2010 July 12

Neck pain is quite a common problem. It is a common problem in both young as well as the old. Dr. Krinjot Singh suggests that in order to cure back pain, it is very necessary that you know the possible causes of back pain. Dr. Kirnjot Singh presents four prominent reasons that cause the back pain. These are:

Worn out Joints – Your neck is just like any another joint, and just like the joints are subject to wear and tear, your neck is also subject to wear and tear. The wear and tear of neck pain increases with age. Worn out with aging is the prominent cause of neck pain.
Injuries Can Cause the Neck Pain – Whiplash injuries are also the prominent reasons for causing the neck pain in the individuals. The sudden jerky forward and backward moments might also result in neck pain.
Disorders in the Disk – Kirnjot Singh shares the opinion that even certain kinds of disk disorders also result into mild to severe neck pain. With ageing, the vertebral disks become stiff and dry, and this results in neck pain.

Dr. Kirnjot Singh suggests that knowing about these causes will help the neck pain patients to come out of it quite easily.

Risks Involved in Back Surgery : Dr. Kirnjot Singh

2010 July 8

Back surgery is a risky surgical procedure, especially because, it is performed near to the spinal cord. Dr. Kirnjot Singh opines that the rate of risk further increases when the back surgery is performed by an inexperienced ortho or spine surgeon. There are very high chances of nerve damage during back surgery, because spinal nerves are sensitive. Dr. Kirnjot Singh says that as the result conduction of nerve impulses to the part of body is hampered, which further affect the normal movement or feeling of the sensation.

Further, Dr. Kirnjot Singh says that in rare cases of autonomic nerve injury, it is seen that patients suffer from various complications in the heart or lungs. When the autonomic nerve injury is severe, it can even lead to the death of patient. Dr. Kirnjot Singh says that if the spinal cord injury or infection occurs as the result of negligence, complications develop which causes partial or complete paralysis in the patient. Dr. Kirnjot Singh says chances of occurrence are rare, but they can happen. Again, there are high chances of development of infection if the surgical procedure involves hardware or bone grafts. And if the infection reaches spinal canal, it could turn out to be fatal for the patient suffering from back problem.
