Renowned Neuro and Spine Surgeon Dr. Ishtiyaq Shares Vital Health Insights
Sujanpur, May 17, 2025 — PMC Hospitals (A Unit of EMC Hospitals), Sujanpur, today hosted a special health awareness session focused on a topic often overlooked: “Possible Causes of Tingling in the Middle of the Back.” The aim of the session was to educate the general public about a symptom that may seem minor but could be indicative of serious neurological or spinal conditions.
The keynote speaker for the session was well-known neuro and spine surgeon Dr. Ishtiyaq, who provided valuable insights into the potential causes and treatment options related to this condition.
Dr. Ishtiyaq explained that tingling or numbness in the mid-back region can stem from various underlying causes. These include spinal cord compression, nerve inflammation, slipped disc, poor posture, diabetic neuropathy, or even a deficiency in Vitamin B12. He emphasized that if such symptoms persist — especially when accompanied by weakness, burning sensation, or difficulty in movement — they could signal more serious conditions such as spinal stenosis, multiple sclerosis, or herniated disc.
He further highlighted that prolonged sitting in the same posture, particularly due to excessive screen time on computers or mobile phones, is a leading cause of such spinal issues among today’s youth. In such cases, timely diagnostic tests and neurological evaluations are crucial.
During the session, Dr. Ishtiyaq advised that repeated tingling in the back should never be ignored. Maintaining a regular exercise routine, adopting proper posture, consuming a diet rich in essential vitamins, and seeking medical consultation at the first sign of trouble are essential steps for prevention and management. He warned that delayed diagnosis could potentially lead to permanent nerve damage.
The PMC Hospitals administration also shared that, as a unit of EMC Hospitals, the facility is equipped with advanced technologies and specialist services to handle spinal and neurological conditions. The hospital offers state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment options including neurosurgery, spine surgery, MRI, and EMG-NCV testing.
