Extractions: Your lumbar spine (low back) is made of five vertebrae separated by cartilaginous disks that serve as the "shock absorbers" of the spine. They act as a cushion between the bones and allow some flexibility of the lower back. Degenerative changes or trauma may rupture the annulus fibrosus, the tough band of cartilage surrounding each disk, and disk material may bulge or herniate into the spinal canal or nerve root canal. The herniated or bulging piece of the disk or degenerative bone spur may compress the spinal cord or nerve root, causing pain in the back or "tingling and numbness" that may radiate to the buttocks, hips, groin, or legs. The pain from a bulging or herniated disk is worse on movement and may be worsened by coughing, laughing, or straining while having a bowel movement. Some patients also have weakness, clumsiness, drop foot, or walking intolerance. Living With Your Diagnosis Degenerative changes in the disks are a normal process as we age. Tobacco abuse, poor posture, and strenuous work with poor lifting technique may accelerate the degenerative changes. The disks gradually become worn, less plump, and eventually flattened. When the disk space becomes narrow enough that the vertebrae rub one another, then wear and tear changes develop at the edges of the vertebrae. This wear and tear causes bone spurs to develop that may begin to press on the end of the spinal cord and/or one of its nerve roots. As the nerve becomes irritated, it may cause back and leg pain, tingling and numbness, or weakness in the legs or feet. Rarely, with extremely large, acute disk herniations, a loss of bladder and bowel control may occur.

Concerns about safety, especially the risk of anaphylaxis and the risk of damage to the spinal cord, were frequent. The effectiveness of this procedure for this indication was also questioned by many of the panelists. The panel did agree that chemonucleolysis is unacceptable as either safe or effective for use in patients with a herniated lumbar disk that is extruding nucleus pulposus through the annulus. Accordingly, diagnostic

Extractions: Herniated Disk What Is It? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration ... Additional Info What Is It? The disks in your spine, called intervertebral disks, are thin, oblong structures that serve as cushions between the bones of your back (vertebrae). Each disk is made of a soft gel core surrounded by a tough, fibrous outer shell. This structure allows the disk to be firm enough to maintain the space between the vertebrae, but soft enough to compress when the spine flexes during bending, leaning and turning sideways.

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 sacrummade up of five vertebrae fused togethersupports 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: Summary Side view of herniated lumbar disk. For many, the only treatment is surgical removal of part of the herniated disk; a major traumatic operation that requires anesthesia, the dissection of muscle and removal of bone and bone fusion. Now there is a new and less traumatic procedure for some disk patients known as percutaneous micro-decompression cervical/lumbar discectomy with laser thermodiskoplasty, an outpatient procedure.

Lumbar radiculopathy; Cervical radiculopathy; Herniated intervertebral disk; Prolapsed intervertebral disk; Slipped disk; Ruptured disk 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, which provide cushioning to the spinal column. These disks may herniate (move out of place) or rupture from trauma or
