Understanding Piriformis Syndrome And It’s Link With Sciatic Nerve

Image
Piriformis syndrome is not a common occurring neuromuscular disorder that is generated when the piriformis muscle presses the sciatic nerve. The piriformis muscle is a flat, band-like muscle found in the buttocks near the top of the hip joint. This muscle is essential in lower body movement because it fastens the hip joint and lifts and rotates the thigh away from the body. This permits us to walk, shift our weight from one foot to another, and maintain balance. It is also used in sports that involve lifting and twisting the thighs in short, in nearly every movement of the hips and legs. The sciatic nerve is solid and long in the body. It passes alongside or goes through the piriformis muscle, goes down the back of the leg, and ultimately branches off into more miniature nerves that terminate in the feet. Nerve squeezing can be induced by seizure of the piriformis muscle. Piriformis Syndrome Signs And Symptoms Piriformis syndrome normally starts with discomfort...

Vertebroplasty: An Advanced Care & Treatment for Vertebra

Image
The procedure known as vertebroplasty is used for stabilizing a spinal fracture and to ease the pain the fracture causes. Because it is administered by simply puncturing the patient's skin, rather than with an open incision, it is thought to be minimally invasive. How This Procedure Is Done The patient is given light sedation and local anesthesia, and if he or she has difficulty in tolerating sedatives, only a local anesthetic is used. During the procedure, a biopsy needle is used to inject special bone cement into the fractured or collapsed vertebra. This is accomplished with the guidance of a fluoroscopic x-ray. Note that the cement, which hardens quickly, creates a support structure in the vertebra, providing both strength and stabilization to the bone. Also, the tiny puncture in the patient's skin that remains only has to be covered with a bandage.\ What Patients Can Expect This procedure is usually completed within an hour, and bed rest is generally ...
