Slipped Disc Complications

Herniated disc - the disc is the spongy cartridge that provides support and protection between the five vertebrae in the lower back and protects the spinal cord from injury. As the disc degenerates - any injury to the ligaments could cause pain to the affected area. Most herniated disc occurs between the fourth or fifth vertebrae in the lower back in efforts to support the upper back. This could cause major pain when standing and sitting throughout the day.

The term “degenerative disc disease” is quite misleading. It does not apply to the symptoms getting worse over time, but rather the process of the disc degenerating over time. And although the condition of the disc may get worse as you age, the pain usually gets better, particularly if your body responds to the treatment you receive, which could range from physical therapy to

Axel and skeleton frame injuries are something that are very common in the world of sports. 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. Thou the injury is very high in football nearly 15 percent of American suffer from Thoracic Disc Herniation. Degeneration the most common cause of Thoracic disc herniation “As a disc's annulus ages, it tends to crack and tear. These injuries are repaired with scar tissue. Over time the annulus weakens, and the nucleus may squeeze (herniate) through the damaged annulus. Spine degeneration

DOI: 11/5/2004. Patient is a 58-year-old male pitcher driller who sustained a work-related injury to his low back when he slipped and fell backwards while cleaning a tub with a shovel. As per OMNI entry, the patient underwent laminectomy with decompression at L3-4 and L4-5 with degenerative disc disease and spondylolisthesis at L5-S1 on 07/14/2005; however, the surgery failed.

DOI: 06/23/2011. This is a case of 41-year-old male maintenance worker who sustained injury to the low back while taking off a sliding door of a patio. As per OMNI notes, patient is diagnosed with lumbar disc disorder with myelopathy. MRI of the lumbar spine dated 6/28/15 revealed recurrent left paramedian L4-5 disc herniation with caudal extrusion of a 10 mm fragment into the left L5 lateral recess. As per office notes dated 7/25/16, the patient is status post redo left L5-S1 discectomy performed on 4/20/16. It was also noted that the patient had a prior L5 laminotomy several years ago. He subsequently did well. However, he had recurrence of his pain. Pain is radiating into his left leg worse on the right leg. This was unresponsive to conservative

Possible symptoms of a herniated disc include pain that radiates through the back and possible down the arms or legs, depending on the location of the herniation. There can also be noted numbness and weakness of the arms and neck. Some people may not even know that they have a herniated disc because not all cases present with leg or back pain. Other signs and symptoms of a herniated disc may include muscle spasms or deep muscle pain. In extreme cases, a patient may present with weakness in both legs and/or the loss of bladder control and bowel control. This is a serious problem called cauda equine syndrome and requires immediate medical attention.

Non-occupational lifting was also studied as a risk factor for herniated lumbar intervertebral disc (Mundt et al. 1993). For this study, 287 patients with symptoms of herniated lumbar disc were involved and compared with control subjects without back pain taking in consideration the age, sex, source of care and geographic area. Based on their data, they showed that the risk of herniated

More and more people experience back problems. Often, the real culprit is a herniated disc. Herniated (-- removed HTML --) disc (-- removed HTML --) treatment Venice FL specialist would like people suffering with undue pain in their back to consider seeking out a specialist for more information. A herniated disk is a warning that something is wrong with the rubbery disk that are between the vertebra in the back. The vertebra are the individual bones that join together to make your spine. The spine disks resembles little jelly donuts. For example, the disks have a soft center with a tough exterior. A Herniated disk is a result of the soft center squeezing through a rip to the exterior.

Herniated discs are particularly brutal, due to their position directly behind the spinal cord. When a disc ruptures, the ‘jelly’ inside can spill out into the nerves. This results in severe pain that radiates through the back and sometimes down the legs, as in my case. For more than two years, it felt like I had a knife embedded in my lower back.

Moreover, now I learn most specific radiological techniques for different condition especially associated to spine. I learn importance of MRI and CT scan in different spinal pathological condition. To improved knowledge regarding types of MRI or CT scan method will most appropriate to condition, for instance, in the disc herniation condition, MRI will provide most appropriate result for soft tissue injury but in other cases CT myelogram is second choice techniques. Discography, is second last choice, before spinal surgery or fusion. I used to seen a 57 year old male patient with lower back pain, patient have improvement in pain with modality and strengthening exercises techniques but suddenly one day he was lifting trash pot and feel severe pain with radiating symptoms and feeling less sensation around inner thigh. Next day he came to me and complaining of this symptoms which are indicates for referral and further investigation. Afterwards, MRI reports revealed prolapsed intervertebral disc (PIVD-extrusion) at level lumbar 3 and 4 (L3-L4). I also learn certain condition (spinal stenosis), physical examination will helpful to detect pathological condition and which always should be confirmed by diagnostic imaging method and requirement for referral to appropriate

Lumbar Disc Herniation is one of the commonest problems in adults. At their productive age this problem is debilitating and if timely intervention is not made the outcome is quiet disabling. Lumbar disc herniation in the past have been treated successfully with both conservative and surgical modalities. Various studies in the past have proved both these modalities, conservative and surgical treatment to give a good relief of symptoms.

Sciatica has been reviewed as having upwards of a ninety percent causal rate associated with a herniated disc causing compression of the nerve root in the lumbar region of the spine (Cook, 2014). While sciatica often has a favorable prognosis (two – four week improvement), it is often linked with higher disability, pain, and loss of function rates in comparison to lower back pain alone. Additionally, sciatica caused by herniation has been shown to decrease plantar and knee strength, leading to an increased risk of falling and difficulties with ADLs (activities of daily living) amongst seniors.

Ailments like the herniated disc in the vertebrae are treated with the help of disectomy. 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. In this surgical procedure the whole disc or a part of it is

A description of the general skeletal system and break down of the Axial Skelton as it is important to understand before displayed. Diagnosis and treatment recommendation for conditions related to Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) will be discussed. Degenerative Disc Disease and causes in relation to my life events and medical history will be discussed. In order to understand DDD symptoms, a brief introduction and causes will be presented for a better understanding of the diagnosis and treatments. DDD is probably the most common impairment for which people apply for disability next to high blood pressure and diabetes. The epidemiology of lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD) is poorly understood, and the incidence of this disorder has

Physical therapists provide a multi-approach in treatment of discogenic low back pain. Most of the common approaches available include manual therapy, lumbar stabilization, yoga, swimming and traction. Depending on the stage and severity of disk pathology, it is mostly a therapist’s preference when it comes to what intervention is applied. There are no clear-cut, well-defined practice guidelines as when is it more meaningful and effective to choose manual therapy for this stage of disc pathology, versus that of traction for another phase. Hence, this literature study will try to look into the more
