Back pain - how to get started

"Interruption" has its own variables, including L4 vertebrae and L5 vertebrae, as well as C5 to C7 vertebrae. Even though C5 to C7 are part of the neck, they are also associated with or associated with other parts of the back. When medical professionals start looking for a sliding disc, they often look at possible causes, including strain, trauma, deformity, degeneration, weakness, and heavy load, which can damage the back and neck ligaments, causing strain and sprain.

After considering the cause of the problem, they considered the pathophysiology, including the possibility of a "nucleus pulposus." The middle is indeed connected to the spine and is likely to compress the spinal nerves, roots and even the spinal cord, causing pain. If the spinal cord is indeed compressed, it can inhibit various symptoms of the nerves and roots, including reduced motor function, numbness, and even pain.

The assessment is usually centered on the lumbar vertebrae area, which may result in short or long-term pain in the lower back. The pain in this area does not stay where it starts, it tends to radiate through the hips and even along the back of the legs. For people with this condition, it is not uncommon to experience leg numbness and weakness and possible access to the foot, so walking can be tested.

Another position where the doctor usually searches for the lower back of the sliding disc is through the waist curve. They are located in the lower part of the back, which is a common problem for patients with abnormal spinal curvature.

When considering the cervical spine, the symptoms are very different. The doctor looks for stiff neck, numbness in the arms, weakness and possible stinging on the fingers and hands. If pain is radiated from the arm down into the hand, the disc that the neck may slide is evaluated. Since the cervical spine is very close to the origin of the spinal cord, it may be accompanied by other symptoms mentioned earlier. Weaknesses can develop in extreme locations, such as the upper part of the neck and even at the base of the skull.

test

When doctors consider back pain, they will have a physical examination and may undergo a series of physical examinations. These tests may include basic tendon reflex capabilities, EMG X-rays, cerebrospinal fluid testing, MRI or CT scans. The results of these tests can be compared to the results of previous tests to determine if there are any structural or inflammatory changes. By using an EMG scan, your doctor may be able to determine if there are spinal nerves in the stimulus. X-rays can be used to determine if there is any narrowing or expansion in disk space. Myelography can be used to determine if there is any compression in the spinal cord. This is usually done when the patient reports numbness in the limbs.

How to manage Slipped Disks

In the first signs of a back injury, doctors usually provide pain relief management. This makes the patient feel comfortable when the doctor isolates the cause of the pain. The pain management protocol will depend on the patient's medical history and metabolic changes. Doctors can increase their fiber intake to ensure that pain management medications do not cause constipation.

Other treatments will focus on symptom relief. Use hot pads, hot wet compresses, and sometimes cold therapy. NSAID drugs can be used to reduce infection and attempt to control any compression of the nervous and muscular systems. Muscle relaxants can be prescribed in cases involving muscle spasms or involving degenerative muscle diseases.

Short-term use of orthopedic options is recommended. They are not recommended for long-term use because they can further aggravate the damage by weakening the back-dependent stability of the muscle structure.
