At our Hyderabad Ortho Spine & Pain Care Centre, we specialize in the comprehensive diagnosis, management, and treatment of spine infections—a serious and often complex condition that requires expert care. With a dedicated team of orthopedic spine surgeons, infectious disease experts, radiologists, and rehabilitation professionals, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to treating spinal infections with precision, compassion, and a focus on recovery.

What Are Spine Infections?

Spine infections, also known as spinal osteomyelitis, discitis, or epidural abscesses, occur when bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms infect the bones (vertebrae), intervertebral discs, or surrounding spinal tissues. These infections can result from bloodstream infections, surgical procedures, injuries, or systemic illnesses such as diabetes or tuberculosis.

Common types include:

Vertebral Osteomyelitis – infection in the spinal bones
Discitis – infection in the intervertebral disc space
Spinal Epidural Abscess – collection of pus in the spinal canal
Tuberculous Spondylitis (Pott’s Disease) – tuberculosis of the spine

Symptoms of Spine Infections

Spine infections can be difficult to diagnose early due to nonspecific symptoms. However, common warning signs include:

Persistent, severe back or neck pain
Fever, chills, or night sweats
Localized tenderness over the spine
Neurological symptoms such as weakness, numbness, or bladder dysfunction
Fatigue or unexplained weight loss

If left untreated, spine infections can lead to spinal instability, abscess formation, nerve damage, or even paralysis.

Advanced Diagnosis

At our Hyderabad Ortho Spine & Pain Care Centre, accurate and early diagnosis is key to effective treatment. Our team uses a combination of:
Blood tests and infection markers (CRP, ESR, WBC count)
Advanced imaging – MRI, CT scan, and X-rays
Biopsy or fluid aspiration for microbiological analysis

We also work closely with infectious disease specialists to identify the exact organism causing the infection and determine the most effective antibiotic or antifungal therapy.

Our Treatment Approach

Each patient receives a customized treatment plan based on the severity, location, and type of infection. Treatment options include:

Non-Surgical Management:

Intravenous or oral antibiotics/antifungals for several weeks to months
Pain management and activity modification
Bracing for spinal support and stability

Surgical Intervention:

When non-surgical methods fail, or in cases of abscesses, deformity, or neurological compromise, we offer:
Surgical debridement to remove infected tissue
Spinal stabilization/fusion if there is instability
Drainage of abscesses using minimally invasive or open techniques

Our surgical team uses the latest techniques and intraoperative monitoring to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes.
