Disk Removal Herniated disk A blisterlike bulging or protrusion of the contents ofthe disk out through the fibers that normally hold them in place. http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/disk_removal.html
Extractions: Definition One of the most common types of back surgery is disk removal (diskectomy), the removal of an intervertebral disk, the flexible plate that connects any two adjacent vertebrae in the spine. Intervertebral disks act as shock absorbers, protecting the brain and spinal cord from the impact produced by the body's movements. Purpose About 150,000 Americans undergo disk removal each year in the United States. Removing the invertebral disk is performed to treat back pain that has lasted at least six weeks as a result of an abnormal disk and that has not responded to conservative treatment. Surgery is also performed if there is pressure on the lumbosacral nerve roots that causes weakness or bowel or bladder disfunction. As a person ages, the disks between the vertebrae degenerate and dry out, and the fibers holding them in place tear. Eventually, the disk can form a blister-like bulge, compressing nerves in the spine and causing pain. This is called a "prolapsed" (or herniated) disk. If such a disk causes muscle weakness or interferes with bladder or bowel function because it is pressing on a nerve root, immediate surgery to remove the disk may be needed. The aim of the surgery is to try to relieve all pressure on nerve roots by removing the pulpy material from the disk, or the disk itself. If it is necessary to remove material from several nearby vertebrae, the spine may become unsteady. In this case, the surgeon will perform a spinal fusion, removing all the disks between two or more vertebrae and roughening the bones so that the vertebrae heal together. Bone strips taken from the patient's leg or hip may be used to help hold the vertebrae together. Spinal fusion decreases pain but it also decreases spinal mobility.

Extractions: Therapy Can physical therapy relieve a bulging lumbar disc? Discs are the cushions or shock absorbers located between each vertebra. The outer layer of the disc is made of fibrocartilage laid down in many layers to give the disc strength. The inner portion of the disc is made of a gel-like substance, which is mostly water. All discs will experience wear and tear as we get older. The lumbar discs are located in the lower portion of the spine and absorb most of the weight of the body. They are the most prone to wear-and-tear and injury. The discs can be injured by trauma, frequent repetitive movements like bending and twisting and prolonged static postures like sitting in a car or at a desk. The inner portion of the disc can push out on the injured part of the outer disc and cause the disc to swell or bulge. Bulging discs can cause local back pain and can even refer pain to one or both legs if the bulge is big enough. A bulging disc can also produce symptoms of numbness or weakness in the leg. An MRI or CAT scan can show the presence of a bulging disc. Most disc problems get better with a combination of time, rest and the proper treatment. The vast majority of bulging discs do not need surgery. This is where physical therapy can help.

At the lowest point of her life, crippled and unable to care for herself, she met David Duncan MD, a family practice physician at Columbia Doctors Hospital and ColumbiaSpecialty Hospital, and finally began the road to recovery. "I hurt all the time and I could not get out of the electric wheelchair," said Peebles. "My lower back and legs hurt and I did not think it would improve." "I just thought the pain would continue to get worse and go on forever."

Extractions: Low Back Pain Web Resources Available Back pain is the number one problem facing the workforce in the United States today. To illustrate just how big a problem low back pain is, consider these facts: It is estimated that over 80 billion dollars is spent because of back pain each year, and the cost is growing. Eight out of ten people will have a problem with back pain at some time during their lives. Back pain is more likely to occur during the ages of 30 to 50, the most productive period of most people's lives. Most episodes of low back pain are self limited, meaning that they will resolve no matter what the treatment is. But, in some people these episodes of back pain can become chronic , meaning that they do not go away. The back pain continues and causes problems indefinitely. Low back pain is a common problem for all types of people, no matter what their job is. There is no quick fix or total cure for most back problems. The good news is that chronic back problems can be treated effectively to limit the impact on your day to day life. How your back pain affects you on a daily basis is

Extractions: My Personal Lupus Story It seems so long since my diagnosis of Lupus in January of 1995, yet at times it seems like yesterday. I can clearly remember how I felt when I heard I had Lupus....the emotions, the fear...the UNKNOWN. But when I think of all that I have been through since then, and am still going through, I am in awe that it HAS only been 4 years. So many changes have taken place, both good and bad, but the changes in who I have become are probably the most dramatic. Let me start by telling you a little about myself. I was born April 13, 1972 in a town called Bayshore in Long Island, New York. My parents separated when I was 4, divorced when I was 9. I had wonderful grandparents that I lived with for many years that helped raise me and instill values that I am influenced by to this day.

Extractions: HERNIATED DISK OVERVIEW: The spinal column is composed of a series of 24 bones called vertebrae that are separated from each other by a disk. The disks are about the size of four silver dollars stacked on one another. Their structure is like a jelly doughnut with tough surrounding ligaments and a jelly center called a nucleus. This nucleus will flatten out the bulge depending on the stress applied to the back. If the force is too much, the nucleus can rupture and break through the surrounding ligament. When this happens, it will pinch a nerve either in the low back or neck.
Extractions: What is a slipped disk? Q: How does Chiropractic Work? Chiropractic works by restoring your own body's inborn ability to be healthy without the use of drugs or surgery. When under the proper control of your nervous system all the cells, tissues, and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and ill health. The chiropractic approach to better health is to locate and help remove interference to your nervous system, the master control system in your body. A very common source of interference to your nervous system is the 24 movable bones in your spinal column. A loss of motion or malposition of the bones can irritate or pinch the nervous system. This can disrupt the transmission of vital nerve impulses traveling throughout your body. Very much like a kink can disrupt or stop the flow of water through a garden hose. With improved spinal function there is often improved nervous system function. Our chiropractic doctors can locate and eliminate the nervous interference that may be making you sick, and sapping your body of vital nerve energy.
