Cervical Spine Health and Advanced Treatments by Dr. Archit Goyal
The cervical spine, commonly known as the neck region, plays a crucial role in supporting the head, enabling movement, and protecting the spinal cord. When the cervical spine is compromised due to injury, degeneration, or other conditions, it can lead to significant pain and reduced mobility. Dr. Archit Goyal specializes in advanced cervical spine treatments that aim to alleviate pain, restore mobility, and address complex spine conditions with precision and care. With his expertise in minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Goyal ensures patients receive effective treatments with quicker recovery times and less discomfort.
Key Cervical Spine Treatments Offered by Dr. Archit Goyal:
1. Cervical Microdiscectomy
Cervical microdiscectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat herniated discs in the neck. During this surgery, a small portion of the damaged disc is removed to relieve pressure on the surrounding nerves, which can help alleviate pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, shoulders, and arms. The procedure is performed with minimal incisions, leading to a faster recovery time and less post-operative pain.
2. Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)
ACDF is a common procedure used to treat conditions such as cervical disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, or spinal instability. In this procedure, the damaged disc is removed from the front of the neck, and a bone graft or implant is used to fuse the adjacent vertebrae together. This fusion helps restore stability to the spine, reducing pain and preventing further degeneration.
3. Cervical Disc Replacement
Cervical disc replacement is an alternative to spinal fusion for treating cervical disc degeneration or herniation. During this procedure, the damaged disc is removed and replaced with an artificial disc. This option preserves more natural motion in the neck compared to fusion, helping to maintain flexibility while relieving pain and pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
4. Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion
A cervical laminectomy is performed to treat spinal stenosis or nerve compression caused by overgrown bone or disc material. In this procedure, a portion of the vertebra called the lamina is removed to create more space for the spinal cord and nerves. If spinal instability is present, a fusion may also be performed to stabilize the spine and prevent future issues.
5. Cervical Laminoplasty
Cervical laminoplasty is a procedure designed to relieve pressure on the spinal cord due to conditions like spinal stenosis. It involves reshaping or repositioning the lamina to open up the spinal canal, allowing for more room for the nerves and spinal cord. This procedure can preserve motion in the neck while addressing nerve compression issues.
