spine disorders. Pediatric Spinal Deformity Idiopathic Scoliosis By LaurenceE. Mermelstein, MD. Page 2 Treatment and Follow-up. Back to spine disorders.
http://www.lispine.com/scolitext.shtml

Extractions: By Laurence E. Mermelstein, M.D. Spinal deformity is the most frequent problem that will cause a child and his family to seek out spinal evaluation. The diagnosis of a spinal deformity can cause a great deal of distress within a family, mostly due to a lack of knowledge regarding the problem. In the vast majority of cases, these deformities can be managed non-operatively and only require careful observation. This article will highlight the latest medical information regarding the most common pediatric spinal deformity, Idiopathic Scoliosis. DEFNITION There are several known different etiologies of scoliosis, the most common of which is termed idiopathic, a technical term for unspecified or unknown cause. Other less common causes are congenital (secondary to vertebral anomalies that develop in utero) paralytic (secondary to muscle weakness) or neuromuscular in origin (e.g. Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Muscular Dystrophy). Various theories regarding the etiology of idiopathic scoliosis have been put forth, but none have been completely validated. Inheritance has a definite role in predisposing a child to developing scoliosis, but a discrete gene or mode of inheritance has not been established. Hormonal imbalance, abnormal tissue structure, subtle neurologic imbalances and/or abnormal reflexes have all been considered as etiologic factors, with no one reason being entirely responsible.
Cervical And Thoracic Spinal Disorders: New Surgical Technique
Indianapolis, IN, USA. Cervical and thoracic spine disorders can affectmore than one vertebral level of the spine. Degenerative disc disease
http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article1709.html

Extractions: Cervical and thoracic spine disorders can affect more than one vertebral level of the spine. Degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, excessive kyphosis, vertebral fracture, and other disorders can cause pain, numbness, weakness, and tingling in the upper back, shoulders, and arms. In some cases, surgery is necessary. Sometimes these disorders involve the junction between the cervical and the upper thoracic spine. Characteristically, the cervical spine is quite flexible and the thoracic spine is rigid. Disorders involving these vertebral levels can present a specific challenge to the spine specialist. Now these difficult cases can be instrumented using a different device that is modular by design. This device allows the spine surgeon to stabilize the cervical and upper thoracic spine using anchors (screws and hooks) attached to a rod in a variety of positions.

Cervical spine disorders are as varied as their symptoms. Other causesof cervical spine disorders are severe trauma, poor posture.
http://www.neckreference.com/

Extractions: I remember distinctly waking up December 21st with this sharp pain in my neck, where the neck meets the shoulder. But I just thought "this doesn't feel too great, better put some heat on it." The next morning I woke up and it was really, really bad so I went to my primary care physician. After an evaluation, he recommended I go in for a MRI. Whether you are experiencing pain in your hands, weakness in your arms, or even difficulty walking, the source of your problem could be right above your shoulders. Cervical spine disorders are as varied as their symptoms. Studies show that approximately fifty percent of the population has evidence of degenerative changes in their cervical spine by the age of fifty. Other causes of cervical spine disorders are severe trauma, poor posture. Neck pain can also be a warning sign of something more serious such as spinal cord compression, a tumor or spinal infection.

http://www.umm.edu/spine/

Extractions: The skeletal trunk that part of the body made up of the spine (back and neck), shoulders, and pelvis acts as the major support system for the rest of the body. Sometimes called the trunk or the torso, the skeletal trunk is home to weight-bearing bones and joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerve centers that make movement possible and allow flexibility for the rest of the body. Because of the complexity of its many tasks, the skeletal trunk is vulnerable to many disorders. Problems such as degenerative arthritis, nerve impingement, fractures, tumors disorders that can also cause pain and disability in other parts of the body are common to the skeletal trunk.

Surgery for patients with disc disorders of the spine is usually reserved for those who have failed exhaustive attempts
http://www.swgspine.com/prod03.htm

Extractions: SOUTHWEST GEORGIA REGIONAL SPINE CENTER DISC DISORDERS OF THE Intervertebral discs are the "cushions" of cartilage between the bony vertebral bodies in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. There existence allows the body to accept and dissipate load across multiple levels in the spine and still allow for the flexibility required for performing normal activities of daily living. As the body twists, bends, flexes and extends; the intervertebral discs are constantly changing their shape. The discs themselves are composed of a tough, outer fibrous layer (the annulus fibrosis) and a soft, almost gelatinous inner layer (the nucleus pulposis). As a part of the aging process, the discs begin to lose their high water content and their ability to dissipate force as efficiently (SO CALLED DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE). By the age of 35, approximately 30% of people will show evidence of disc degeneration at one or more levels. By the age of 60, greater than 90% of people will show evidence of disc degeneration at one or more levels on MRI. In some patients, this disc degeneration can be nearly asymptomatic; in others, disc degeneration can lead to intractable back pain. As the discs deteriorate, the spine can initially become less stable. Bony spurs can develop as a result of this instability and can cause pressure on nearby nerves leading to leg or arm pain. Narrowing of the neural canal by these bony spurs is known as degenerative spinal stenosis. The outer layer of the discs themselves can also tear. When this occurs, the inner, gelatinous layer can herniate out ( A "HERNIATED" OR "RUPTURED" DISC) and also cause pressure on an adjacent nerve. If the herniation occurs in the neck and causes pressure there, this can cause pain that radiates into the shoulder and arm; if it occurs in the back, the pain produced can radiate down into the hip and leg.
