Findings of Lumbar Spine Injuries Patient history Inspection/Observation Types of Injuries Lumbar disk herniation ... Treatment History: Patients with disk disease usually are not able to give a precise time that the problem began because it usually is preceded by multiple episodes of less severe low back pain. It is important to ask the patient the location of the pain. - Pain that is localized to the lower back and gluteal area often is associated with disk disease. - The pain associated with nerve root involvement commonly radiates down the leg, particularly below the level of the knee. - Ask the patient about any unusual recent activity, especially if it involved the patient remaining in a flexed or rotated position. Find out if the patient experienced any recent trauma. - Pain with flexion, rotation, or prolonged sitting or standing, and sharp (rather than dull) pain are suggestive of disk disease. - The onset of pain may begin suddenly or gradually after injury.

Encyclopedia Index H Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index H Herniated disk Definition Disk herniation is a rupture of fibrocartilagenous material (annulus fibrosis) that surrounds the intervertebral disk. This rupture involves the release of the disk's center portion containing a gelatinous substance called the nucleus pulposus. Pressure from the vertebrae above and below may cause the nucleus pulposus to be forced outward, placing pressure on a spinal nerve and causing considerable pain and damage to the nerve. This condition most frequently occurs in the lumbar region and is also commonly called herniated nucleus pulposus, prolapsed disk, ruptured intervertebral disk, or slipped disk. Description The spinal column is made up of 26 vertebrae that are joined together and permit forward and backward bending, side bending, and rotation of the spine. Five distinct regions comprise the spinal column, including the cervical (neck) region, thoracic (chest) region, lumbar (low back) region, sacral and coccygeal (tailbone) region. The cervical region consists of seven vertebrae, the thoracic region includes 12 vertebrae, and the lumbar region contains five vertebrae. The sacrum is composed of five fused vertebrae, which are connected to four fused vertebrae forming the coccyx . Intervertebral disks lie between each adjacent vertebra. Each disk is composed of a gelatinous material in the center, called the nucleus pulposus, surrounded by rings of a fiberous tissue (annulus fibrosus). In disk herniation, an intervertebral disk's central portion herniates or slips through the surrounding annulus fibrosus into the spinal canal, putting pressure on a nerve root. Disk herniation most commonly affects the lumbar region between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra. However, disk herniation can also occur in the cervical spine. The incidence of cervical disk herniation is most common between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae. The second most common area for cervical disk herniation occurs between the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae. Disk herniation is less common in the thoracic region.

Letter From the Editor Celebrity Muscle Fitness Cafe Exercise Science ... About About the Author: Dr. Stephen L. Goldman has been practicing chiropractic in California for almost twenty years. He is currently in practice at Fitness Forum in Marina del Rey,California - a state of the art fitness and rehabilitation center. In addition, Dr. Goldman is on the faculty of Masters of Motion, a state recognized training program for personal trainers and aerobics instructors. He received his Bachelors of Science degree from the University of Massachusetts and his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Cleveland Chiropractic College, where he served on the faculty from 1980-84. "I have been training with weights for twenty years and for the first time I recently developed a rotator cuff problem. The rotator cuff has always been sort of a mystery to me because it's not a major muscle. In fact, as I began to research my injury I started to realize why it is so important to have strong, healthy rotator cuffs - and more importantly how to prevent future rotator cuff problems from occuring. Since most people only learn about rotator cuffs due to personal injury, it's important to pay attention to the following article by Dr. Goldman ... it will save you a great deal of future pain and aggravation."

Medical Dictionary Naturapathic Glossary Aphrodisiacs Immune System ... Table of content Herniated nucleus pulposus (slipped disk) Causes and Risks: The spinal vertebrae are separated by cartilage disks, filled with a gelatinous substance, that provide cushioning to the spinal column. These disks may herniate or rupture from trauma or strain , especially if degenerative changes have occurred in the disk. Radiculopathy refers to any disease condition of the spinal nerve roots. The term "lumbar radiculopathy" means that the lower back nerves are involved; "cervical radiculopathy" means that the neck nerves are involved. Herniated disk is one cause (but not the only cause) of radiculopathy. Most herniation takes place in the lumbar area of the spine. Lumbar disk herniation occurs 15 times more often than cervical (neck) disk herniation, and it is one of the most common causes of lower back pain . The cervical disks are affected 8% of the time and the upper-to-mid-back (thoracic) disks only 1 to 2% of the time. Nerve roots (large nerves that branch out from the spinal cord) may become compressed resulting in neurological symptoms such as sensory or motor changes.

Home Pejouhandeh Summer 2000 Epidemiological evaluation of disk hernia and constricted lumbar canal D isk hernia and lumbar canal constriction are among the common disorders of vertebral column and compose a great multitude of referrals to neurosurgical, rheumatological and orthopedic divisions. The complications are from a simple pain up to a complete disability. In this study the risk factors for the occurrence of disk hernia and lumbar canal constriction were studied in referrals of the neurosurgical centers affiliated to Shaheed Beheshti University of Medical Sciences and in one of the private clinics in 1997. The descriptive protocol of this study was performed on 500 patients of the aforementioned centers and 200 patients of the private clinic. For this purpose the Lazek test, tendon reflexes, lower limb muscular power and sensation and some related paraclinical tests including radiography, CT-scanning, myelography and/ or MRI were performed. In addition the parameters height, age, weight, sexuality, occupation, cigarette smoking, exercise and family history were evaluated. Overweight is considered as a BMI greater than 25, hard-conditioned occupations such as those of the workers and office work as mild to moderate occupation. Out of the total, 539 cases had disk hernia and 161 had a constricted lumbar canal. For disk hernia, the ratio of male to female was 1.5/1 and the greatest incidence occurs at the 4th and 5th decades. For constricted lumbar canal, the ratio was 1.3/1 and occurs most frequently at 6th and 7th decades.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Lumbosacral Spine Under Compression DANIEL S.J. CHOY, M.D. ABSTRACT Object: This study was undertaken to duplicate the more physiological imaging of lumbar disk herniation possible with the "sitting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)" that exists at Harvard and Zurich. Method: A compression frame was constructed of plywood that would fit into a standard MRI machine. A patient lying in the frame, on extending the bent knees, would experience a compressive force on his lumbar and thoracic spine, thus duplicating the higher intradiscal pressures found in the sitting position. Results: It was found that in 50% of patients so studied there was reproduction of their pain syndromes as well as augmentation of disk herniation by MRI. Conclusion: The compression frame used during MRI of the spine results in a more physiological representation of herniated disks seen in the erect position. INTRODUCTION Nachemson METHOD The frame consists of 3/4" x 7' plywood base. At one end are two fixed padded shoulder restraints. At the other end is an adjustable foot board attached to the base with hardwood dowels 1/2" in diameter that pass through the base of the foot board into 1/2" holes drilled into the base at 1 1/2" intervals. The length of the patient from the shoulders to the soles of the feet is measured (L). The distance between the shoulder restraints and the foot board in then set at L minus 3 inches. The patient is then placed in the frame with his or her knees slightly bent to accommodate to the shorter distance. Once placed in the magnetic resonance tube the patient is asked to fully extend both knees, thereby exerting a compressive load on the lumbosacral spine.
