Dr. Ashish S Naik

Spinal Tuberculosis

Spinal Tuberculosis, or Pott’s Disease, is a severe form of tuberculosis that affects the spine, leading to vertebral destruction, spinal deformity, and neurological deficits. Dr. Naik is skilled in diagnosing and treating this rare yet debilitating condition. Treatment typically involves a combination of anti-tubercular medication and, in more advanced cases, surgical intervention to stabilize the spine and prevent further damage. Surgery may include decompression of the spinal cord, abscess drainage, and spinal reconstruction to prevent or correct deformities such as kyphosis.
