Spinal disc herniation

biggest medical and social problems in the world today1,2. The cost to the United States is estimated to be $100 billion annually 3, 4. A large number of studies have shown that intervertebral disc can be the main origin of low back pain. Discogenic low back pain (DLBP) originating from intervertebral disc degeneration is considered to be one of the major causes of CLBP 5. In addition, CLBP is one of the major causes of disability and thus has a major socioeconomic impact. The manuscript’s aim…

represents 15% of low back pain problems. About 50% of specific back pain is due to prolapsed intervertebral disc (PID), in which the nucleus pulposus herniates through a tear in the annulus fibrosis, resulting in irritation of the adjacent nerve root and causing a typical radiculopathy pain. It is commonly seen in the age group of 15- 45 years of age.3 Majority of the spinal disc herniations occurs in the lumbar region (95% in the L4-L5 or L5-S1). The clinical phenomena in acute LBP are pain…

strain the hip joint too much. You can also use some of them at home every day. For chronic conditions such as arthritis or rheumatism , but also for a herniated disc , exercise baths are a very good measure for hip pain treatment. Basically: In acute inflammation, it helps to cool the joint, but in the case of arthrosis and herniated discs the symptoms improve by heat. Hot water bottles or cold / hot compresses are suitable, for example. When walking, sometimes a walking stick or other walking…

treatment or diagnostic testing from an orthopedic standpoint. MRI of the lumbar spine performed on 03/18/14 showed posterocentral disc herniation as noted at the L5-S1 level, which demonstrated ventral impingement on the thecal sac as well as impingement on the intervertebral foraminal bilaterally. There was mild narrowing of the anmteroposterior diameter of the spinal cal noted at L5-S1 level. Mild scoliosis is seen. Posterior…

Introduction Head butting a soccer ball may cause injuries. Cervical spinal injuries are usually categorized as a head and neck injury and their incidence varies from 4 to 22% (Kartal, Yiliran, Senkoylu,& Korkusuz 2004). Severe muscle spasms, spinal cord injuries, herniation of the disc and fracture dislocation are listed as acute injuries to the cervical spine in soccer (Kartal et al., 2004). Kartal et al. (2004) hypothesized that recurrent trauma from head butting a soccer ball may case…

performed on 03/31/16 showed disc herniations at L3-S1 deforming the thecal sac with bilateral neural foraminal extension at all three levels, abutting the exiting L5 nerve roots with left neural foraminal narrowing at L5-S1, left greater than right abutting the exiting left L4 nerve root at L4-5, and right greater than left, abutting the exiting right L3 nerve roots at L3-4 in addition to L4-5 and L5-S1 grade I spondylolisthesis, and L3-4 and L4-5 mild central spinal stenosis in conjunction…

According to MRI results 93% of these injured athletes had either cervical disc disease or cervical stenosis….. Although burners may be the result of a brachial plexus stretch injury in high school and collegiate football players seen with acute symptoms, nerve root compression in the intervertebral foramina secondary to disk…

Why Mario Lemieux is Better Than Wayne Gretzky Who do you think is better: Gretzky or Lemieux? Arguably, you could say Wayne Gretzky was the number one player ever.

People may say that Gretzky is clearly a better player purely due to stats. As stats do tell some info about a hockey player, they do not tell you…
