What else can I help you with?
Following a car crash you have now been advised that in your lumber spine you have a mild s shaped scoliosos but preserved vertebral alignment what does this mean?
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine, which often is noticed in childhood to teen years. It creates an abnormal curve in the vertebral spine. In severe scoliosis, the spinal vertebra can twist or curve so drastically that it misaligns the vertebra and places pressure on the spinal cord. However, yours is mild with no misalignment of the spine, therefore, chances are that you have no spinal cord entrapment. However, you should talk to your doctor about whether you need a brace, physical therapy, or specific exercises to prevent the condition from getting worse.
What is the overall shape of the vertebral column?
There are essentially 3 curves in the human spine: 1. Cervical lordotic curve 2. Thoracic kyphotic curve 3. Lumbar lordotic curve In summary the human spine has 2 lordotic curves and 1 kyphotic curve. If you are looking at a person sideways with their face facing towards your left, the lordotic curve is concave and the kyphotic curve is convex.
What does the spine look like?
The spine is a flexible column made up of individual vertebrae that are stacked on top of each other. It has a natural S-shaped curve when viewed from the side, consisting of cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal regions. It provides support for the body, protects the spinal cord, and allows for movement.
When does a J-shaped curve convert to an S-shaped curve?
An "S' curve (on a population chart) reaches its carrying capacity and levels out, while a "J" curve hits its carrying capacity and just continues causing a population explosion and competition for resources.
In describing abnormal curvatures it could be said that kyphosis is an exaggerated thoracic curvature and in what the vertebral column is displaced laterally?
Kyphosis is an excessive outward curvature of the thoracic spine, causing a rounded or hunched posture. Scoliosis, on the other hand, is a lateral deviation or sideways displacement of the vertebral column, resulting in an S or C-shaped curve.
Is scoliosis a backwards curve of the spine?
No. Scoliosis is a sideways curve of the spine. Mine looks like the letter S from behind.
What is skoleosis?
a curve in the spine almost like an s' shape
What is a logistic function or curve?
A logistic function or curve is a mathematical function having an S shape, known as sigmoid curve. The name was given by Pierre Francois Verhulst in either the year of 1844 or 1845.
Is an S curve in your spine bad?
the spine is S curved but not if you look directly on towards you back. Only from the side view is it s curved. It dips in to you neck and out on your upper back then back in on lower back. But the spine should not curve any other way The spine should look straight from the front In reality almost everybody has at least a little bit of an S-shaped curve if you look from the front (on an Xray). It's how severe the curve is, that makes it bad. When it's bad enough to cause problems, or might cause problems, they call that condition "scoliosis" Plus, for people who have enough of a scoliosis curve to matter, the curves you can see from the side usually are exaggerated -- you know, more curvy than they should be. This can add to the person's problems.
What does it mean if you have scoliosis?
It means that your spine is curved. It can be a very minor curve that you don't have to worry about or it be curved like a "s" or "c".
In what ways do kyphosis scoliosis and lordosis differ from each other?
Lordosis is the flattening of the natural curve in the lumbar spine, or "flat back." That natural curve is the slight S shape that you see in someone's back when they stand sideways or lie down on their stomachs. Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. With scoliosis, the vertebrae make an S or C shape when viewed head-on.
Is jumping on a trampoline bad for your back?
Yes it is it will curve your spine if u constantly keep doing "tricks" or "cool moves". People don't know but it may be fun and all, but it can lead to scoliosis(a curve in the spine in the curve of an S or C.I hope this helped you:)
What is a Lateral tilt of the spine is called?
A lateral tilt of the spine is also known as scoliosis. It is a condition in which the spine curves sideways, leading to an S-shaped or C-shaped curve. Scoliosis can vary in severity and may require treatment depending on the degree of curvature.
What are symptoms of cervical lordosis?
If you look at someone from the side, you notice that the spine is shaped a little like an "S"... The low portion of your back is called the lumbar area. What the above means is that the lumbar area of this "S" shape in straightened --or flattened-- thus producing a straightened lower spine... It usually occurs with back spasms, but maight not really be important... The spine is shaped like this to allow better balancing for standing.
Is a baby born with a straight spine?
No, a baby's spine looks something like a C when they're born. Over time, as they become able to lift their head, crawl and ultimately walk the spine changes and develops the normal S-shape.
What is the medical term meaning three abnormal curvatures of the spine?
KyphosisLordosisScoliosislordosis- abnormal inwardkyphosis- abnormal backwardscoliosis- abnormal lateralLordosis. Also called swayback, the spine of a person with lordosis curves significantly inward at the lower back.Kyphosis. Kyphosis is characterized by an abnormally rounded upper back (more than 50 degrees of curvature).Scoliosis. A person with scoliosis has a sideways curve to their spine. The curve is often S-shaped or C-shaped.
What is the function of sigmoid?
A sigmoid is a mathematical function that is shown on a curve. It essentially shows data on a graph or chart but only ends up showing that data in the shape of an S.
