Ahmedabad: Saturday, 1st July 2023: Marengo CIMS Hospital, Ahmedabad is launching a ‘Spine Clinic’ as a vital component in treating the rising spinal issues in every age group. 33 bones also called vertebra constitute the entire spinal column. These protect and support the spinal cord and nerves. Injuries, falls or accidents, lifestyle habits, postures, and spinal diseases can damage the vertebra and cause severe pain.
This may limit the mobility of the individual and increasingly deteriorate the body shape and functionality. The abnormalities in the spine can also impact the straight curvature of the spine, losing the natural curve. With a sharp spike in spinal disorders in the younger population, it was important to widen the scope of clinical excellence to treat the significant range of spinal problems. Marengo CIMS Hospital is focused on patient growth and brings in new treatment solutions to complement the existing treatments through this initiative. The largest and expert team of Neuro Spine Surgeons of Gujarat leads this unit, led by Dr. Y.C.Shah, Dr Tushar Shah and Dr T K B Ganapathy. The team is also supported by Dr. Parimal.Tripathi, , Dr. Deven.Zaveri, Dr. Sandip.Shah, Dr. Jayun.Shah, Dr. HardikDarjiand Dr. DipakBetai.

There are many recognized spinal diseases, some more common than others. The spinal disease also includes cervical spine diseases, which are diseases in the vertebrae of the neck. In the current times, we witness spinal health challenges across every age group and, in both male and female populations. There are several reasons for spinal disorders and diseases, many of which are driven by lifestyle patterns followed, sitting postures at workplaces, unhealthy working styles, nutrition, smoking, low calcium intake, exhaustive exercises,and even stress. Challenges such as cushion rupture, spondylitis, spondylosis, the effect of TB on spondyloma, tumor on spondyloma, and injury of spondyloma are major areas that require urgent medical interventions.
