Orthopedics, Sports Medicine, and Physiotherapy

Spinal Disorders & Therapies

Addressing spinal conditions demands a multidisciplinary understanding of biomechanics, pathology, and targeted therapies. This session examines prevalent disorders such as disc herniation, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. Diagnostic imaging, physical examination techniques, and differential diagnoses will be discussed in the context of clinical decision-making. Treatment modalities range from conservative approaches such as manual therapy, core stabilization, and traction to surgical interventions including spinal decompression and fusion. The integration of physiotherapy post-surgery, pain management strategies, and long-term mobility enhancement will also be explored. Innovations in spinal implants, navigation-guided surgery, and motion preservation devices are highlighted, emphasizing patient-centered care and functional outcomes.
