🎯 How severe can back pain be?

It’s not always “just pain.”
A slipped disc can compress spinal nerves — leading to:
🔹 Neurological weakness
🔹 Foot drop (dragging of the foot while walking)
🔹 Loss of bladder or bowel control in severe cases (Cauda Equina Syndrome)

This isn’t just orthopedic — it’s neurosurgical.

Early MRI and timely intervention can prevent permanent damage.

Don’t ignore the warning signs.

🤔Reading a spinal MRI isn’t just about identifying what’s wrong — it’s about analyzing every detail with precision, anticipating potential risks, and most importantly, explaining it in a way the patient can truly understand.

🧠 WORLD HEPATITIS DAY 2025

Most people think hepatitis only affects the liver.

But very few realize —

When the liver starts failing, the brain begins to suffer too.

Through a network called the liver-brain axis, toxins like ammonia start affecting mental clarity, mood, memory, and sleep.

This isn't just internal damage —
It’s a silent neurological crisis.

As a neurosurgeon, I’ve seen how chronic liver conditions often mimic psychiatric illness or memory disorders —
but the root lies deeper.

🩺 This World Hepatitis Day, we must look beyond enzymes and liver scans.

Let’s ask a deeper question:

Is your brain silently paying the price of liver disease?

Neuroscience teaches us about neural networks.
Spirituality teaches us about inner networks.
Lord Shiva symbolizes the perfect harmony between both.

In a world filled with overstimulation, the ability to be still — to be truly conscious — is the highest form of health.
This Sawan Shivratri, may we all tap into the deeper layers of mental peace, emotional regulation, and inner balance.

Wishing you a day of thoughtful reflection and powerful healing.

🧠 Let’s talk about Tractography — the brain’s internal roadmap.
Before brain surgery, one of the biggest challenges is protecting the areas that control how we move, speak, and live.

Imagine your brain as a busy city —
Thousands of nerve tracts work like highways, carrying signals for movement, speech, and memory.

But when a brain tumor grows, it can push, press, or damage these critical pathways.

🎯 This is where Tractography helps.

It’s an advanced MRI technique that maps the exact route of these vital circuits — even when a tumor is nearby.
Think of it like Google Maps for the brain — helping the neurosurgeon find the safest way to reach the tumor without harming important areas.

✅ Removes the tumor with high precision
✅ Protects motor & speech areas
✅ Reduces the risk of long-term damage

🧠 This is not just brain surgery —
It’s precision neurosurgery that preserves your quality of life.

🧠 Why Do We Get Headaches?

Anxiety could be the hidden culprit.

👉 Headaches aren’t always caused by physical strain or dehydration.
In many cases, emotional stress and anxiety can trigger tension-type headaches — dull, constant, and draining.

🔍 How does anxiety cause headaches?

Constant muscle tension (especially neck/shoulders)

Poor sleep due to racing thoughts

Overthinking and emotional burnout

🚨 When to take it seriously?

If your headache: ✅ Happens frequently
✅ Gets worse with stress
✅ Comes with poor sleep or mood swings

It’s time to consult a specialist.

💉 Precision Shoulder Pain Relief | Rotator Cuff Syndrome & Injection Treatment

🔹 Why does rotator cuff syndrome happen?
Rotator cuff syndrome occurs when the muscles and tendons around the shoulder joint become weak, inflamed, or injured — often due to overuse, ageing, or trauma. This leads to pain, stiffness, weakness, and restricted shoulder movement, making even simple daily tasks difficult.

🔹 How can it be treated?
✅ Ultrasound-guided pain injections deliver targeted, precise relief by reducing inflammation at the source of pain.
✅ Ensures minimal risk and maximum safety.
✅ Promotes faster recovery and restored function, helping patients regain mobility and comfort.

🧠 ANTI-DRUG-DAY

🤔Addiction is a Brain Disease – Not a Weakness

Is addiction just a bad habit? No — it’s a disorder of the brain.

Whether it’s drugs, alcohol, gaming, or even social media —
addiction is driven by the brain’s dopamine-based reward system,
which compels individuals to repeat behaviors that give temporary pleasure.

🔬 While counseling and medication help many —
neuroscience now offers new hope for severe cases.

🧠 Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a breakthrough neurosurgical technique
that targets the brain’s reward centers to reduce cravings and dependency in drug-resistant addiction.

🩺 Dr. Himanshu Champaneri,
Consultant Neurosurgeon (Functional & Epilepsy Surgery),
explains how modern brain science is changing the way we treat addiction.

Let’s break the stigma, understand the science, and support recovery with compassion.

🧠 Understanding Epilepsy & Its Surgical Treatment – By Dr. Himanshu Champaneri

At
The 4th Meeting of the Young Neurosurgeons Forum of the Neurological Society of India

Speaker: Dr. Himanshu Champaneri – Functional and Epilepsy Neurosurgeon

🩺 Presentation Overview:

1. What is Epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a brain disorder where nerve cell activity becomes disturbed.

This causes seizures – which can be jerking movements, loss of awareness, or unusual behavior.

It's a neurological condition, not a mental illness.

👉 Imagine a short circuit in the brain – that’s what a seizure is.

2. What is Drug-Resistant Epilepsy (DRE)?

Most epilepsy patients get relief from medicines.

But 30–40% of patients don’t respond to medicines.
➤ This condition is called Drug-Resistant Epilepsy (DRE).

💊 How do you know if it's DRE?

If seizures continue even after trying two proper anti-seizure medications, it’s drug-resistant.

3. Why Surgery is Needed in DRE:

When medicines fail, surgery becomes the best hope.

Surgery doesn’t mean open-brain surgery in all cases – there are many modern, less invasive techniques.

The goal is: Stop seizures OR Reduce their frequency and improve the patient’s life.

🔍 Dr. Himanshu’s Slide: Surgical Treatment Approaches

Dr. Himanshu explained 3 main types of epilepsy surgeries:

✅ 1. Resection / Disconnection

This is the main surgical treatment for DRE.

The part of the brain causing seizures is either:

Removed (resection)

Disconnected from other brain areas

Best for focal epilepsy (where the seizure starts in one area).

✅ 2. Lesioning (Stereotactic Surgery)

If seizure origin is deep inside the brain, where open surgery isn’t safe…

Stereotactic lesioning is used:
➤ A focused beam or electrode burns that area.

Very precise, safe, and less invasive.

✅ 3. Neuromodulation Devices

If surgery isn’t possible, then use implanted devices:

VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulation)

DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation)

RNS (Responsive Neurostimulation)

These devices send controlled signals to the brain to prevent seizures.

🎯 Main Message Dr. Himanshu Delivered:

> "Epilepsy is curable in many cases – especially Drug-Resistant ones – with proper surgical evaluation and modern techniques."

📣 Why This is Important for Social Media:

This isn’t just a conference update – it’s an awareness message:

Many epilepsy patients don’t know surgery can help.

People fear brain surgery, but modern methods are safe & effective.

Parents of kids with epilepsy, or adults with uncontrolled seizures, should know they have hope beyond medicines.
