Spinal Infection & Osteomyelitis

Battling with spinal infection and osteomyelitis can be tough, drain your energy and might even impact your quality of life. Frequently, they are caused by infections of either bacteria or fungi, leading to inflammation, pain, and, if not controlled properly, damage to the spine.Dr. Michael is your partner along your road to healing.

Precise Diagnosis: Identifying Signs of Spinal Infection

Diagnosing spinal infection and osteomyelitis is complicated, so the doctor prescribes thorough treatment to isolate the cause and reveal the condition’s spreading. These infections tend to come through many avenues, including surgery, spinal cord damage, or traumatic injury of the spine. Typically, diagnosis is done by combining clinical exams, imaging studies such as MRI or CT scanning that can identify infection sources, and laboratory tests to determine the causative agent and therefore identify the optimal treatment strategy.

Tailored Treatment Plans for Lasting Relief

Following a thorough evaluation, we collaborate with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve lasting relief and prevent future complications. His treatment options may include:

  • Antibiotic therapy: Administered orally, intravenously, or through a combination of both, antibiotics are the cornerstone of treatment for bacterial spinal infections. We carefully select the most appropriate antibiotics based on the identified pathogen and the patient’s medical history.
  • Surgical intervention: In cases of severe or refractory spinal infection, surgical intervention may be necessary to debride infected tissue, drain abscesses, or stabilize the spine. Our skilled surgeons employ minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to minimize tissue trauma and hasten recovery.
  • Collaborative care and follow-up: Throughout the treatment process, we maintain open communication with patients and their healthcare providers, ensuring continuity of care and optimal outcomes. We provide ongoing monitoring, rehabilitation services, and support to facilitate a smooth recovery and promote long-term spinal health.
