TB Spine Specialist For Spinal Tuberculosis Care in Chennai

Comprehensive spinal treatment includes infection control, expert surgery & safe recovery in Chennai.

Expert Care For Pott’s Disease With Advanced Spine Treatments

TB spine, also known as Pott's disease, is a serious infection that affects the bones of the spine. It starts when the bacteria that cause tuberculosis spread from the lungs or other parts of the body to the spinal column. As the infection grows, it damages the bones and discs of the spine. This can lead to back pain, stiffness, swelling, and, in advanced cases, weakness in the arms or legs. Early diagnosis is very important because when left untreated, TB spine can cause permanent damage to the spinal cord and nerves.

At Chennai Neuroscience Foundation, we offer focused care for spinal TB using a full team approach. Our center follows global treatment standards and uses the latest imaging tools and lab tests to confirm the condition early. Dr. Kodeeswaran Marappan leads our surgery team and brings a high level of skill to complex spinal care. He has performed over five thousand brain and spine surgeries and is known for handling delicate cases with strong outcomes. We make sure each patient gets personal care from diagnosis to recovery in a safe and well-equipped setting.

Symptoms of Spinal Tuberculosis & TB Spine Warning Signs

  • Persistent back pain not relieved by rest

    The pain stays for weeks and does not get better even with full rest.

  • Local tenderness over the spine

    Touching the spine feels sore or painful in a specific area without injury.

  • Unexplained weight loss or low-grade fever

    The body loses weight without effort and shows a mild fever that keeps returning.

  • Progressive stiffness or deformity

    Back starts to feel stiff or shows visible bend or curve in posture over time.

  • Numbness or weakness in limbs in severe cases

    In advanced stages, the infection may press nerves, causing limb weakness or tingling.

Pott's Disease Management & Spine Care Protocols at Chennai

Anti-tuberculosis drug regimen for 12 to 18 months

We start with a full course of anti-TB medication for the spine, which includes multiple drugs given in a planned schedule. This treatment aims to clear the infection completely while preventing relapse. Drug therapy remains the primary line of TB spine treatment without surgery when the condition is diagnosed early

Bracing to support spine during healing

We use custom-made spinal support braces to limit motion and reduce stress on the infected area. This helps the bones heal in the correct position and prevents spinal deformity during recovery. Wearing a brace also reduces pain and makes everyday movement safer.

Regular monitoring with imaging

We do regular MRI spine scans and blood tests to check how well the treatment is working. Our team tracks the progress closely to ensure there are no complications or worsening signs. This helps us adjust the treatment on time if needed

Decompression to relieve pressure on spinal cord

If the infection presses on the nerves, we do a spinal decompression surgery to remove the infected tissue. This helps release pressure on the spinal cord and improves symptoms like limb weakness or numbness

Stabilization using rods & screws

When the spine becomes unstable or weak, we use spinal fixation with rods and screws to support the area. This procedure restores alignment and allows patients to move safely during recovery. It also prevents future collapse of the spine.

Correction of spinal deformity if present

In severe cases where the spine becomes curved or bent, we perform spinal deformity correction surgery to restore posture and balance. Our goal is to preserve both the shape and function of the spine through precise techniques.

Know More About Pott's Disease Symptoms & Spinal TB Recovery

Constant back pain, tiredness, fever, or weight loss are the early signs. When severe, the patients experience numbness and weakness in the limbs.

Yes, the majority of the early forms of TB spine may be cured using anti-TB medication with the help of bracing, not surgery.

Surgery will be required when the patient is affected with nerve compression, spine deformity, or resistance to medicines even after months of treatment.

It normally requires about 12 to 18 months to treat the condition and may involve medication and follow-up imaging scans after every three to six months.

Most of the patients recover well, provided they are treated early. Even in healed cases, there may be some stiffness in the spine or some deformity in the advanced cases.

Active TB in lungs may be contagious, but TB of the spine itself is not directly contagious. Transmission can be stopped through decent treatment.
