What to Expect During Treatment
Your Spine Trauma Care journey begins with an urgent and comprehensive neurosurgical assessment during which Dr. Amjad Alsaeed will thoroughly evaluate your neurological status, injury mechanism, symptoms, and emergency imaging results including CT scans, MRI, and X-rays to accurately identify the location, type, and severity of your spinal injury. This rapid and thorough assessment is essential to determine the most appropriate and urgent treatment approach required to stabilize your spine and protect neurological function.

FAQ
Answers to common questions about our services, care approach, and appointments.
What is Spine Trauma Care?
Spine Trauma Care is a specialized neurosurgical service dedicated to the emergency assessment, stabilization, and surgical treatment of spinal injuries caused by accidents, falls, sports injuries, and other traumatic events affecting the spine and spinal cord.
What types of spinal injuries does your center treat?
Our Spine Trauma Care service treats vertebral fractures, spinal dislocations, spinal cord injuries, ligament injuries, traumatic disc herniations, burst fractures, compression fractures, and other complex spinal injuries resulting from traumatic events.
What are the most common causes of spinal trauma?
Common causes of spinal trauma include road traffic accidents, falls from height, sports injuries, diving accidents, workplace injuries, and direct blows to the spine causing fractures, dislocations, or spinal cord damage.
What are the warning signs of a serious spinal injury?
Warning signs of a serious spinal injury include severe neck or back pain following trauma, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, muscle weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, difficulty breathing, and any loss of movement or sensation below the injury level.
Is Spine Trauma Care always surgical?
Not all spinal injuries require surgery. Some stable fractures and minor spinal injuries can be managed conservatively with bracing, pain management, and physiotherapy. Our neurosurgeon will determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on your specific injury.
How quickly should spinal trauma be treated?
Spinal trauma should be evaluated and treated as quickly as possible. Prompt medical attention significantly reduces the risk of permanent neurological damage, especially in cases involving spinal cord compression or unstable spinal fractures.
What surgical treatments are available for spinal trauma?
Surgical treatments for spinal trauma include spinal decompression, vertebral fracture fixation with rods and screws, spinal fusion, Kyphoplasty for compression fractures, and other advanced neurosurgical procedures tailored to the specific injury pattern and neurological status.
Can full recovery be achieved after spinal trauma?
Recovery outcomes depend on the severity and location of the spinal injury and the promptness of surgical intervention. Many patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries achieve meaningful neurological recovery with prompt surgery and comprehensive rehabilitation support.
