MRI of the lumbar spine done on 08/20/09 revealed multilevel mild chronic degenerative changes of the lumbar spine, most notable at L5-S1, L4-5 and L3-4 on the basis of chronic degenerative changes.

his head, cervical spine, abdomen and pelvis, chest and thoracic spine; but all of these scans resulted in no acute findings. However, a computed tomography scan of the lumbar spine did show spinal stenosis secondary to disc protrusion, and magnetic resonance imaging scans were then ordered for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. The magnetic resonance scans showed multiple compression fractures from the C3 to C5 vertebrae, with ligament injuries from C5 to C7, bruising of the spinous process

Lordosis, may be known as swayback, is a pathology where the spine in the lower back has an excessive curve. The spine has natural curves at the top of the back, and lower back. Lordosis occurs when the natural curve in the lumbar region, curves more than normal. If the client has lordosis they will have an arch in their lower backs. Lordosis can often be confused with spondylolisthesis. Causes Lordosis is normally caused by having weak recuts abdominal and gluteus maximus and the quadratus lumborums(Q

lumbar disc problems Summary The lumbar region of the human spine is a location that is very susceptible to injury and trauma. A majority of the population experience back pain at some time during their life, and although in most cases the pain subsides after a time of rest, there is an enormous need for treatment of this malady.

The thoracic vertebral region has 12 bones and is found in the chest region. The lumbar vertebral region has 5 bones and is found in the lower back. The sacral/sacrum vertebral region has 5 bones and is a composite bone. The coccyx (tailbone) vertebral region has 4 bones and is a composite bone. 2. Discuss normal curvature in the adult

Dr. Lewellen’s treatment plan consisted of treatment twice a week for four to eight weeks, followed by treatment once a week for four to eight weeks, with re-evaluation at that time. He further recommended imaging of his lumbar spine, if his symptoms did not improve within three weeks. He also used corrective chiropractic adjustments, neuromuscular re-education, and therapeutic rehabilitative exercises to help stabilize the injured areas of his spine.
