About the Case Presentation

The approach to degenerative spine diseases involves a multidisciplinary strategy that combines conservative treatments with surgical options, depending on the severity and impact on a patient’s quality of life. Initial management typically includes physical therapy, pain management, and lifestyle modifications, while advanced cases may require surgical interventions like spinal fusion or decompression. The goal is to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve the patient’s overall well-being while minimizing risks.
