If you have a chronic pain in the neck, you may want to seek out expert cervical disc surgeons. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, cervical discs between the vertebrae wear and degenerate with age. When they start to bulge, collapse, or wear away, your vertebrae or even part of the damaged disc can press on your spinal nerves or spinal cord, causing neck pain and stiffness, weakness in the limbs, arm numbness, and possibly even headaches. While Web MD recommends exercise to strengthen the neck

This is a 52-year-old male with a 8/21/2014 date of injury. IW is a milker, who was pushing cows, when one backed up onto left shoulder injuring his neck. DIAGNOSIS: Spinal stenosis of cervical region 02/09/16 Progress Report noted that the patient has neck pain, upper back pain, and shooting pain down the arms. The pain is on the left side. It is rated as 3-4/10. It is stabbing, burning, and pins and needles. Medications and rest alleviate the pain. Work, standing, walking, and activity aggravate

cartilage and A.F using the blood vessels surrounding tissues or the body of the lumbar spine through subchondral bone tissue (10). Disruption in normal discs cause pressure. So we will see a decrease in pressure by reduce in height, herniation of the discs and so increase in pressure on annulus (10). With age the central part of the discs will be herniated and that cause slipped discs. Herniated disc at the bottom of the lumbar spine causing pressure on nerves and nerve roots, causing back pain (lumbago)

between 7/17/2015 and 9/15/2015. CLINICAL SUMMARY: 225382 DOI: 3/3/2009. Patient is a 57-year old female home attendant who suffered laceration to her right hand when she slipped/fell on sidewalk. She underwent L4-5 and L5-S1 anterior/posterior lumbar fusion on 10/20/2012. Based on medical report dated 07/15/15, the patient presents with severe bilateral low back, buttock, perineal and leg pain for 5 years. Pain is rated at 6-10/10. The pain is located in the perineum, coccyx, vagina/urethra,

The nervous system is divided into three components: the central nervous system, which encompasses the brain, brain stem, and the spinal cord, the peripheral nervous system, which includes the sensory receptors and effector muscles and organs in the body, and the autonomic nervous system which is part of both the peripheral and central nervous system and controls visceral and largely unconscious functions (Barker & Barasi, 2005). The sexual response activates all these systems. (a) The central nervous

encompasses some lumbar nerve pairs, sacral nerve pairs and the coccygeal nerve. The nerves within the cauda equina excite both the pelvic organs and lower limbs. Its function also includes innervating the perineum in men and the bladder in both sexes. 7. Choroid Plexus There are 4 sections of the brain where the choroid plexus is present, one located in each brain ventricle. They are all a plexus consisting of specialized ependymal cells, the epithelial layer of the choroid plexus has very tight

Its main advantage compared to lidocaine and prilocaine is its prolonged duration of action, and it is commonly used to produce infiltration and conduction anaesthesia. In addition, it is the standard drug that is used to produce extradural lumbar and thoracic blockade and to produce spinal subarachnoid anaesthesia. The main disadvantage of bupivacaine is its ability to cause significant cardiotoxicity,

What is Narrowing of Vertebral Canal in Cats? The cat 's spine is composed of seven cervical vertebrae in the neck, thirteen thoracic vertebrae in the upper back, seven lumbar vertebrae in the lower back and three sacral/coccygeal vertebrae in the pelvis and tail region. Each of the 30 vertebrae has discs in-between one another, which absorb shock, hold the spine together and act as a joint in order to help the spine move. The spinal or vertebral canal is located in the vertebra, protecting the

of the lower body. The absence of several pelvic vertebrae is more often associated with urinary incontinence than with bowel incontinence. At times the spinal malformation may be very severe with lack of development of the sacrum and sacral nerve plexus, a condition known as caudal regression or caudal dysgenesis sequence. In these instances, the baby’s buttocks are flat and the gluteal crease is barely discernable. The clinical import of this condition is that the pelvic musculature and innervation

Chapter 1: Introduction The bony pelvis is consisting of 4 bones which are 2 os coxae or innominate bones, 1 sacrum and 1 coccyx. According to Applegate, E. J. (2010), the term pelvis is used to describe large bony structure at the base of the spine which the lower limbs and many other vertebrates are attached to it. Thus, pelvis is applied to the bony that formed by the coccyx, the sacrum and the two hip bones which are called as the bony pelvis. The term of pelvis also can consider as the cavity
