What does an epidural help you on?
During labor. Epidural analgesia, sometimes called an epidural block, causes some loss of feeling in the lower areas of your body, yet you remain awake and alert. An epidural block may be given soon after your contractions start, or later as your labor progresses. An epidural block with more or stronger medications (anesthetics, not analgesics) can be used for a cesarean delivery or if vaginal birth requires the help of forceps or vacuum extraction. Your doctors will work with you to determine the proper time to give the epidural.
What would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damage or transected?
There are a number of things that would happen if the ventral root of a spinal nerve were damage or transected, This would mainly cause the loss of the sensory function and there would be neuropathic pain among other effects.
What is the tumor which is described as a fluid cavity within the spinal cord that can enlarge slowly leading to pain and sensation loss in limbs or weakness?
Syringomyelia
Would there be a loss of sensory or motor function when someone damages the dorsal root of a spinal nerve?
Yes this can happen when any nerve is damaged but this is a greater danger if its an actual Spinal Nerve.
What would happen if the following structures were damaged or transected 1. dorsal root of spinal nerve 2. ventral root of spinal cord 3. ventral ramus of spinal cord?
loss of both the motor and sensory functions
Where does epidural go?
Epidural Analgesia - Epidural analgesia, sometimes called an epidural block, causes some loss of feeling in the lower areas of your body, yet you remain awake and alert. An epidural block may be given soon after your contractions start, or later as your labor progresses. An epidural block with more or stronger medications (anesthetics, not analgesics) can be used for a cesarean delivery or if vaginal birth requires the help of forceps or vacuum extraction. Your doctors will work with you to determine the proper time to give the epidural.An epidural block is given in the lower back into a small area (the epidural space) below the spinal cord. You will be asked to sit or lie on your side with your back curved outward and to stay this way until the procedure is completed. You can move when it's done, but you may not be allowed to walk around.Source: http://www.lifelinetomodernmedicine.com/ArticlePage.aspx?ID=e746e318-69c5-4fef-aa4d-899a827d08c0&LandingID=4f04afc4-4f77-4eff-b20c-01e6e6ede922
Why and how do you shrink when you get older?
The spinal column decreases in overall height due to a softening and flattening of the vertebral bones, as well as a loss of fluid contained in the discs between the bones.
What are the risks of Spinal decompression therapy?
All treatments have associated risks, at includes spinal decompression therapy. Increased pain, exacerbation or worsening of your condition is possible, but very small if you are screened well before receiving the treatment. Spinal fusion surgeries are an absolute contraindication as well as severe osteoperosis. Obviously if you have a spinal fracture, this is not appropriate. We routinely treat severely painful spinal conditions with spinal decompression therapy.
