Dr. Ashish S Naik

Spine Infections

Spinal infections, including discitis, osteomyelitis, and post-operative infections, can cause severe pain, fever, and neurological symptoms. These infections may occur due to bacteria, fungi, or other pathogens. Dr. Naik offers comprehensive care for patients with spinal infections, including diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive biopsies to identify the infection source. In cases where conservative treatments fail, Dr. Naik performs surgical debridement and stabilization procedures to control the infection and restore spinal function. His expertise in vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy further aids in the management of post-operative infections.
