Author(s): Avrert Desesrnt*
The spine, a marvel of engineering within the human body, provides structural support, flexibility, and protection to the delicate spinal cord.
However, conditions such as scoliosis and arthritis can compromise its functionality, leading to pain, limited mobility, and potential nerve damage.
Fortunately, advancements in spine research, particularly in the realm of surgical interventions like laminectomy, offer hope for patients grappling
with these debilitating conditions. Scoliosis is a complex spinal deformity characterized by an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. It can
develop during childhood or adolescence, known as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, or later in life due to degenerative changes in the spine. On
the other hand, arthritis, particularly osteoarthritis, affects the joints, including those in the spine, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced.. Read More»
