others, they go periodically with multiple Hijamah sessions.

 

A general complication of back surgery can include spinal cord or nerve damage. This can lead to numbness, impotence, pain, paralysis and loss of muscle, bladder or bowel control. After surgery for a slipped disc, about one in 10 people will have another slipped disc and need further treatment. Or, if you have an implant fitted, the screws or implants in  your back may come loose and you will need further surgery.

 

What happens during back surgery

Your surgeon may use open or keyhole surgery. Open surgery involves making a single, large cut on your back. Keyhole surgery involves making several small cuts on your back and special instruments to do the operation.

Exactly how your surgery is carried out will depend on the type you are having.

• Discectomy - your surgeon will remove one or more of your discs through a small cut in your back. Part of the bony coverings of your spine (lamina) may also be removed, with a section of ligament.
• Spinal disc replacement - this procedure aims to restore disc height and movement between your vertebrae. Your surgeon will remove the affected discs and replace them with artificial ones.
• Laminectomy - your surgeon will remove the lamina and shave back any thickened ligaments, joints and bone spurs (overgrowths of bone). This will widen your spinal canal and relieve pressure that has built up around your spinal nerves.
• Foraminotomy - your surgeon will carry out a keyhole procedure to widen your foramina (the bony holes through which spinal nerves branch off from your spinal cord) and reduce pressure on your spinal nerves.
• Vertebroplasty - your surgeon will make a small cut on your back and using X-rays as guidance will slowly inject a cement-like mixture into your vertebrae to stabilise your spine.
• Spinal fusion - your surgeon will join two or more of your vertebrae together using a bone graft and a special metal scaffolding made of screws, rods or plates.
