What is a charite disc used for?
It is an implant used to help people with spinal problems. It works by mimicking a natural spinal disc. It keeps the spine aligned while maintaining its natural flexibility.
What is an air discogram?
An air discogram is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the internal structure of a spinal disc. During the procedure, air is injected into the disc, and imaging techniques such as X-rays or CT scans are used to evaluate the disc's integrity and detect any abnormalities. This information can help guide decisions about potential treatment options for spinal conditions.
Can a vertebrae get a transplant?
Transplanting an entire vertebrae is not currently a feasible medical procedure due to the complexity of spinal anatomy and the risks involved. However, there are surgical techniques such as spinal fusion and disc replacement that can help alleviate spinal issues without replacing an entire vertebrae.
What is Decompression therapy?
Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical and drug free treatment for chronic back pain. Patients are placed on a machine which applies a pulling pressure focused on herniated or bulgind disc. This pulling pressure reduces stress on the disc, enabling disc fluid to flow back into the disc, healing the disc and releiving pain associated with the pressure on the spinal cord. Refernces YouTube has a number of videos on spinal decompression. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=spinal+decompression&search_type=&aq=0&oq=spinal+dec Dr. Diego Ruiz of SpinalAid write a Spinal Decompression Blog. http://blog.spinalaidrehab.com
What do Disc provide what to the spinal column?
Discs provide cushioning between the vertebrae in the spinal column, allowing for flexibility and shock absorption in the spine. They also help maintain the space between the vertebrae, which is important for preventing nerve compression and maintaining spinal alignment.
Would chelation help spinal stenosis?
No. Chelation therapy is generally considered to be a scam and is not a legitimate therapy for anything.
What mean intervertebral disc spaces are preserved?
Mean intervertebral disc spaces refer to the average height or distance between adjacent vertebrae in the spine, indicating the health and integrity of the intervertebral discs. When these spaces are preserved, it suggests that the discs are maintaining their normal structure and hydration, which is essential for proper spinal function and mobility. Preservation of these spaces can also indicate a lower risk of degenerative disc disease or other spinal disorders. Regular monitoring through imaging can help assess the condition of these disc spaces over time.
What is the best source of information about degenerative disc disease?
Degenerative disc disease is a spinal condition caused by the breakdown of your intervertebral discs. As you age, your spine begins to show signs of wear and tear as your discs dry out and shrink. The best way to help prevent the onset is exercise.
What function might wax serve for insects that live on land?
On their cuticule, it would help to prevent dessication (drying out), by keeping their water from evaporating.
How do you clean a ps2 disc?
With care not to scratch the disc, if the disc is already scratched the cleaning will not help
What types of issues does spinal decompression therapy help?
No, having a pulled muscle will not be fixed by having spinal decompression. If you have chronic back pain from spinal compression on the discs, then it would help.
What is a joint of the backbone called - not disc?
A joint of the backbone, not including the intervertebral discs, is called a facet joint. These joints are located at the back of the spinal column and help to connect the vertebrae together, providing stability and allowing for movement.
