Spine injuries can be devastating, affecting not only our physical health but also our overall well-being. Whether caused by accidents, sports injuries, or degenerative conditions, these injuries can lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, and a diminished quality of life. In such cases, the role of physiotherapy in spine injury rehabilitation cannot be overstated. Physiotherapy plays a pivotal role in the recovery process and how the Indian Spine Injury Center (ISIC) can provide specialized care to individuals seeking to regain their strength and mobility.

Spine injuries encompass a wide range of conditions, from herniated discs to fractures and spinal cord injuries. The severity of these injuries can vary greatly, but one thing remains constant: the need for comprehensive rehabilitation. Physiotherapy is an essential component of this rehabilitation process, aiming to address pain, improve mobility, and enhance the patient’s overall quality of life.

The Role of Physiotherapy in Spine Injuries

An evaluation with a rehabilitation professional is recommended for anyone with severe head or neck injury, pain or numbness over back, arm or leg, changes in sensation of arm and leg. The rehabilitation professional will do a thorough examination including posture, movement of spine, strength of paraspinal muscles, pain analysis, spasm and tenderness assessment. Physiotherapy plays a key role in recovery and long-term management of spinal ailments and provides a multifaceted approach including pain management, mobility restoration, prevention of secondary ailments and recovery from ailment. Some of the aspects of rehabilitation are outlined below-

 Spine injuries often lead to excruciating pain, which can be debilitating. Physiotherapists are trained to assess and manage pain effectively. Through techniques such as manual therapy, exercises, and modalities like heat and cold therapy, they can help alleviate pain, allowing patients to focus on their recovery.

 Loss of mobility is a common consequence of spine injuries. Physiotherapy focuses on restoring mobility by targeting specific muscle groups and joints through carefully tailored exercises and stretching routines. These exercises not only improve range of motion but also prevent further complications like muscle atrophy and joint stiffness.

 Building core strength and overall body strength is crucial for spine injury rehabilitation. Physiotherapists design strength training programs that not only help patients regain their physical prowess but also provide the necessary stability to support the spine.

 Proper posture is essential for spine health. Physiotherapists educate patients on maintaining correct posture during daily activities, reducing the risk of further injury.

 The ultimate goal of physiotherapy in spine injury rehabilitation is to help patients regain their functional independence. This involves retraining the body to perform activities of daily living, such as walking, bending, lifting, and more, safely and efficiently.

The Role of Physiotherapy in Spine Injury Rehabilitation

The Indian healthcare sector faces several challenges, which can be dubbed as unique for the country. The challenges such as health infrastructure, shortage of professionals, quality, accessibility and affordability need unique solutions to overcome them. Over the years, technology and innovations have emerged as one of the most effective solutions to address many challenges. Innovative business models and new technologies have become a force multiplier to solve both problems of accessibility and affordability. With disruptions, Indian healthcare institutions are making all efforts to meet the challenges of the rising dual disease burden in the country.

The introduction of new technologies in healthcare has revolutionized the way healthcare services are delivered, making them more accessible, efficient, and effective. One of the major advantages of new technologies in healthcare is the ability to diagnose and treat diseases more accurately and quickly. Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic tools and precision medicine have the potential to revolutionize the way doctors diagnose and treat diseases, providing better outcomes for patients. The introduction of telemedicine has also played a significant role in increasing access to healthcare services, especially in remote areas of the country.

Combining Natural with Artificial Intelligence

Opportunities that weren’t available or recognised before are now available thanks to AI. With efficiency akin to that of a human or even greater when using big data and algorithms, these mechanisms are capable of sensing and understanding data. On the basis of the patient’s signs, symptoms, and other reports, datasets with the assistance of algorithm intelligence assist in correlating the patient’s diagnosis with other similar cases. Some applications include using AI to analyse unstructured data and predictive modelling to manage patient flow and hospital capacity allocation. AI has been radically changing the face of care delivery. It will read X-rays and send the reports to the concerned centre. Datasets with the help of algorithm intelligence help in corroborating the patient’s diagnosis with other similar cases based on signs, symptoms and other reports. To leverage the full potential of AI, India needs to train a large number of health professionals, not only doctors and nurses but technicians and machine operators. Here, it is necessary to combine natural intelligence and training with AI.

Healthcare institutions are mainly incorporating four types of technologies to improve their services. First of all, they are adopting state-of-the-art technologies specifically designed for clinical purposes. Highly advanced radiology and imaging, MRI machines, robots, and minimally invasive surgery techniques have been adopted to enhance clinical outcomes and patient experience. A case in point is Indian Spinal Injuries Centre where all old equipment has been replaced by new ones. All assets, resources and technologies are being used sensibly. It is the first centre outside the USA to have the Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic guidance system supported by O-arm Surgical Imaging System. With features such as customizable implant selection, optimal implant trajectories and 3D analytics, Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic guidance system allows medical professionals to plan treatment while the procedure is on.

Next, hospitals are integrating user-friendly tools that incorporate information technology-driven processes and procedures. This allows them to streamline their workflows and provide more convenient services to patients. Thirdly, health institutions are also leveraging productive technologies that enable their employees to work more efficiently and effectively. Finally, data analytics and related tools enhance their hospital management system.

All these innovations and technologies enable hospitals to make data-driven decisions, optimize resource allocation, and enhance patient outcomes. Health institutions need to integrate entire settings and services with an efficient information system with collaborative disruption. Collaborations with Med Tech, Pharma, Insurance and other supply chain logistics among others help a lot in the efficient management of the entire continuum of care from Admission to Discharge.

The introduction of new technologies in healthcare has also had a significant impact on the overall cost of healthcare services in India. By reducing the need for hospitalization and enabling early detection of diseases, new technologies have helped in reducing the overall cost of healthcare services. This has made healthcare more affordable and accessible to a larger section of the population, leading to better health outcomes for all. As innovations aim at affordability, health institutions have been witnessing the creation of a robust supply chain as well. The whole supply chain logistics has been undergoing a transition. Due to disruption a powerful supply chain model is being created. This new model with the changing nature of supply chain logistics also brought services and products closer to the patients.

The role and importance of new technologies and innovations in the Indian healthcare sector cannot be undermined in any way. From better diagnosis and treatment to disease prevention and management, new technologies have transformed the way healthcare services are delivered in India. As the healthcare sector continues to evolve, it is likely that new technologies will continue to play an increasingly important role in improving the quality of healthcare services and making them more accessible and affordable to all. Going forward, Virtual health will integrate virtual consults, remote diagnosis, teleradiology, telepathology, home healthcare, digital therapeutics, data monitoring, e-pharmacy, and clinical decision support systems. Virtual health will be the norm as it offers enormous advantages over physical consults.

Importance of being Independent in Daily Life

People believe that arthritis is a natural at old age and everyone will experience it at some point in their lives. However, we observe many seniors around us who do not complain about joint pains. It is crucial to realise that joint problems are not caused solely by old age. However, several lifestyle choices result in weak bones and joint issues. But we have power over them. You may reduce your rate of bone loss and live a healthy life by avoiding these habits. You can be sure that the following behaviours will harm the condition of your bones.

 - A diet lacking in calcium increases the risk of fractures, early bone loss, and lower bone density.

Alcohol and tobacco use can lower bone mineral density. Stop drinking alcohol, chewing tobacco, and smoking.

 - Severely reducing food intake and being underweight impair bone in both men and women.

 - As you become older, your bones get thinner and weaker.

Osteoporosis risk is higher for those who are not physically active.

 - Long-term usage of corticosteroid medications such as prednisone, cortisone, prednisolone, and dexamethasone is harmful to bone.

Too much salt in food-There is clearly a connection between eating a lot of salt and having low bone density. Your body releases more calcium in your urine when your sodium intake increases.

Obesity can put strain on your joints and create pain. Getting rid of extra pounds eases this strain and lessens pain. Consult a doctor and try to lose a few pounds to relieve some of the strain on your joints and prevent further deterioration.

 For a healthy life, one needs a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and dairy products. Bone health depends on dietary elements like calcium, magnesium, and potassium as well as vitamins like vitamin D.

Giving rest to Muscles can help minimise swelling and inflammation. You can better control your discomfort if you get adequate sleep at night.

Exercise makes the muscles around your joints more robust, which may ease stiffness. On alternate days of the week, try to get in at least 20 to 30 minutes of light to moderate physical activity. Pick mild, low-impact exercises like swimming, jogging, or walking. Yoga is also highly beneficial for managing pain and increasing joint flexibility.

 Correct posture while sitting and standing helps to prevent back and other joint problems.

When you have a condition or accident that affects your bones, ligaments, tendons, or muscles, your primary care physician may not be able to give full therapy. This is where orthopedists, or orthopaedic doctors, can help you.

If you notice chronic pain, even after 10 weeks.

Stiffness or trouble standing or walking.

If you have been injured and are not improving after 48 hours, etc.

Some of the common conditions that patients are referred to orthopaedic doctors for include:

The team of doctors at the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre(ISIC) is qualified and board-certified. The speciality associated with injury and fracture care has seen significant evolution and knowledge explosion in the past two decades. At the ISIC, the department of orthopaedics is committed to offering skilled treatment for all musculoskeletal disorders.

The world has come to a halt, with COVID-19 a highly contagious disease spreading rapidly, every day throughout the world. The disease was first identified in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province in China in December 2019 and spread quickly due to its highly contagious nature, to become a global pandemic. The perils of the pandemic have infected over 9 million people and have claimed over 472K lives throughout the world. India alone has more than 4 lakh confirmed cases and reported 14,011 deaths, until now.

Since a cure or vaccine to counter the effects of the Coronavirus has not discovered yet, people became homebound to stop the spread of the disease. It is advisable for everyone to stay at home in order to stay safe and only step out if essential. To contain the spread of Coronavirus, governments of many countries announced “lockdown.”

This “lockdown” has made people scared to step out of their house even in a dire situation. Many people have been ignoring major health issues and barding themselves from visiting a hospital to avoid catching Coronavirus.

Contrary to this, an individual should be more conscious about their health now more than ever and seek medical care even at the tiniest inconvenience.

The hospital cares about its patients and hence it adheres to all the guidelines of the government and takes all the necessary steps to ensure the safety of its patient.

From patients to health care experts, support staff, doctors. Everyone will go through thermal screening at the entrance. Any patient with a temperature of 100.0°F or more will be taken to special care facilities.

Wearing a mask is compulsory. The health and safety of a patient should be the prior most concern and hence no individual will be allowed to enter the hospital without wearing a mask.

Every patient and staff will be asked to maintain social distancing. Every patient will be seated apart, at a distance of at least one meter, to ensure the safety and well being of all the patients.

To ensure the well being and safety of all the patients, the premises of the hospital is regularly sanitized along with the pieces of equipment.

Hand hygiene is extremely crucial at all times. In order to maintain hygienic conditions, hand sanitizers are installed throughout the hospital premises and used by all the doctors and support staff. Every patient is advised to sanitize their hands before seeing the doctor.

All the Doctors, support staff that come in the contact of the patient will be donning essential protective gear, to save themselves and their patients from the perils of this pandemic and to help contain the spread of the virus throughout the hospital premises.

To contain the spread of coronavirus at the hospital premises, a separate special ward has been dedicated to COVID 19 patients only. Only trained nurses and special doctors will be allowed to enter the facility after donning proper protective equipment and gears.

So don’t ignore the signs and be afraid to visit a hospital. Any ignored symptom can pose a bigger threat for tomorrow. Taking a risk of your health at tough times like these is strictly unadvisable and dangerous on many levels, as you might not just risk your life but the life of your loved ones too.

Novel coronavirus has bought the world to a standstill. Since a vaccine to counter the effects of this virus hasn’t been found, people have made several lifestyle changes to protect themselves. Wearing a mask, staying indoors, working from home has been all part of this new normal.

With the number of COVID-19 cases increasing every day, people have been avoiding stepping out of their homes – even if it is for medical assistance. To help people get timely medical help, without being worried about exposure, most hospitals including Indian Spinal Injuries Centre are encouraging and promoting tele-consultation services, which allows people to get the get medical guidance from the comfort and safety of their homes,

Tele-consultation services are a safe and effective way of remote consultation between a physician and their patient. It amply serves the purpose of providing diagnostic or therapeutic advice through electronic means. In a pandemic like situation, tele-consultation can be an essential tool to assess suspected cases and minimize the risk of disease transmission.

The pandemic saw a surge in the number of people seeking tele-consultation over the face to face visits, here’s why:

Tele-consultation minimizes chances of exposure and spread of the virus:

Tele-consultation is helping all the patients to stay connected with doctors, even in a pandemic situation. With the help of telecommunication, symptomatic patients and people suffering from other medical ailments can receive medical care from the comforts and safety of their homes. The patients need not enter medical facilities, minimizing their risk of contracting the virus. In the case of a patient with chronic disease, it is suggested to schedule tele-consultations to avoid face-to-face clinic visits and hence minimize their risks of exposure to COVID-19.

Reduced risk & pressure on healthcare workers:

The tele-consultation or telemedicine services can help physicians to treat and communicate with symptomatic patients, through virtual channels, helping to reduce the spread of the virus to mass populations and the medical staff on the frontlines. It also reduces hospital support staff’s people management pressure.

Healthcare institutions have been burdened by the constantly surging COVID 19 cases, and tele-consultation came as a sigh of relief. The tele-consultation will help reduce the influx of in-person visits, allowing doctors to help a large number of patients in less time. With the help of state-of-the-art technology, hospitals have decided to replace their chatbots with conversational virtual assistants to manage phone consultations.

Even before the pandemic situation, tele-consultation was a huge development in the healthcare sector, enabling doctors to help patients in a remote or distant area that lack medical resources. Telemedicine helped boost accessibility, optimizing productivity, and reduce the cost of healthcare.

Every physician or medi-care institute makes sure that the virtual platform for providing remote care and consultation is easy to use and access. The apps or platform used by the hospital might have a state-of-the-art technology, but are extremely user friendly and easy to operate.

A positive mind is the powerhouse of confidence. It even reduces the likelihood of developing conditions such as hypertension, depression and other stress-related disorders.  But as the world is engulfed with the coronavirus, it’s imperative that we should keep our minds focused and positive to fight against the pandemic. If we focus on positive emotions more than the negative ones then automatically we start viewing our own situation from a constructive perspective no matter how helpless it seems initially.

While feelings of stress, anxiety and negative thoughts are completely normal in such unprecedented times but overcoming such feelings of distress lies in our own hands. Stress can cause an excess of the hormone cortisol in our bodies, which increases our vulnerability to depression. It also shrinks our synapses, making us less able to think clearly and work productively. Meanwhile, adrenaline (the anxiety chemical) has been shown to have an adverse effect on our immune system – the very last thing anyone needs, at the moment.

Here are some ways of managing your mental health and regulating your chemical balance, while you are stuck indoors:

Limit your access to social media and news

Social media and news channels are full of negative news related to Coronavirus. All these pieces of information make us anxious and worried about the current scenario, thereby making us more prone to pessimism. But that doesn’t mean one should start living under the rock. You can check the social media and news once in a day to stay updated as government is implementing new guidelines every other day. Rest of the time, you can focus on your daily stuff and can switch off all news feeds and email alerts.

No matter how grave your situation looks like at this moment, don’t forget that you are still better than millions in the world. So, always express your gratitude to the people around you be it your family members or friends. If you will continue doing it, you expand your life state and in a way become happy and helpful about the situation. Make it a daily routine of expressing your gratitude to others the moment you wake up.  Make a list of such people whom you can express your gratitude too. Do something for them. Call them and check on their health and if they need any assistance from you.

Our brain has 1000 thoughts in just a second’s time. So, at times it invents catastrophic future scenarios, which makes us, wonder, what will happen if something of this or that sort happens. But when such thoughts come in your mind, it is important that you check your thoughts, and change them and try to think about something positive.  You should think that if the worst also happens, you will fight with it and become victorious in the end. When you have the fighting spirit, it’s comforting. In the end, it is best to keep yourself in a positive zone and in an environment which is productive and also tell your brain that everything would be OK, in the future.

Kidneys are one of the most vital organs in the human body that performs many significate functions to keep the blood clean and chemically balanced.

There are a number of functions performed by the two kidneys in our body, such as filtering the blood to get rid of waste products of metabolism and keeping the electrolytes (sodium and potassium) and water content of the body constant, and many more.

When the kidneys do not function properly, there are harmful toxins and excess fluids that build up in the body, which may cause kidney failure.

Three aspects that play a crucial role in the assistance of kidney disease which are:

 Kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin, which tells your body to make Red Blood Cells. As the kidneys fail, they make less EPO. With fewer red blood cells to carry oxygen to your muscles and brain, they tire very quickly.

 When there are fewer RBCs in your body you tend to have anemia. Anemia gives you a cold feeling all the time, even in a warm too.

 The two reasons for shortness of breath are first, the excess fluid in the body can accumulate in the lungs, secondly, anemia also leads to this.

 Anemia which is relatable to kidney failure causes your brain to not get enough oxygen. This case can lead to feeling faint, dizzy, or weak.

: Anemia overseas to your brain is not getting enough oxygen. This can create memory crises or trouble concentrating.

When the kidneys fail to do their job. The build-up wastes in your blood can cause severe itching in your body.

 When kidney failure happens it doesn’t remove extra fluid, that’s why it builds up in your body causing swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, and hands.

 This led to builds of fluid in your body affecting swelling in the face.

Wastes i.e. called uremia in the blood can make food taste varied and cause bad breath. It may be noticeable to you stop liking to eat flesh, or that you might be losing weight because you just don’t feel like eating something.

Feels like pee, so getting up during the night to make urine:  The damage to the kidney may make you urinate more often, or in enormous amounts than usual, with pale urine. Also, there may be feelings of pressure or have difficulty urinating.

  The above-normal amount of protein in the urine may lead to foamy and bubbly urine.

A terrible build-up of wastes in the blood known as uremia can also lead to nausea and vomiting.
