Narrow vertebral canal

With the increasing coarseness small joints and cartilage erosion, perhaps arises narrowing of the spinal canal. Vertebral canal is that the vacuum tube of the spinal column that contains the spinal cord and nerve roots along. Narrow and gets when Palace happens in the length of the large ligaments that cross the space between each two paragraphs, was accompanied by a large fish in the ligaments. And then narrows the stream channel and push these structures on the nerves in the spinal canal.

Such a stenosis that leads to pain in the leg while walking and while standing, and relaxes the pain usually hide if sitting or lying down on the back. These symptoms and know the language of medicine b «lame neurasthenic», it is important medically indistinguishable from the similar and similar pain that moves and radiates in the lower leg and is caused by problems in the circulatory system, or pain caused by hip or caused by nerve disorders in patients with diabetes roughness type . Typically accurately is a narrow spinal canal diagnosis through CT scans or magnetic resonance images. And are in some cases the use of the test fee muscle power and test the speed rating and the degree of nerve conduction, so the distinction between this case and nerve injury in diabetics.

Non-surgical treatment is eating types of analgesics and anti-inflammatory medication, and exercise performance, and conduct physical therapy to strengthen muscles. Sometimes, the injection of a local anesthetic or a drug cortisone in soft and soft tissues, ie, muscles and ligaments, or spinal canal, specifically in the area of ​​«epidural» coated spinal cord and so near the roots of certain nerves linked to causing pain.

If these remedial actions did not lead to reduce or eliminate symptoms of the patient, then it may be necessary to remove the pressure and distress over the surgery in paragraph infected. This is a very effective surgery and allows patients to walk for longer distances and better and to stand for longer periods without pain. The surgery include the removal of the pressure on the nerve roots by removing the ceiling of the vertebral canal, ie the eradication of what is known medically Corrugated poor, and then expand the blanks from which the nerve root of that channel, any expansion of the neural tube.

The surgeon may see during the operation, it is necessary to do as well as merging paragraphs infected if there is instability in the strength of its location within the spine. But it is important to remember that integrate and install paragraphs process is to conduct leading to the healing of spinal blocks and docking with each other by using the pieces of bone taken from either the tub or from the bone bank. In many cases, using metal plates, screws and any columns, so as to help maintain the stability of the strength of those paragraphs during the healing of spinal fusion.

And the duration of the patient's stay in hospital be longer if a spinal fusion operation, shorter if not taken place. And peek in both cases, we need to stay in hospital to receive treatment from the rehabilitation department to help regain strength and movement of the muscles and joints, particularly if the patient has some weakness and wasting before surgery or too advanced in age.
