Scoliosis is described as the curving of the spine resulting in rigidity and pain. Up to the present, the real reason behind scoliosis is still unidentified. Scoliosis affects women more than men and usually begins in childhood. Therefore, early detection is essential to prevent further problems. Following Are The Usual Remedies For Scoliosis Wearing of the brace. Patients are recommended to wear a brace if the curvature of their spine is about 30 degrees or less. With the pressure given by the brace against the spine, the latter can have more stability. The brace, however, is rather uncomfortable as it must be worn for 24 hours. Surgery is also is known as Spinal Fusion Surgery, where a spinal cord monitor is utilized to prevent paralysis. An incision is performed to decrease the curving of the spine. Another alternative method is the introduction of metal rods on each wall of the spine. However, surgical intervention is risky aside from being expensive; hence, it is the last al...

Spinal nerve compression can cause discomfort, frailty, and other severe neuromuscular perplexities. For some, the best solution to guarantee symptom relief is surgery. Of course, the process can be frightening particularly when it hits the spine. What precisely occurs when one undergoes surgery for his spinal nerve compression? Spinal decompression surgery links to a diversity of schemes. The best plan will depend on the circumstances of the symptoms. Before proceeding any further let’s understand what induces spinal nerve compression. This will give a much better perception of the types of surgeries that can alleviate this painful ailment. What Is Spinal Nerve Compression? A mixture of circumstances can cause spinal nerve compression. In common, doctors refer to any situation which involves pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. This situation is denominated as spinal nerve compression. As you understand, the spinal cord is a packet of nerves that transmits...

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 Carried Out? 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 From Vertebroplasty? This procedure is usually completed within an hour, and bed res...

Lumbar degenerative disc disease an age-related ailment that occurs when one or more of the discs within the vertebrae of the spinal column degenerates or collapses down. It contains small tears in the annulus of the disc elastic outer ring of collagen fibers and a lack of water content of the nucleus of the disc (soft gel center). The degenerative cascade can lead to disc swelling, growth of bone spurs, and damage of disc space height and arrangement, which can cause nerve impingement. DDD can also point to degenerative weakness, the loss of the capacity of the spine under physiologic capacities to persevere its pattern of natural action due to disc degeneration. Common Symptoms Of Degenerative Disc Disease If one starts analyzing the symptoms it includes pain at the place of the injury, insensitivity, or tingling in the legs, intense pain that tends to grow and go. There are even signs of intense pain while bending, twisting, or sitting. By lying down one can rel...

Arthroscopy is a common surgical procedure in which a joint is viewed by means of a small camera. The camera is inserted after the surgeon makes a small incision. The arthroscope used by the orthopedic surgeon allows a clear view inside the knee to help diagnose and treat knee conditions. Technological medical advances have afforded our surgeons high resolution cameras and high definition monitors. These and other advancements have made arthroscopic knee surgery an effective means for repairing damage to the knee and treating common knee problems. What Is Involved With Knee Arthroscopy? During an arthroscopic knee procedure, your orthopedic surgeon will insert a small camera instrument the size of a pencil into your knee joint. This device is called an arthroscope and it sends the image of the inside of your knee to the TV monitor the doctor watches. On this monitor, he can see the knee structures in great detail. This allows him to feel, remove, and repair damaged tissues and str...
