Does a Back Crack Sound Mean Pain Relief? | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

👉 Many people believe that hearing a cracking sound in the back means the pain problem is solved.
But that’s not always true.

🔹 The crack sound usually comes from gas release inside the joint, not from disc correction
🔹 Temporary relief does not mean the spine is healed
🔹 Repeated self-cracking or forceful manipulation can worsen disc and joint problems
🔹 Back pain needs proper diagnosis, posture correction, exercises, and medical guidance

👉 Don’t confuse sound with solution.

✅ Real spine relief comes from the right treatment, not shortcuts.

📱💻 Using Phone & Laptop – Can It Cause Disc Problems? Doctor’s Warning ⚠️ | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

◼️ Excessive use of mobile phones and laptops can increase the risk of disc problems, especially when used with wrong posture.

👉 Constant head-down posture increases pressure on the neck and spine
👉 Long hours of sitting weaken back and core muscles
👉 Poor ergonomics lead to disc bulge, neck pain, and back pain

🫵 Your spine is not designed to bend forward for hours every day.

✅ Keep your screen at eye level
✅ Take a break every 30–40 minutes
✅ Maintain straight posture
✅ Strengthen your neck and back muscles

👉 Small posture corrections today can prevent serious spine problems tomorrow.

🚑 Why do doctors often feel dissatisfied while treating accident patients? | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

📌 Accident cases are not simple.
◼️ They come with multiple injuries, unclear history, delayed treatment, and unrealistic expectations.

👉 Many patients or attendants expect instant recovery, but trauma healing takes time, teamwork, and patience.

👉 Despite best efforts, outcomes may depend on injury severity, delay in first aid, and patient compliance.

👉 Doctors don’t give up — they fight against time to save life first, function next.

👉 Understanding this reality helps build trust between doctors and patients.

Is Endoscopic Spine Surgery Better? | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

👨‍⚕ Doctor’s Honest Opinion
👉 Endoscopic spine surgery is a minimally invasive technique, but it is not the best option for every patient.

🦴 What is Endoscopic Spine Surgery?
It uses a tiny camera and small incision to treat selected spine problems.

✅ Advantages
✔ Smaller incision
✔ Less muscle damage
✔ Reduced blood loss
✔ Faster recovery
✔ Shorter hospital stay

⚠️ Important Reality
❌ Not suitable for all spine conditions
❌ Not ideal for complex or unstable spine problems
❌ Surgeon experience matters more than technique

💡 Key Truth:
The best surgery is the one that suits your condition, not the latest trend.

👨‍⚕️ Doctor’s Advice
✔ Treatment should be personalized
✔ Surgery type depends on diagnosis, not marketing
✔ Proper evaluation gives the best long-term results

Back Pain Is Present, But MRI Is Normal – Why Does This Happen? | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

👉 Many patients worry when they have persistent back pain, but their MRI report shows “Normal.”
This situation is more common than you think.

🦴 Here’s the truth:
An MRI mainly shows structure, not always function or pain sources.

🔍 Possible Reasons for Back Pain with a Normal MRI

✔ Muscle strain or spasm
✔ Poor posture and prolonged sitting
✔ Weak core muscles
✔ Ligament or soft tissue stress
✔ Early-stage disc or joint irritation
✔ Nerve sensitivity without visible compression
✔ Stress-related muscle tightness

⚠️ Pain does not always mean serious damage.

👨‍⚕️ Important to Remember
✔ MRI is only one part of diagnosis
✔ Clinical examination is equally important
✔ Pain can exist even without visible MRI changes
✔ Early treatment prevents chronic pain

💡 Back pain should be treated based on symptoms, not MRI alone.

Back Pain: Indian Toilet or Western Toilet – Which Is Better? | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

📌 Many people with back pain ask:
❓ Should I use an Indian (squat) toilet or a Western toilet?

🦴 Here’s what spine experts say:
🚽 Indian Toilet (Squatting)

✅ Natural bowel movement position
✅ Less strain on intestines

❌ Not suitable if you have:

◼️Back pain

◼️Slip disc

◼️Knee pain

◼️Spine surgery history

⚠️ Deep squatting increases pressure on the spine and knees.

🚽 Western Toilet (Sitting)
✅ Less stress on the lower back
✅ Safer for elderly patients
✅ Recommended for:

◼️Back pain

◼️Sciatica

◼️Disc problems

◼️Post-spine surgery patients

💡 Using a small foot stool can further improve posture and comfort.

👨‍⚕️ Spine Specialist Advice
✔️ Choose comfort over habit
✔️ Avoid prolonged sitting or squatting
✔️ Don’t strain during bowel movements
✔️ Treat the root cause of back pain

📌 There is no “one toilet fits all” — your spine condition decides.

Pain in the Hand May Start From the Neck | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

🫵 Do you have hand pain, tingling, or numbness that doesn’t improve with medicines?

⚠️ The real problem may not be in the hand — it could be coming from your neck (cervical spine).

🦴 Common causes include:
• Cervical spondylosis
• Disc bulge or slipped disc
• Nerve compression in the neck
• Poor posture and prolonged mobile use

📍 When neck nerves get compressed, pain can travel to: ➡️ Shoulder
➡️ Arm
➡️ Forearm
➡️ Fingers

🚫 Treating only the hand may not give relief.

✅ Proper spine evaluation is essential, including:
✔️ Clinical examination
✔️ X-ray or MRI if required
✔️ Physiotherapy & posture correction
✔️ Targeted medications
✔️ Advanced spine care when needed

💡 Early diagnosis = faster recovery.

Are Neck Cracking Sounds Dangerous? | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

🫵 Do you often hear cracking or popping sounds while moving your neck?

🔊 These sounds are usually caused by:
✔️ Gas bubbles releasing inside the joints
✔️ Tight muscles or ligament movement
✔️ Sudden neck movements
✔️ Poor posture or long mobile usage

⚠️ When should you be careful?
❌ If the sound is accompanied by pain
❌ If there is stiffness or restricted movement
❌ If numbness or tingling spreads to the arms
❌ If headaches occur frequently

🚫 Repeated self-neck cracking can:
• Damage cervical joints
• Increase wear and tear
• Lead to chronic neck pain
• Cause long-term spine problems

✅ What you should do instead:
✔️ Maintain proper posture
✔️ Avoid sudden neck jerks
✔️ Perform guided neck exercises
✔️ Take breaks from mobile and laptop use
✔️ Consult a spine specialist if symptoms persist

💡 Remember: Not every neck sound is dangerous — but pain should never be ignored.

Importance of Keeping Your Head Up While Scrolling on the Phone | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

👉 Constantly bending your head down while using your mobile may look harmless — but it can seriously damage your spine.

📱 What happens when you scroll with your head down?
❌ Increased pressure on the neck
❌ Early cervical spine degeneration
❌ Muscle strain and stiffness
❌ Headaches and shoulder pain
❌ “Text neck” syndrome

⚠️ The human head weighs about 5 kg —
when bent forward, the pressure on your neck can increase up to 25–30 kg.

✅ Healthy phone habits:
✔️ Keep your phone at eye level
✔️ Maintain a straight neck posture
✔️ Take breaks every 20–30 minutes
✔️ Stretch your neck and shoulders regularly
✔️ Avoid long scrolling sessions

💡 Remember: A few seconds of poor posture today can lead to years of neck pain tomorrow.

Do Carbonated Drinks Cause Spine Problems? | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

🥤 How carbonated drinks affect the spine:
✔️ Reduce calcium absorption
✔️ Weaken bones over time
✔️ Increase risk of early degeneration
✔️ Affect disc and joint nutrition
✔️ Contribute to back and neck pain

⚠️ Excess intake may lead to:
• Weak bones
• Poor spinal support
• Higher risk of disc problems
• Long-term posture issues

💡 Healthy spine tip:
Limit soft drinks, stay hydrated with water, and maintain a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.

👉 Your daily habits decide your spine’s future.

Is Wearing High Heels the Main Reason for Lower Back Pain? | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

👠 High heels may look stylish — but they can seriously affect your spine health.

👠 How high heels cause back pain:
✔️ Shift your body weight forward
✔️ Increase pressure on the lower back
✔️ Alter natural spine posture
✔️ Tighten calf and hip muscles
✔️ Lead to chronic back and neck pain over time

⚠️ Regular use of high heels can result in:
• Persistent lower back pain
• Muscle imbalance
• Early spine degeneration
• Postural problems

👉 Wearing heels occasionally is fine —
but daily use can silently damage your spine.

💡 Choose comfort, maintain correct posture, and consult a spine specialist if pain persists.

Back Pain Cure With Oil Massage — Is It Really Effective? | Dr. Arun Kumar V | Best Spine Specialist | Vizag

👉 Oil massage can provide temporary relief, but it is not a permanent cure for back pain.

🧴 Benefits of oil massage:
✅ Relaxes tight muscles
✅ Improves blood circulation
✅ Reduces stiffness
✅ Gives short-term pain relief

⚠️ But remember:
❌ It does not fix disc problems
❌ It cannot correct nerve compression
❌ It doesn’t treat slip disc, sciatica, or spine degeneration

👉 If back pain keeps returning, the root cause must be diagnosed properly.

✔️ Accurate evaluation
✔️ Proper physiotherapy
✔️ Lifestyle correction
✔️ Advanced spine treatments when required

💡 Massage may help symptoms — but correct treatment heals the spine.
