The Spine

Scoliosis is a disease that affects the spine. There are many people that have spine problems, but with scoliosis a person will have a curved spine. Studies show that it is more common to diagnose someone in their younger years. Scoliosis usually occurs in the thoracic area and the lumbar region. Doctors will look at specific criteria to diagnose a patient and move onto possible treatments. Normal spines during examinations will have the lower part of the back curving inward that will round the

Scoliosis is the curvature of the spine, forming an s or a c-shape. It affects many people, including myself. Multiple Sclerosis is a “chronic degenerative disease of the central nervous system, in which the myelin that sheathes the nerves is somehow eaten away and scar tissue forms in its place, interrupting the nerves’ signals” (Mairs 261). If not treated properly, both conditions are degenerative. Both conditions do not have a cure, but they do have treatments that are not fully guaranteed to

Dendritic spines analysis At least eight to ten layer V pyramidal neurons from the visual cortex monocular region were selected from each brain for analysis utilizing light microscopy. Each of these neurons had to have an apical dendrite of at least 80μm long and exhibited full Golgi impregnation represented by a lack of floating spine heads. Each neuron underwent analysis of the apical dendrite, and following regions if present: apical oblique (branch protruding from apical dendrite), first order

Introduction Everyone’s spine has natural curve which round our shoulders and make our lower back curve slightly inward (Common Scoliosis Questions). Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine (Taylor, 2011, p394). Scoliosis can also be defined as a lateral (towards the inside) curvature of the spine with increased convexity (the quality or state of being curved outward) on the side that is curve (Taylor, 2011, p601). There are several less common types of scoliosis, but the four major different

your back pain gets worse. Pain from this type of back injury is often caused by spinal compression, and chiropractic treatments might help. Here is an overview of spinal compression and why spinal adjustments are beneficial. Your Spine Is A Bundle Of Nerves Your spine is composed of a bundle of nerves that run from your neck down to your hip area. These nerves play a vital role in transmitting information between your brain and the rest of your body. The nerves are protected by vertebrae, which

Andrew Biaesch HRS 2772 Pathology September 8, 2015 Scoliosis Definition and Subclassification Scoliosis “ is a threedimensional deviation of the spinal axis” (1) . When diagnosed, the condition is subclassified as congenital, neuromuscular (or myopathic), degenerative or idiopathic based on the patient’s history. Congenital scoliosis is diagnosed when the deviations are present shortly after birth and early infancy and the condition appears to have developed during pregnancy. In 80% of infantile

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of Scoliosis. This is a complex genetic trait disorder. Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine, usually appearing as an elongated “S” or “C”. Of all known cases AIS makes up of about 80%. When it becomes apparent in late childhood or as an adolescent it is known as AIS and it’s effecting about 4 in 100 adolescents (10-18 y/o). Scoliosis can be considered “sporadic”. If you parent or sibling has AIS it gives you a

This article is about the physical disability known as scoliosis, which makes the normally straight spine curve 10 degrees or more in a “c” or “s” shape. The curve can happen to the left, right, or go both ways on different parts of the spine. It is found more often in adults than children. 1 in 10,000 children get scoliosis at birth, they usually get it when they are older. There are three different types of scoliosis, and three different causes, besides scoliosis being hereditary. It is important

Scoliosis is define as a lateral curvature of spine greater than 10 degree and vertebral rotation (Pellios et al., 2016).The spinal changes shown as compressive force on concave side of a curvature resulted in narrowed disc space and spinal canal space, wedge shaped vertebral bodies thinner and short lamina and pedicles, however, convex side changes includes wider rib space and posterior deformed rib cage (McKinnis, 2014). According to McKinnis, spinal curves over 10degree appears in 2% to 4% of

SCOLIOSIS Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. That is often diagnosed early in toddlers, children, and adolescents. Scoliosis is not considered a disease. Scoliosis occurs most often during growth spurt just before puberty. The spine will more than likely have an S or C shape. Sometimes it also looks like a question mark. Usually the spine is curved at least ten degrees or Scoliosis is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine that is often diagnosed early in toddlers, more to the
