In Lumbar disc prolapse causes can include aging, bad posture, trauma, jerks. The lumbar vertebrae are the part of the spine that bears the weight of the upper body including the head and neck and is therefore designed specifically for weight bearing.
A fracture is partial or complete bone breakage. The spine bones may break into specific small fragments due to different causes such as degeneration, kyphosis, osteoporosis, shallow thrust, accident, or free-fall. The broken pieces or fractures may cause spine problems or nerve pinches.
Lumbar spinal spondylolysis ortho stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower part of the back. This puts pressure on the spinal cord. It is a prevalent cause of low back and leg pain or sciatica. The most common cause of lumbar spine stenosis is osteoarthritis, age-related wear, and tear of the joints. The other causes are:
Spinal fixation is necessary when spine is unstable due to fracture , Spondylosis, disc prolapse, normal ageing or scoliosis
Endoscopic surgery decompression is a minimally invasive surgery that utilizes an endoscopic camera and precisional surgical instruments to access the spine through a very small incision (less than one inch). The procedure allows surgeons to better visualize the disc and nerves of the operational site. Endoscopic is an adept procedure in treating nerve compression usually caused by narrowing of the spine column, bone spurs, scoliosis, spondylosis, bulging discs, herniated discs, and facet arthritis.
Cervical disc prolapse can occur due to ageing , weight lifting bad posture , trauma Patients can have neck pain shooting down their hands . It can be treated with medical management in most patient some patients may need surgery
Spinal tuberculosis is the lower thoracic and upper lumbar vertebrae. The source of infection is usually outside the spine. It is most often spread from the lungs via the blood. There is a combination of osteomyelitis and infective arthritis.
Spinal tumors are an abnormal growth of cells in and around the spinal cord. Spinal tumors are commonly due to deposits of cancer cells from elsewhere in the body, secondary/metastatic tumors, rather than primary tumors which arise from the spinal tissue itself. These tumors can be of two types, benign or malignant.
