Diagnosis And Treatment Of The Thoracic Spine

There are also no randomized control studies on the effects of rule changes in sports on the incidence of TBI. The lack of relevant studies for all sports played by young athletes also poses a significant limitation, as the mechanisms effective for the prevention of one sport may not be useful in another. Further, each of the studies used different statistical methods to establish the significant or insignificance of their results, making it difficult to truly compare them.

The National Football Ledge(NFL) has a foundation of physical impact and is very strenuous on the axel and skeletal frame. Thoracic disc herniations in the one of the most common injuries the NFL and it requires the greatest amount of time to recover which is 189 days.

It has been observed that almost everyone older than 50 has some form of degenerative spine disease. The spine naturally wears down as the body ages as the spinal discs gradually deteriorate and the cartilage protecting the joints begins to show signs of wear and tear.

Reduced function in the body's joints and muscles for a long time can weaken the tissues and cause a herniated disc. This process can be reversed by the chiropractor, exercise and lifestyle changes. The chiropractic treatment is done in different ways depending on whether diskbåcket is manifested or if herniated disc is about to

MRI of the lumbar spine was obtained on 05/22/14 which revealed status post posterior surgical fusion of L4, L5 and S1 with no evidence of recurrent/residual disc herniation. There is a mild disc bulge at T11-12, L2-3 and L3-4 levels.

There is a disc present in between two vertebrae and if it herniates inwards, then it starts pressing on the spinal nerves which further results in pain.

ODG Physical Therapy Guidelines recommend 10 visits over 8 weeks of physical therapy for medical treatment of intervertebral disc disorder with myelopathy and spinal stenosis.
