Cervical Spondylitis Treatment by Prof. Dr. Md. Kamrul Ahsan

Prof. Dr. Md. Kamrul Ahsan, a distinguished Orthopaedic and Spine Surgeon, specializes in the treatment of Cervical Spondylitis, a degenerative condition affecting the cervical spine. His approach to treatment is tailored based on the patient’s symptoms, severity, and overall health condition.

Treatment Procedures:

1. Conservative Treatment (Non-Surgical Approach)

Most cases of cervical spondylitis can be managed without surgery through:

✅ Medications

• Pain relievers (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen)
• Muscle relaxants (for reducing stiffness)
• Neuropathic drugs (Gabapentin, Pregabalin)
• Calcium & Vitamin D supplements

✅ Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation

• Cervical traction – to relieve pressure on the nerves
• Stretching & strengthening exercises – to improve mobility
• Posture correction – to prevent further damage
• Hot & cold therapy – for pain relief

✅ Lifestyle Modifications

• Avoiding prolonged sitting or incorrect posture
• Using an ergonomic pillow & workstation
• Gentle neck exercises & mobility enhancement

2. Injection Therapy (For Pain Management)

If medications and physiotherapy do not provide relief, Prof. Dr. Md. Kamrul Ahsan may recommend:

💉 Cervical Epidural Steroid Injection – To reduce nerve inflammation
💉 Facet Joint Injection – To relieve pain from worn-out joints
💉 Trigger Point Injection – For muscle pain and spasms

3. Surgical Treatment (If Required)

For severe cases involving nerve compression, spinal instability, or persistent pain, advanced surgical procedures are considered:

🔹 Anterior Cervical Discectomy & Fusion (ACDF) – Removing a herniated disc and stabilizing the spine
🔹 Cervical Artificial Disc Replacement – Preserving motion by replacing the damaged disc
🔹 Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) – A modern approach for faster recovery with minimal incision
