Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Lumbar spinal surgery - series Herniated nucleus pulposus (slipped disk) Definition: A condition in which part or all of the soft, gelatinous central portion of an intervertebral disk (the nucleus pulposus) is forced through a weakened part of the disk, resulting in back pain and leg pain caused by nerve root irritation. Alternative Names: Lumbar radiculopathy; Cervical radiculopathy; Herniated intervertebral disk; Prolapsed intervertebral disk; Slipped disk; Ruptured disk Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The bones of the spinal column, or vertebrae, run down the back connecting the skull to the pelvis. These bones protect nerves as they exit the brain and travel down the back and then to the entire body. The spinal column is divided into several segments the cervical spine (the neck), the thoracic spine (the part of the back behind the chest), the lumbar spine (lower back), and sacral spine (the part connected to the pelvis that does not move). The spinal vertebrae are separated by cartilage disks filled with a gelatinous substance, that provide cushioning to the spinal column. These disks may herniate (move out of place) or rupture from trauma or strain , especially if degenerative changes have occurred in the disk.

BODY PARTS INVOLVED Disks of the neck or lower spine are the most common sites, especially between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. IN THE LOWER BACK: Severe pain in the low back or in the back of one leg, buttock or foot (sciatica). Pain usually affects one side and worsens with movement, coughing, sneezing, lifting or straining. Weakness, numbness or muscular wasting of the affected leg. IN THE NECK: Pain in the neck, shoulder or down one arm. Pain worsens with movement. Weakness, numbness or muscular wasting of the affected arm. CAUSES Weakening and rupture of the disk material, creating pressure on nearby spinal nerves. Rupture of the disk is caused by sudden injury or chronic stress, such as from constant lifting or obesity. RISK INCREASES WITH Any sport in which movement causes downward or twisting pressure on the neck or spine. The most common include bowling, tennis, jogging, track, football, racquetball, weight-lifting or gymnastics.

Do I have a Slipped Disk? Discs are known as the "shock absorbers" of the spine and are made up of a fibrous outer ring and a jelly-like center. Commonly, a variety of disc problems throughout the spine may be referred to as a "slipped disc." A disc cannot actually slip because of the way it attaches into the bones above and below. Discs can tear, decay, bulge, or dehydrate, all of which can be serious problems. However, discs cannot slip. Return to Frequently Asked Questions Home Page Meet Dr. West What is Chiropractic? ...

Chaplaincy Diagnostic Imaging Pharmacy Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Low Back Pain For More Information Programs and Services Special Programs Frequently Asked Questions Related Information: Veterans Wellness Feature: Bye, Bye Back Pain Understanding Low Back Pain By George Barrett, Physical Therapist Syracuse VAMC Low back strikes nearly everyone at some point in life. Although some people must deal with back pain on a daily basis, a large number of people may benefit from treatment. More importantly, back injuries are preventable. Causes of Low Back Pain Low back pain may result from a number of causes, such as poor posture and body mechanics, or decreased flexibility and strength. One of the most common causes is fatigued or "pulled" muscles. This can result from overuse, such as excessive yard work. Another common cause is the "Weekend Warrior Syndrome," when an individual that rarely takes part in strenuous activity, performs activities for which they are not properly conditioned. The muscle sustains injuries and may swell and be painful during use. Another cause of low back pain is a bulging or herniated nucleus pulposis, commonly called a "slipped disk." The vertebral disk can be thought of as a stale jelly donut - a jelly-like center surrounded by a tough outer covering. It normally sits between two vertebrae (the back bones), and provides space between the bones to increase their mobility. A "slippage" results when the forces on one side of the disk result in the gel center being forced partially or totally through the outer covering. One study suggests pain may result from the decrease in the overall stability of the vertebral column. This results in decreasing the stability of the bones, which act as the anchors for the muscles attached to them. This would be like removing some of the bricks from the base of a chimney and watching it slowly lean and crumble over months and years. The only accurate way to determine if someone has a slipped disk is by CT scan or MRI.

Back Pain in Dogs Introduction Some 70-80 % of all dogs suffer at least once in their life from backaches. Disorders of the spinal vertebrae and their associated backaches belong therefore to any list of most-frequent illnesses in many breeds, particularly the German Shepherd Dog. The chosen treatment procedures are dependent on: the cause; the extent; the pain location; the neurological finding; the dog’s age and previous or other illnesses. Symptoms Frequently the owners reports that the dog no longer wants to jump out of or into the car, climb or run down the staircase well, shows difficulty getting up after lying a long time, does not play very long, has paralysis or a paresis of the limbs, bunny-hops at a gait faster than a walk, or shows that it is uncomfortable in climbing decidedly steep places.

Many things can cause low back injuriesmuscle strain or spasm, sprains of ligaments (which attach bone to bone), joint problems or a "slipped disk." The most common cause is using your back muscles in activities you're not used to, like lifting heavy furniture or doing yard work. A slipped disk happens when the disk between the bones bulges and presses on nerves. This is often caused by twisting while lifting. But many people won't know what caused their slipped disk. Return to top What can I do for relief when I've hurt my lower back? The best position for relief when your back hurts is to lie on your back on the floor with pillows under your knees, with your hips and knees bent and your feet on a chair, or just with your hips and knees bent. This takes the pressure and weight off your back. If you're resting a hurt back, you may need 1 to 2 days of this sort of rest. Resting longer than this can cause your muscles to weaken, which can slow your recovery. Even if it hurts, walk around for a few minutes every hour.

Backache BASIC INFORMATION "For Informational Use Only" For more detailed information contact your health care provider about options that may be available for your specific situation. DESCRIPTION Nearly 80 percent of adults are affected by back pain at some point in their lives. It is one of the most common reasons for hospitalization in the United States. A variety of problems in the muscles, tendons, bones, ligaments, or an underlying organ, such as the kidney, may cause backaches. Aches and pain in the lower back can be a chronic problem. Lumbago is a folk term for muscle pain in the lower back, near the pelvis. Chronic or acute pain. Muscle fatigue. Sudden loss of urinary and/or bowel incontinence, difficulty moving and/or weakness of leg, pain and/or numbness are signs of spinal cord nerve damage. Do not move and call for medical assistance. Stiffness. Numbness and/or tingling in limbs. Swelling. Spinal subluxation. Pain radiating into legs. CAUSES The leading cause of back pain is simple muscle strain. Although symptoms may come on suddenly and can be acutely painful, this is actually a problem that develops over a long period of time. When muscles contract, lactic acid and pyruvic acid are produced as byproducts of muscular activity. It is the presence of lactic acid in the muscles that produces the familiar sensation of muscle fatigue following strenuous activity. If high levels of these acidic byproducts accumulate in the muscles, they cause irritation that can eventually turn into pain and interfere with the normal conduction of electrical impulses in the muscle tissue. This results in a condition called
