🦴 Chronic back pain? It might be more than you think.

If you’re dealing with stiffness that lasts more than 30 minutes in the morning, pain that improves with movement, or discomfort that keeps you up at night — you could be experiencing Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

AS is a form of inflammatory arthritis that affects the spine and can lead to long-term joint damage if left untreated. Early diagnosis and treatment make a big difference!

👨‍⚕️ At Dr Chuah Orthopaedic & Spine Clinic, we specialize in spine and joint health — helping you move better, feel better, and live pain-free.

👣 Dealing with Heel Pain? It Could Be Plantar Fasciitis!

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It occurs when the thick band of tissue at the bottom of your foot (the plantar fascia) becomes inflamed. This can cause sharp, stabbing pain—especially with your first steps in the morning.

Common symptoms:
➡️ Heel pain or discomfort
➡️ Swelling or tenderness
➡️ Pain after long periods of standing or walking

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don't wait for the pain to get worse! We’re here to help you get back on your feet with effective treatment options. 👟💪

🦴 Spinal Tuberculosis: A Life-Changing Treatment Journey

Spinal tuberculosis (TB), also known as Pott's disease, can severely affect the vertebrae and spinal cord, leading to debilitating symptoms like chronic back pain, weakness, and even paralysis. In some cases, the infection causes compression fractures, as seen in the T11-T12 vertebrae in this patient.

👉 Swipe to see:

Pre-surgery MRI: Spinal tuberculosis with paravertebral and epidural abscesses, causing compression of the spinal cord.

Post-surgery X-ray: Successful decompression and stabilization with spinal fusion, helping the patient on the road to recovery.

Why it's important:
Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention can make a huge difference in preventing long-term complications and improving quality of life for those affected by tuberculous spondylitis.

🩺 If you or someone you know is suffering from persistent back pain or neurological symptoms, it’s crucial to consult a spine specialist for proper evaluation and treatment. Early treatment is key to avoiding permanent damage.

🦴 Pott’s Disease: When Tuberculosis Affects the Spine

Most people think of tuberculosis (TB) as a lung infection—but did you know it can also affect your spine?
Pott’s disease, also called spinal tuberculosis, happens when TB bacteria spread from the lungs to the spine, slowly damaging the bones and discs between them.

📍 Common symptoms include:
✔️ Chronic back pain that doesn’t go away
✔️ Fever, weight loss, or night sweats
✔️ Weakness or numbness in the legs (if the spinal cord is affected)
✔️ A hunched or deformed back in advanced cases

Swipe ➡️ to see an actual MRI of a patient with spinal TB, showing:
🔸 A compression fracture at the T11-T12 vertebrae
🔸 Paravertebral and epidural abscesses (pockets of infection around the spine)

👨‍⚕️ This condition can be serious but is treatable—especially if caught early. If you or someone you know has ongoing back pain along with signs of TB, don’t ignore it. Seek medical care from a spine specialist.

📍 Early detection can prevent permanent damage.
📍 Treatment usually involves medications for TB and sometimes surgery, depending on severity.
