Jeffrey C. Wang, M.D. Assistant Professor, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery University of California, Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA Minimally Invasive Treatment of Spine Disorders Using Focused Ultrasonic Fields This research project will further develop technology and our understanding of intervertebral disk tissue response to locally applied heat. The success of this program will result in a non-invasive treatment for the problem of bulging disks. Our approach is based on a combination of advanced finite element modeling procedures, laboratory tissue experiments and the development of special transducer design configurations to determine the tissue response to focused ultrasonic fields which cause localized heating in situ. The Specific Aims are: Identify the attenuation parameters of relevant biological tissues and zone of influence in the treated tissues as a function of applied ultrasound frequency To establish optimal transducer operating characteristics using advanced finite element modeling tools Design and fabricate specialized transducers based on the modeling results Investigate imaging modalities that will enable visualization of the treatment phenomenon in real time.

Home Search For An Osteopath In Your Area Site Search e-mail us Is There Such A Thing As Cervicogenic Headache ? by Amanda J. O'Connor Can cervical spine disorders cause headache? The role of the cervical spine in the aetiology of headache remains controversial despite the fact that there is a substantial body of literature which supports a cervicogenic origin of headache. The notion that disease or dysfunction of structures in the neck may give rise to headaches is however, not new. Lance (1982) quotes a lovely passage by John Hilton written between 1860 and 1862: This description suggests a referred pain pattern from the upper cervical nerves (C2) which supply the scalp at the back of the head to the vertex, and the trigeminal nerve (the 5th nerve), which supplies the face and anterior scalp up to the vertex. For cervical spine disorders to cause head pain there must be i) pain sensitive structures in the neck ii) changes in the neck structures sufficient to cause stimulus to the pain receptors. iii) identifiable neurological pathways from the cervical spine to the head.

FRACTURE RULE OUT [ HERNIATED DISC ] INFLAMMATORY ARTHRITIS KYPHOSIS: SCHEUERMANN'S DISEASE / JUVENILE DISCOGENIC DISEASE MULTIPLY OPERATED BACK NECK DISORDERS ... TREATMENT COMMON SYMPTOMS OF HERNIATED DISCS A patient with a herniated or "slipped" disc can have leg and/or back pain. The most common presenting complaint is that of shooting pain down one or, although uncommon, both legs. The pain will typically travel from the back or buttocks to below the knee, following the path of a specific nerve root. The following are drawings of typical nerve root distributions. The pain does not always fit neatly into one of these patterns, but it is helpful in determining which disc is herniated. Additionally, a patient may experience numbness or weakness with a herniated disc. The numbness is most frequently reported to be in the calf, the sole of the foot or the big toe. The weakness is often experienced by the patient as an inability to walk up the stairs normally or to walk on the toes. The weakness might present as an inability to lift the foot while walking (a "foot-drop"), or weakness in flexing or extending the knee, foot, or leg.

Treatment of Spine Disorders Up to 80% of back problems respond to nonoperative treatment within three weeks. These treatment include anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy, activities modification, and/or bracing. A discectomy is performed to remove the portion of a disc which is herniated against a nerve root. With modern techniques, the incision is small, the recovery is quick, with many people going home the same day or the day after surgery, and the results are excellent, particularly for relief of leg pain due to the compressed nerve root. Many patients will notice improvement in their leg symptoms before they leave the hospital. Likewise, a nerve root compressed by arthritis may be decompressed by removing the bone spurs and hypertrophied ligament associated with the arthritis. Occasionally, two vertebral bodies must be fused together if a large amount of the joint must be removed. There are so many motion segments in the spine, however, that it is unusual to notice any overall loss of motion. Specialties Physicians Office Information Orthopaedic Injury Index ...

Spine Disorders Disc Herniation Fortunately, most episodes of back pain disappear quickly without treatment. Only a small percentage ever need a physician. See your Doctor if the pain persists beyond a few days or the pain is increasing. In general, too many MRIs are ordered for back pain. MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a very expensive and specialized test often used to study your spine. Only when back pain persists longer than expected and fails to respond to usual treatment should an MRI be ordered and a referral made to a spine specialist. The spine is made up of four main parts: the cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (upper back), lumbar spine (lower back), and sacrum (pelvis). There is a disc between every two adjacent vertebra (building blocks of the spine). They act as shock absorbers and in combination with other parts enable motion of the spine. They are made up of an outer ring (annulus) and a soft spongy center (nucleus). When a tear occurs in the annulus and nuclear material is forced out of the disc. Frequently, the displaced disc material comes in contact with a spinal nerve. When a herniated disc causes compression of a nerve resulting in pain shooting down the back of your leg to the foot.

You may also have experienced some weakness when using your arms or hands. You may be wondering if there is a chance that everything will return to normal or whether the surgery that may have been talked about is very risky. These questions and concerns can be addressed by your neurosurgeon, who is a physician trained in the surgical treatment of disorders of the nervous system. He will ask a number of questions and then perform a neurological examination. Following a review of any x-rays or other diagnostic tests you may have brought with you, additional tests may be ordered if further information is needed. Finally, he will propose a course of treatment which may or may not involve surgery. The decisions regarding your care should be reached after discussions between you, your family and your neurosurgeon.

Spine Surgery Rehabilitation Common Spine Disorders Common Spine Disorders Spondylolisthesis A slippage of one vertebra over the one below it, most commonly in the lumbar (lower back) area. It may develop in a weakened area of the vertebra during childhood or adolescent years, or later in life as a result of degeneration. Spinal Stenosis Narrowing of the spinal canal, nerve root channel and/or intervertebral foramen. Spinal stenosis may be congenital, but most often is attributed to the normal aging process. Sciatica Pain radiating from the back and down the leg. Ruptured Disc/Bulging Disc/"Slipped Disc" Age or injury may cause discs to dry out or degenerate. As this happens, the jelly like nucleus may bulge into the annulus, causing pain and pressure. If a sudden movement or injury causes a rupture of the annulus (torn annulus), the nucleus squeezes out and irritates the nearby nerves. Radiculopathy Most often referred to as a pinched nerve ; may cause pain in the upper extremities, thorax, or legs. Spinal Instability As a disk degenerates and flattens, vertebrae may become unstable, slipping back and forth irritating facet joints and nerves.
