    Degenerative Spine Disorders

Degenerative Spine Disorders are among the most common causes of chronic neck pain, back pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. As we age, the discs, joints, and bones of the spine naturally undergo wear and tear, which can lead to pain, nerve compression, and difficulty performing everyday activities. Dr. Anuj Mundra, a Fellowship-trained Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon, provides comprehensive treatment for Degenerative Spine Disorders at Vasant Kunj. With over 11 years of experience, he specializes in both non-surgical and advanced surgical management, including minimally invasive and navigation-guided spine surgery.

His goal is to relieve pain, preserve spinal function, and help patients regain an active, pain-free lifestyle.


What are Degenerative Spine Disorders?

Degenerative Spine Disorders refer to age-related changes in the spine that affect the intervertebral discs, facet joints, ligaments, and vertebrae. These changes may gradually cause spinal instability, nerve compression, and chronic pain.

Although degeneration is a natural part of aging, factors such as poor posture, obesity, heavy physical work, smoking, previous injuries, and genetic predisposition can accelerate the process.
