What is a degenerative disorder that can cause loss of normal spinal structure function?
spondylosis
What is Lumbar spondylosis without myelopathy?
Lumbar spondylosis is a disease that results in the degeneration of joints in the spine. If the condition is without myelopathy, it means that the spinal cord is not damaged.
What is the medical term meaning degenerative brain disease?
Spondylosis is the general term meaning degenerative spine disease.
What is significant spondylosis?
Spondylosis is a general term for arthritic breakdown of the intervertebral joints and spinal discs and is characterized by abnormal bone growth and progressive loss of the normal structure of spinal discs, or disc degeneration. In severe cases of cervical spondylosis, where there is loss of function or sensation due to significant spinal cord compression and damage, surgery may be needed. At surgery, abnormal bone growths and arthritis compressing the spinal cord are removed and the spine may need to be fused along one or more vertebrae in order to restore stability and prevent future problems.
Can spondylosis be caused by a tramatic accident?
Yes, spondylosis can be influenced by a traumatic accident. While it is primarily associated with age-related wear and tear of the spinal discs and joints, trauma can accelerate the degenerative process or lead to injuries that contribute to the development of spondylosis. Factors such as herniated discs or spinal fractures from the accident may also exacerbate existing conditions, leading to increased pain and stiffness in the spine.
What is spinal manipulative therapy?
Spinal manipulative therapies are those that are used on the human skeleton, particularly the spinal area, to relieve muscular or skeletal pain , relieve tension, improve the mobility of joints.
What is the medical term meaning surgical resection of the dorsal root of a spinal nerve to relieve pain?
The medical term for surgical resection of the dorsal root of a spinal nerve to relieve pain is rhizotomy.
What is cervical spondylosis with paracentral disk protrusion?
Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative condition of the spine involving wear and tear on the cervical vertebrae and discs. Paracentral disk protrusion refers to an abnormal bulging of an intervertebral disk towards one side of the spinal canal, potentially compressing nearby nerve roots or the spinal cord in the cervical region, leading to symptoms such as neck pain, arm pain, and weakness.
What is spondylotic?
Spondylosis is a term referring to degenerative osteoarthritis between the center of the spinal vertebrae and the neural foramina. If this occurs in zygapophysial joints, it can turn into facet syndrome.
What is spinal stenosis and where can i find info about it?
No, you can have surgery to fix it. Severe cases of stenosis often require surgery. The goal of the surgery is to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerve by widening the spinal canal.
Can spondylosis cause Muscular atrophy?
Yes, spondylosis can lead to muscular atrophy. The condition, which involves the degeneration of spinal discs and joints, may result in pain, reduced mobility, and nerve compression. These factors can limit physical activity and lead to disuse of certain muscle groups, ultimately causing muscular atrophy. Additionally, nerve damage from spondylosis can impair muscle function and contribute to muscle wasting.
Can cervical spondylosis affect heart or thyroid function?
yes, depending how severely & where the cervical spine is effected. how much & where the spinal cord is compressed......am i right?? any doctors agreeing ?
