Spine Surgery

Spine Surgery

The spine plays a vital role in supporting the body, protecting the spinal cord, and allowing movement. Disorders affecting the spine can cause severe pain, numbness, weakness, difficulty walking, and reduced quality of life. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent permanent nerve damage and disability.
