Diagnosis

Diagnosing spinal TB involves a combination of clinical evaluation and imaging studies

X-raysOften the first imaging tool used to identify disc height loss and vertebral destruction.

MRIThe preferred method for assessing soft tissue involvement and spinal cord compression.

BiopsyA definitive method for confirming the diagnosis by identifying the presence of TB bacteria.

Laboratory TestsElevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and other inflammatory markers may support the diagnosis.

Treatment

The management of spinal TB typically involves

Drug TherapyA regimen of anti-TB medications is recommended, usually lasting 6 to 12 months.

Surgical Intervention: Indicated in cases of severe deformity or neurological compromise. Surgery aims to remove infected tissue, stabilise the spine, and relieve pressure on the spinal cord.

RehabilitationA tailored physiotherapy program for at least 6 weeks with exercises to strengthen and improve mobility of the limbs, provide pain relief and improved functional abilities.

Breathing and postural correction exercises along with sensory-reeducation.

By combining expertise in infectious diseases with specialised spinal care and rehabilitation, NSH Center strives to deliver optimal outcomes for individuals affected by spine tuberculosis.
