The Spine

to your spine that's made it unstable or fractured, it's probably giving you a lot of pain. The pain occurs because portions of your spine move independently of each other and they can pinch nerves and tissues when they are out of alignment. Your doctor may suggest a spinal fusion to correct the problem and decrease your pain. Here's a quick overview of this medical procedure. Fusing Your Spine With A Bone Graft A spinal fusion involves grafting bone to the unstable parts of the spine to hold…

a MVA. DIAGNOSIS; Cervical spin e S/S, Lumbar spine S/S, Left shoulder S/S 12/08/15 progress note describes that the patient complains of neck pain at a 6/10-scale level; low back pain at a 6-7/10-scale level, which radiates to the right leg; left shoulder pain at a 4/10-scale level, which radiates to the left arm; and sleep problems. PE revealed slight to moderate spasticity and tenderness over the para-cervical muscles. ROM of the cervcal spine is decreased by 15 %. The foraminal Compression…

isn’t exactly accurate. Arrows don’t exactly fly straight, they twist and bend as they fly. When you draw back and release your bowstring the large force of kinetic energy stored in the limbs gets transferred into the arrow and this force causes the spine of the arrow to start bending as it gets pushed forward. The archer’s paradox is this bending of the arrow around the bow as it is being loosed before it straightens out. At the moment the arrow is loosed from full draw, it will begin to bend…

born, there are seven cervical, twelve thoracic and five lumbar vertebrae's. Viewing the spine posteriorly in a patient with a healthy spine you will see that there is no curvature from right to left but looking at the spine laterally you will find that there is a regular "s" shape. " This allows for an even distribution of weight. The "S" curve helps a healthy spine withstand all kinds of stress. The cervical spine curves slightly inward, the thoracic curves outward, and the lumbar curves…

what interventions are best for these patients. Scoliosis is a degenerative condition of the spine, it is easily seen on an x-ray where there is a lateral curvature of the spine allowing the body to fall out of natural alignment causing the shoulders to dip down on one side and the hips to raise on the affected side where the spine takes on the shape of the letter C or in the shape of the…

specifically what region of the spine it is on (Miyanji 20). There are three regions of the spine, which are the proximal thoracic, main thoracic, and the thoracolumbar region (Miyanji 20). When classifying a curvature, we start by identifying if the curve is structural or nonstructural in each region of the spine; structural curvatures are permanent while nonstructural are not. Each type of curve is made up of a combination of structural and nonstructural regions of the spine. According to an…

Claudia Gates 2-16-16 Day 9 Scoliosis Scoliosis is a serious bone disorder in the spine. It is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can present as a “C” shape or an “S” shape. There is no known cause of scoliosis unless it was diagnosed as a secondary complication to an already ongoing issue with something else. It is very rare that the patient will suffer from any pain resulting from the scoliosis. But, early-onset scoliosis can become fatal if it is left untreated. Idiopathic scoliosis…

my current spine and we can see it is actually a C curve and it is known as scoliosis. The first thing we should know is that scoliosis is not a disease. It is a term used in the medical field to describe any abnormal, sideways curve that occurs in the spine whether to left or right and whether in C or S curve. Shaped like letter C where there is a single curve to the left is called Levoscoliosis and toward right side is called Dextroscoliosis. Here there is an example of S-curve spine where the…

as followed it is the symptoms of pain and possibly radiating weakness or numbness stemming from degenerated disk in the spine. The back just gets old and the disks get old and rot and can’t hold the back up. Degenerative disk disease leaves patients wondering what exactly the disease means according to spine health. The disk is made up of 90% of water according to laser spine. It greatly affects the patient's life. They can’t do everyday things like bend down because it hurts their back so bad…

measuring the group made a primary and secondary hypothesis. The primary hypothesis concluded that rainbow trout predation acts as selective source on the spine size of three spine stickleback because the different sizes of spines will indicate the difficulty of eating that particular stickleback. The secondary hypothesis concluded that the spine size in threespine stickleback is affected by the calcium limitation in the environment because the bones require calcium to grow and strengthen. While…
