A slipped disc can cause symptoms such as pain down the back of the leg (sciatica), numbness, or weakness. Read about causes, diagnosis, and treatment (surgery, physical therapy, and medications).
In order for the disc to function properly, it must be well hydrated. The nucleus pulposus is the major carrier of the body’s axial load and relies on its water-based contents to maintain strength and pliability.Disc DegenerationOver time, spinal discs dehydrate and become stiffer, causing ...
One studydocumented by MRI up to 90% reduction of disc herniations in 10 of 14 cases and other studies reported that the majority of ruptured disc patients achieved "good" to "excellent" results after spinal decompression therapy. Click hereif you would like to review the studies yourself. Ar...
Background:Traumatic facet dislocations in the subaxial cervical spine, also known as locked facets, are commonly associated with neurological deficits. The fear of the presence of an associated traumatic disc herniation and consequent neurological worsening usually causes a delay in the spinal ...
PATIENT SAMPLE Inclusion criteria were axial LBP with or without radiating pain, MRI visualization of a contained disc protrusion and/or small contained herniated disc that was concordant with pain's characteristics (side and level), disc height 鈮 50% and failed conservative therapy for 鈮 3 ...
this study appears in: firstly, the use of the CycleGAN model based on convolutional layers to detect and classify the herniation type (median or foraminal) in lumbar intervertebral discs, secondly, the use of axial view MRI in order to classify the type of the herniated intervertebral disc. ...
