Cervical Neck Pain / Foraminal Stenosis 00/ Ruptured Disk /Understanding Scoliosis
Cervical Neck Pain
Do you feel some kind of pinching or sharp pain in your neck or the lower neck region. The pain is felt more when you move your neck or shoulders. The pain also causes some numbness in the area and you feel some tingling sensation. Then I am sorry to say that you might be suffering from cervical neck pain.
There are some possible ways due to which the cervical neck pain arises, either sudden fall hurting the neck, or injury of some kind on your cervical spine, or from old age stenosis problems. Now its you who can decide whether you got hurt or its your age that is creating the problem.
From injury two things can happen- a spasm of the muscles or herniated disc. In muscles spasms the pain will be relieved after taking some medications and rest for two three days. But if its herniated disc or stenosis of old age the cervical back pain of yours is not going to leave you so easily.
As we age, degeneration of the spinal bones takes place. The spinal canal narrows down and constricts or protrudes the muscles or the nerves or the spinal cord running through the vertebra. In herniated disc, due to injury the cushions in the spinal joints get raptured and bulge out hurting or impinging the nerves attached to the cervical spine.
The deteriorating disc in neck needs some special medical care. Some medications are given to stop the pain and swelling in case it occurs. But the most important aspect is less movements of the neck and complete rest. The cervical neck pain needs some time to go away and to cure completely. You can use collars for less movement of necks. After the pain goes away, try out some exercises to avoid the cervical neck pain.

Foraminal Stenosis
Stenosis in greek means “choking” and foraminal stenosis is a type of spinal stenosis, which is infact the most common type of spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis is generally referred to the degeneration of the spine and foraminal stenosis is referred to that state where without any herniation of the discs narrowing of the cervical discs occurs.
Regarding the causes of foraminal stenosis, we have a myriad of reasons for it. Ankylosing, Osteoarthritis, Hip Osteoarthritis are some of the dominant factors. Also, the cause could be due to some particular type of strenous activity or a particular position or posture of yours. The symptoms are quite difficult to track down as the pain progresses very slowly and it might take years to become a severe one. The pain is not even a continuous one. Sometimes you might persist the problem for years and do not even know that you have the problem, so you need to confirm whether you really have foraminal stenosis only through a CT Scan or an MRI SCAN with myelogram.
Treatment options for these type of spine disorder are numerous. But the simple types of treatments like prescribed medicines and exercise are not of much help although traction might palliate some bit of pain. The two most preferred type of treatments available for foraminal stenosis are the Activity modification and surgery. Activity modification refers to some types of special exercises to correct our sitting or standing postures and also some back pain therapy to treat our back and lower back pain.
In the case of surgery, the disc is removed in order to create more room for the spine nerves. The surgery is an absolutely safe and quite an effective one, and normally takes 4 to 6 weeks for the patient to recover. But, before you go for a surgery do think over it seriously and always consult a good doctor.

Ruptured Disk
The disks are parts of the spinal cord. The disks are made up of soft cartilages and they separate the vertebrae of the spinal column. The main function of the spinal discs is to act as shock absorber and also to support elasticity, which aids mobility. If a rupture occurs in a disc, then it is called a ruptured disk.
When a ruptured disc occurs, the soft materials that make the disk come out through the smooth bindings of the vertebrae bones or the spinal joints. A rupture can make the disk compressed or bulge out of portion. This can cause irritation to a nerve root, resulting in great pain. Sometimes the injury is so severe that the elevated disc damages some of the nerves.
What are the symptoms of a ruptured disk?
The usual symptoms of ruptured disk are loss of sensation in that area, tremendous pain in the area where the rupture has occurred. Tingling effect may also occur accompanied with numbness. Swelling may take place and the area becomes heated up. If your rupture has occurred in the lumbar region, there might be the possibility of the disc protruding on the sciatica nerve. In that case, the pain will start at the buttock region and travel down to the legs as well. It can reach to ankle joints as well. Prolonged pressure on the sciatica nerve will cause leg weakness. It’s very little known that a ruptured disk can also cause irregular bowel movements and also affect the blander of the kidneys.
A ruptured disc can occur in any part of the back and cause you a lot of trouble. If it occurs in the neck region it is called neck spondylosis. If it happens in thoracic region, it is called cervical spondylosis.

Understanding Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition which is more common among young children and adolescents. It happens because of an abnormal curvature in the spine. This condition is regarded as genetic. It is more frequent among children usually before puberty and more prone among girls. If not treated in childhood, it can progress to adulthood and cause lifelong bending of the spine. There are instances of 70 degrees and more of bending causing permanent damage to the spine. Usually, scoliosis surgery is carried out when it has been found that the spine is taking a curvature of more than 30 to 40 degrees.
Scoliosis cannot be traced easily as it does not cause pain in the initial years and the curvature may be ignored. Common symptoms include abnormal shape of the shoulders, hips, waist, or standing in an inclined position. Treatment requires careful understanding of things like the precise age at which the problem began, whether anyone in his family had that problem, and the severity of the problem. Sometimes, the problem may be further complicated due to permanent nerve damage that has already occurred along the spinal column.
Scoliosis surgery is carried out when it is seen that the curved spine is progressing and the degree of curvature is increasing. Surgery is suggested with the intention of fusing the spine, so that it doesn't bend more with adulthood. The curvature of the spine doesn't stop until it’s commanded externally. Some other preventive measures include orthopedic braces. But they have a limitation and their use should be initiated at an early age. Scoliosis is a problem that can be managed well if detected early, thus it is the detection of scoliosis that needs to be stressed upon. Children showing any signs of unwanted or unintentional curvature in the spine should be sent to an orthopedic for checking the initiation of scoliosis.
