TMH Spine Clinic: A First in Jharkhand
Jamshedpur, March 5: Tata Main Hospital (TMH) has taken a significant step in advanced healthcare with the inauguration of its Spine Clinic and Stroke Unit on March 4, 2025. The facilities were inaugurated by Chanakya Chaudhary, Vice President, Corporate Services, Tata Steel, marking a major milestone in specialized medical care in Jharkhand.
TMH Spine Clinic: A First in Jharkhand
The TMH Spine Clinic aims to provide a single-window solution for patients suffering from complex spinal problems, including back pain and neck pain, which are among the most common health issues. Studies suggest that almost every individual experiences these issues at least once in their lifetime. The causes of such pain vary and often require treatment from different specialists, such as neurosurgeons, pain physicians, orthopedic doctors, and physiotherapists.
To streamline treatment, TMH Spine Clinic enables multi-specialty consultations in a single visit. After an initial evaluation by the neurosurgery team, patients requiring additional consultations with pain physicians, orthopedic specialists, or physiotherapists will be referred immediately with assistance from TMH staff. This collaborative approach ensures comprehensive and efficient medical care.
A multidisciplinary spine clinic is a well-established concept in Western countries such as the United States and Europe. Over the past decade, similar centers have been set up in metro cities across India, but TMH Spine Clinic will be the first of its kind in Jharkhand, bringing world-class spinal care to the region.
TMH Stroke Unit: Speedy Care for Stroke Patients
Alongside the Spine Clinic, TMH also launched its Stroke Unit to provide critical and time-sensitive care to patients suffering from stroke-related paralysis. Stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate intervention to minimize long-term disability.
The TMH Stroke Unit is equipped with a specialized team of neurologists, nurses, therapists, and support staff trained in stroke management. The unit is designed to deliver rapid treatment, especially for patients who arrive within 4.5 hours of a stroke event. With advanced clot-dissolving treatments, paralysis reversal can be achieved within minutes, significantly improving patient outcomes.
This new facility at TMH reinforces the hospital’s commitment to high-quality, specialized healthcare and is expected to benefit countless patients across Jharkhand.
