MRI. After reviewing the imaging tests, the doctor will show the patient the findings, and what is attributing to the pain. He or she will recommend a treatment plan, which often involves spinal manipulations, and other therapies. Spinal adjustments help to relieve pressure, improve blood flow, and improve spinal flexibility. If tissue damage is shown in the imaging tests, the doctor may include electrical muscle stimulation. This consists of placing electrodes on the skin and the machine…

umbar spinal canal stenosis is the narrowing or stricture of the spinal canal, with possible subsequent nerve impingement (1). The canal components that contribute to its narrowing include facet joint hypertrophy, ligamentum flavum thickening, bone spurs, and multilevel disc bulge or protrusion (2).

With aging, the discs and their protective elasticity degrade. Disc desiccation makes them thinner and weaker and they can no longer perform their full functions. Osteoarthritis develops with accompanying stiffness and pain in the lower back.Degeneration of the discs is normal. It may, however, cause serious disability when the steady progress degenerative disc disorder results in the distortion of disc shape. Deformed discs may impinge upon the spinal cord or its nerve roots, leading…

Someone with this disease can eventually outgrow the disease with treatment. This disease can be hereditary, but it is not common. The pain I feel on a daily basis is numbing. The cause is the disc’s inability to handle the stress. Eventually, the discs will collapse into stable position which will eliminate the pain. I am currently taking Naproxen and Flexeril which was prescribed to me when I made a trip to the Emergency Room because I was having severe muscle spasms. Nelson has suggested…

Synovial cysts arising from the intraspinal facet joint can directly cause thecal sac or nerve root compression. They are increasingly cited as a major source of spinal instability and mechanical back pain. In this case, we report a 51-year-old woman who has been treated conservatively for a unilateral synovial cyst for 15 months. She then presented with an acute exacerbation of lower back pain, neurogenic claudication and lower extremity weakness. Her magnetic resonance (MR) studies showed new…

(Walker, 2000). Spinal manipulation (SM) has been identified as efficacious treatment methods, especially for patients with nonspecific LBP (Slater, 2012). Early use of thrust manipulation among patients with LBP has been claimed for better outcomes and provides rapid recovery (Laerum et al., 2007). High velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) thrust techniques of the spine are also known by several names, e.g. High Velocity Thrust Manipulation, Spinal Adjustment, and Grade V mobilization…

1.DEFINATION: Cervical spondylitis is a chronic degenerative condition of the cervical spine that affects the vertebral bodies and intervertebral bodies and intervertebral discs of neck , as well are the contents of the spinal canal. Its effects the spinal discs (c2 to c3) as the discs dehydrate and shrinks sings of osteoarthritis develop, including bony projection along the edges of bones. 2.INTRODUCTION: Cervical spondylitis (cervical means neck and spondylo mean vertebra).Thus it is a…

rupture of the ligamentous tissue or outer portion of the disc allowing the inner gel like material to escape the confines of the ligament. This can be a complete or incomplete process meaning: incomplete tears could allow for a bulge whereas a complete rupture of the ligament allows for the gel like substance or nucleus pulposus to exit the disc. Both conditions can create pressure on the corresponding spinal nerves or even on the spinal cord which leads to neurological symptoms such as pain,…
