Cervical Spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal disks in your neck. As the disks dehydrate and shrink, signs of osteoarthritis develop, including bony projections along the edges of bones (spurs). This condition is extremely common and worsens with age, often leading to chronic neck pain and stiffness.
Dr. Santosh Varma specializes in the complete management of cervical spine conditions in Navi Mumbai. While he prioritizes non-surgical treatments like physical therapy and posture correction, he also provides expert surgical intervention for cases where nerve compression leads to severe pain or loss of function. His goal is to protect your long-term neck health and restore your range of motion.
For patients with persistent neck pain due to arthritis, we offer targeted facet joint injections. These injections use anti-inflammatory agents to reduce swelling and pain directly at the source, often providing long-lasting relief and improving neck mobility.
When spinal discs or bone spurs press against the nerves in the neck, it can cause radiating pain and numbness in the arms. We utilize minimally invasive techniques to relieve this pressure, focusing on decompressing the nerve roots while preserving the stability of the spine.
Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is a gold-standard procedure for treating damaged discs. Dr. Varma removes the problematic disc and stabilizes the area using advanced implants, ensuring permanent relief from nerve compression and cervical instability.
In suitable candidates, we offer artificial disc replacement as an alternative to fusion. This advanced procedure replaces the damaged disc with a mechanical one, allowing the neck to maintain its natural movement and reducing the stress on surrounding spinal levels.
Don't let neck pain limit your view of the world. With Dr. Santosh Varma's expert spine care, you can achieve lasting relief and return to a pain-free life.
