Unlike conventional open or microscopic spine surgery,…
Introduction High-heeled footwear alters normal body alignment and gait mechanics. While often associated with fashion and confidence, prolonged or improper use can significantly affect the spine, pelvis, and lower-limb biomechanics, leading to both short- and long-term musculoskeletal problems. …
Pregnancy places unique physiological and biomechanical demands on the spine. As the body adapts to support a growing fetus, predictable changes occur in posture, muscle function, hormonal balance, and load distribution. Understanding these changes helps prevent pain and supports long-term…
Introduction Sleep is meant to restore the body, yet many individuals wake up with neck pain, stiffness, or headaches. While cervical spine problems are often linked to poor posture, prolonged screen use, or stress, one commonly overlooked factor is the…

Many people think of sunlight as something that simply brightens the day — but for your spine, morning sunlight acts almost like a daily nutrient. The gentle rays that reach you in the early hours play a powerful role in…
Introduction The thoracic spine forms the structural foundation of the rib cage and plays a crucial role in respiratory mechanics. Although breathing is often viewed as an automatic function driven by the diaphragm, the mobility of the thoracic spine significantly…
Early diagnosis plays a vital role in determining the success of spinal surgery. Many spine-related conditions—such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and degenerative disc disease—progress gradually. When these issues are detected at an early stage, patients not only experience…
Your spine works tirelessly every day to support your body, enable movement, and protect your nervous system. However, certain unconscious habits can gradually strain it, leading to discomfort, poor posture, and even chronic issues. Prolonged Sitting Without Breaks: Spending hours…
Spending extended periods behind the wheel places significant stress on the spine due to a combination of posture, vibrations, and restricted movement. The spine is designed for mobility and balanced load distribution, but prolonged driving often disrupts this natural…
