Spine


 


 

The spine is one of the most important structures in the human body, protecting the spinal cord and allowing us to move around the trunk. However, it can be affected by various conditions, such as herniated discs, spondylosis and spondylolisthesis, which can cause severe pain and compromise quality of life.

These pathologies, which involve the wear and tear or displacement of discs and vertebrae, affect both the cervical and lumbar regions, with symptoms that can radiate to the limbs and cause difficulties in movement.

At Grupo HPA Saúde we offer specialised treatment, with precise diagnosis and personalised therapeutic approaches, always focused on the recovery and well-being of our patients.

Spinal pathologies

Hérnias discais

Herniated Discs

A herniated disc is a condition that affects the spine, particularly the lumbar and cervical regions, and is often associated with localized pain that radiates to the limbs depending on its location. It involves damage to the intervertebral disc, which serves as a cushion between the vertebrae. When the disc degenerates or ruptures, its inner gel-like material can compress nearby nerves, causing pain.

Espondilopatia

Spondylopathy

Spondylosis is a degenerative condition of the spine that primarily affects the joints and intervertebral discs. It is commonly seen in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions, often resulting from the natural aging process. Known as spinal osteoarthritis, it involves the progressive wear of the spine's structures, leading to pain, stiffness, and sometimes limited movement.

espondilolistese

Spinal Instabilit

Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra in the spine shifts forward in relation to the vertebra below, resulting in instability and potential compression of the spinal nerves. This slippage can occur in various parts of the spine, but it is most common in the lumbar region (lower back). Spondylolisthesis can be a painful condition and, in severe cases, can affect mobility and the patient's quality of life.
