What is anterior spondylotic change l3-l4?
impression; anterior spondylotic changes at c5-c6 level
What does multilevel neural foraminal encroachment and cord abutment mean?
What are the symptoms and treatments for degenerative changes lumbar spine with multilevel foramina encroachment
What does mild spondylotic degenerative changes mean?
Mild degenerative changes of the spine means that there is some loss of bone in the spine. This can happen for many reasons.
What is mild degenerative changes in the thoracic spine?
curveture in the thoratic spine
Does sitting relieve pain from scoliosis?
I have pain is lumbar area that is relieved with sitting. I know I have scoliosis, I believe it came about after I suffered a tibial plateau fracture and after 10 years of no back pain. Is my pain from scoliosis or is it spinal arthritic changes?
What is Thoracic spondylosis?
A degenerative joint disease affecting the thoracic spine, causing local pain and stiffness. Associated with degenerative changes in the thoracic spine. ICD code 721.2, 721.41, 722.72,or 722.92
What are degenerative changes?
Degenerative changes occur when the spine makes manifestations on its own. This often results in serious and painful problems related to the back such as osteoporosis or scoliosis.
Does the thoracic cavity change size and shape?
As you grow, of course the chest cavity changes shape as you grow. The thoracic cavity does change shape internally, even when the rib cage does not appear to move. The thoracic diaphragm is most important in breathing, and does much of our breathing.
What is mild levoconvex scoliosis of the mid lumbar spine?
Curvature of the vertebral column resulting from the column turning on its axis. The upper two vertebrae in the cervical spine, the atlas and the axis, differ from the other vertebrae because they are designed specifically for rotation. These two vertebrae are the reason your neck can move in so many directions. Mid Spine = Thoracic Lumbar Spine = Below the Thoracic vertebraes - your lumbar spine consists of 5 discs/vertebrae.
When i got my mri report it quotes minor spondylitic change in the cervical spine and lower lumber dehydration but i still have balance walking and breathing problems?
spondylitic (although more likely to be spondylotic) changes and lumbar disc dehydration are both extremely common findings on MRI scans when looking at the spinal column of older people. The discs become dehydrated as we get older and that is why we shrink. spondylotic means wear and tear or degeneration.Neither of these cause breathing problems or imbalance when walking and they were unlikely to have been caused as a result of a problem in the spinal column.
What makes move into and out of the lungs?
Pulmonary ventilation or breathing has two phases. Inspiration or inhalation moves air into the lungs and expiration or exhalation moves air out of the lungs. The lungs are enclosed within the thoracic cavity. Thus changes in the shape and size of the thoracic cavity result in changes in the air pressure within that cavity and in the lungs. This difference in air pressure causes the movement of air into the lungs. Air moves from an area where pressure is high to an area where pressure is low. Respiratory muscles are responsible for the changes in the shape of the thoracic cavity that cause the air movements involved in breathing.The abdominal diaphragm is (or should be) the major muscle driving respiration.Source(s):Structure and function of the body
