   Extractions: Click Here for Animated Demonstration of Disk Herniation Fig. 1: Artists rendering of herniated disk Fig. 2: CT scan showing herniated dis k Fig. 3: MRI showing herniated disk The lumbar intervertebral disk is made up of a fibrous outer ring called the annulus and a gelatinous inner portion called the nucleus (fig. 1). The disk acts as a cushion between the vertebral bodies. When herniation occurs, the nucleus pushes through the annulus of the disk producing pressure on the nerve root and/or cauda equina. This is demonstrated on the CT scan (fig. 2), the MRI (fig. 3) and the myelogram (fig. 4). Nearly all patients complain of leg pain (sciatica) in the distribution of one or more nerve roots. Some have back pain as well. Frequently, patients can be treated conservatively with success. However, when their ability to perform normal day to day functions is degraded for a substantial period of time (4-6 weeks), or in the presence of progressing neurological deficit (i.e. foot drop, loss of control of bowel and bladder, cauda equina syndrome), lumbar microdiskectomy is the most effective treatment. During microdiskectomy, the offending disk fragment and much of the loose nucleus are removed through a small, one to two inch incision (figs. 5-8). With success rates of around 90%, patients are able to return to work and full activity in an average of about 10 weeks. Our group has the most extensive experience in Western New York performing outpatient microdiskectomy. In the past 3 years, we have performed more than 1000 of these procedures successfully. Patients prefer this to overnight stay in the hospital.

Other links Herniated Lumbar Disk Excessive weight, bad postures, undue movements, improper weight lifting and other kind of traumas may weaken the inter vertebral disks. When this occurs the pulpous nucleus (spongy center) will bulge against the annulus (outer ring), or even be squeezed through it (extruded disk). If this bulged, or herniated disk, presses one of the nerves, it will produce pain going down the leg, in the distribution of the nerve, and maybe in the lower back. Sciatic pain occurs when the disk presses one of the nerves that form the sciatic nerve. Other symptoms could be weakness, tingling or numbness on the areas corresponding to the affected nerve. Sometimes bladder compromise is also present, which is made evident for urine retention and this need to be taken care as an emergency. The first steps to deal with a herniated or prolapsed lumbar disk are conservative. These include rest, analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication and in some cases physical therapy. At this point it is convenient to have some plain X-rays done, in search of some indirect evidence of the disk problem, as well as of degenerative changes on the spine.

Other links It is a novel treatment, which could be considered as natural medicine, however it has to be applied by an specialized doctor. The pioneers in the use of this treatment are the Italian spinal surgeons, who have demonstrated its effectiveness in thousands of patients [ ] and have conducted multicentric studies to prove it. [ The results are comparable to those of surgery, good in 80% of the patients, with the advantage that it is done ambulatory(the patient goes home the same day), with local anesthesia and practically without any pain. This procedure can also be used in the herniated cervical disks. It has the advantage over the laser diskectomy that it can be used very effectively in extruded disks Treatment consist of three stages: Application of ozone injections on the paravertebral muscles, as an outpatient.

    Extractions: The cervical vertebrae are the seven vertebrae that form the upper part of your spine, between the skull and the chest. The thoracic vertebrae are the 12 bones between your neck and your lower back.  Thoracic vertebrae have cup-shaped surfaces called facets, in which the ribs rest and connect to the spine.  These ‘joints’ help the ribs to move up and down during breathing. The lumbar vertebrae are the five largest and strongest of all vertebrae.  They are found in your lower back between the chest and hips.  The strong muscles of the back are attached to the lumbar vertebrae. Your sacrum and coccyx are the bones found at the base of your spine.  The triangular sacrum—made up of five vertebrae fused together—supports the spine and connects it to the pelvis.  Your coccyx, or tailbone, is formed from four fused vertebrae and has little function. The vertebral foramen is the hollow part of the vertebrae where the spinal chord (nerve tissues) attaches to your brain and sends signals all over your body.

    Extractions: What is a Disc? A disc is a soft, rubbery pad found between the hard bones that make up the spinal column. The hard bones that make up the spinal column is called the vertebrae. The discs between the vertebrae allow the back to flex and bend. discs also act as shock absorbers. The outer layer of the disc is made out of a tough substance. The outer layers is called the "annulus fibrosus". The inner layer of the disc has a gel-like center called the "nucleus pulposus." What is a Herniated Disc? Herniated discs are also called ruptured discs and slipped discs. Herniated discs are most common in the lumbar spine. The lumbar spine is the part of your backbone between the bottom of your ribs and your hips. Herniated discs are most common in people in their 30s and 40s. Symptoms of a Herniated Disc? The most common symptoms are: back pain pain
