Overview Of Spinal Disc Herniation Ashburn VA

By Stacey Burt


The disk (lProlapsus nuclei, prolapsed disk, disk also, BSP) is a disease of spine where parts of disk into spinal canal - the space where the spinal cord is - to step forward. In contrast to disk protrusion (bulging) prolapse of annulus fibrosus of disk (spinal disc herniation Ashburn VA) is torn completely or partially.

While the posterior longitudinal ligament (posterior longitudinal ligament) can remain intact (so-called subligamentous disk). The cause is often overloaded with pre-damage of disk, but disk can occur even without external cause. Symptoms of disk are strong, often radiating to extremities pain, often with numbness in area supplied by the pinched nerve root, sometimes paralysis. Treatment is usually conservative possible serious incidents must be treated surgically.

An important measure to prevent a herniated disk is the right ergonomics in workplace. This applies in addition to physical work also for activities that are performed in a sitting position. Nowadays there are many ergonomic solutions for work on the screen at a desk and work requiring long static sitting positions. Since the disk is not supplied by blood vessels, it relies on alternating pressure load on replacing the nutrient solution, thus static seating positions should be avoided.

Heat therapy, massage with movement therapy, electrotherapy, connective-tissue massage can help relieve the symptoms in individual case. The benefits can, however such. T. Not prove scientifically. Manual medicine (chiropractic, spinal manipulation) are contraindicated in radiating pain. In acute non radiating painrapy within first 4-6 weeks can be helpful.

The human spine 23 has disk. Between the first vertebra (atlas lat.) - Counting from the top - and the second vertebra (axis) no disk is formed. Thus the head in pitch (Atlas) and rotating (Axis) is given the necessary freedom of movement. In addition, focus there substantial nerves and blood supply to head.

In patients who suffer from back pain radiating into leg, chronic complaints, the so-called back exercises can be helpful. The periradicular therapy (PRT) is a process in which under CT or X-ray inspection cortisone is injected to affected nerve root, which should be done at least 2x. In 67% of cases, so that when a herniated disk pain relief can be achieved.

The investigation in health patients is usually not paid by the statutory health insurance. If necessary, the costs are covered if a painrapist the patient transfers to radiologist. Because of high complication rate applies strict indications for surgery. In 2013, the AOK hospital report has shown that the number of disk operations has doubled between 2005 and 2010.

Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial) came to conclusion that because of persistent sciatica due to a herniated disk surgery even after 8 years an advantage over the conservative treatment brings. Because of difficult assignment to different treatment groups and the summary of a number of different studies to a large study, there is some room for interpretation. Even so-called minimally invasive surgery and microsurgical procedures such as percutaneous laser disk decompression (PLDD), are mentioned in this context. Since the so-called "connective tissue" as the primary cause is hereditary, can a herniated disk only partially prevented by building muscle. The prevention of accidents can not always achieve.
