was normal. 2. Question: Does this man have a herniated disk in the lumbar region of his spine and if so which lumbar is herniated and how is affecting the functioning of his legs and what we can to fix that. 3. Hypothesis: Based on his age, the strenuous lifting that he does in his job, I suspect that he has herniated Nucleus Pulposus from either L2 to L4. The compression of the dorsal divisions of the ventral rami of his lumbar spine is causing his femoral nerve to not properly work on his right

year period, the plaintiff had undergone multiple surgeries involving the neck, back, both knees and left foot. The plaintiff has been diagnosis with multiple herniated disc of the cervical spine requiring a discectomy, multiple herniated disc of the lumbar spine resulting in a spinal fusion, right & left medial meniscus and ACL tears requiring surgical intervention and a metatarsal fusion of the left foot. In addition to the aforementioned injuries, the plaintiff has experienced ongoing episodes of

Patient is status post anterior lumbar interbody fusion at L3-4 and L4-5 with infuse, diskectomies with partial corpectomies and left cage instrumentation per the operative report dated 04/26/04. Per the PT attendance report dated 03/06/15, patent has attended 12 visits for the lower back. As per medical report dated 2/18/16, patient complains of constant

SSDI and Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Lumbar spinal stenosis is what occurs when the nerves in the lumbar area of the spine (the lower back) are pinched. Sciatica, which is the common term for pain in the legs due to a compressed nerve, can be caused by lumbar stenosis. It is mostly caused by degeneration of the facet joints, or the joints between vertebrae, in the lumbar area, which expand and press against the spine and “choke” it, hence the term stenosis, which comes from the Greek word for choking

DOI: 12/09/2000. This is a 58-year-old male sanitary engineer who sustained an injury to the low back when he fell while stepping down a ladder. Patient is diagnosed with other intervertebral disc degeneration, lumbar region. He is status post lumbar spine surgery on 05/19/2006. Per medical report dated 5/26/16, the patient complains of lower back pain which has increased since his last visit, rated as 9/10 without medication. His quality of sleep is poor and activity level remains the same. As per

A Literature Review on Pertinent Imaging Findings for Lumbar Disc Pathology What these Images Are Holding to Guide in Physical Therapy Treatments 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

felt pain in his lower back from moving multiple outrigger pads weighing approximately 80 pounds each. Per OMNI, he was diagnosed with lumbar strain. He is status post lumbar laminotomy at L3-L4 and L4-L5 on 03/01/2016 Per the PT attendance report dated 07/20/16, the patient has attended a total of 18 sessions since 04/15/16 through 06/27/16. MRI of the lumbar spine obtained on 07/27/16 showed interval posterior decompression at L3-4 and L4-5, without residual spinal canal stenosis and mild

MRI of the lumbar spine without contrast dated 5/23/11 revealed L4-5 status post anterior lumbar fusion, left posterior lumbar fusion and left L4 hemilaminotomy. The anterior fusion plug projects into the central/left ventral epidural space by 2mm. Granulation tissue is present within the laminotomy defect

falling on him as he was moving cart with cutting torch and tanks uphill. As per Omni, the patient has herniation at L4-L5 level. Radiology report of the lumbar spine dated 07/17/15 revealed mild degenerative changes at L4-L5. There is slight anterior subluxation of L4 on L5 by about 4-5mm with probable right spondylolysis of L4. MRI of the lumbar spine dated 07/24/15 showed degenerated L4-L5 disc. There is a significant foraminal narrowing at L4-L5 on the left with effacement of the left L4 nerve

The patient‘s finger tip just able to reach superior patellar, not an optimal range as before the injury as she usually was able touch a floor. Return from flexion was achieved by extending the lumbar spine. Lumbar extension showed a normal range of motion with mild pain at the end of range. Side bending and rotation showed normal range and quality of motion without significant increased in pain, also full ROM of hip joint. No neurological testing was
