Spinal Tuberculosis (TB): Assessment, Treatment & Recovery

Spinal tuberculosis is an infection that can affect vertebrae and nearby tissues. Diagnosis and treatment require medical assessment and a coordinated plan.

What we assess and consider

Clinical evaluation, imaging and appropriate laboratory or tissue tests; specialist-led anti-tuberculosis treatment; surgery may be considered for selected complications such as instability or neurological compromise.

Common reasons for assessment

  • Persistent spinal pain with systemic symptoms
  • Suspected infection or vertebral damage
  • Nerve symptoms or spinal instability requiring assessment
Recovery and next steps: Do not self-start or stop TB medicines. Complete treatment and attend follow-up as directed by the treating medical team. Treatment decisions are made after an individual clinical assessment; not every patient needs surgery.
