SI JOINT FUSION
The sacroiliac joint joins the hip bones to either side of the sacrum and serves largely as a stress absorber between the lower body and the torso. The point where the base of the spine attaches to the pelvis is also known as this joint. A synovial joint and the sacroiliac ligaments make up the sacroiliac joint.
Lower back pain, as well as pelvic, groin, and hip pain, can be caused by sacroiliac joint (also known as the SI joint) dysfunction. Too much motion, too little motion, or joint inflammation can all cause sacroiliac joint trouble.
Spinal Stenosis
When the tiny spinal canal, which contains the nerve roots and spinal cord, becomes compressed, spinal stenosis (or narrowing) occurs. The spinal cord and/or nerve roots are “pinched,” resulting in pain, cramps, weakening, or numbness. You may have these symptoms in your lower back and legs, neck, shoulder, or arms, depending on where the narrowing occurs.
Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis is a disorder affecting the lower vertebrae of the spine (spinal bones). One of the lower vertebrae slips forward onto the bone directly beneath it due to this condition. It’s a painful ailment, but it’s usually treatable. It is possible to utilize both therapeutic and surgical treatments. This problem can be avoided with proper workout practices.
Sciatica
The term “sciatica” is frequently interchanged with “back ache.” Sciatica, on the other hand, is not merely a back problem. The sciatic nerve is the human body’s longest and broadest nerve. It goes down the legs from the lower back to about below the knee, passing through the buttocks.
This nerve provides sensation to the skin of the foot and the majority of the lower leg and regulates various muscles in the lower legs. Sciatica is a sign of another disease involving the sciatic nerve, not a condition. According to some estimates, up to 40% of people will suffer with sciatica at some point throughout their lives.
Herniated Disc
A issue with one of the rubbery cushions (disks) that sit between the various bones (vertebrae) that stack to build your spine is referred to as a herniated disk.
A herniated disk might irritate a neighboring nerve if it occurs in any area of the spine. A herniated disk can cause discomfort, numbness, or weakness in an arm or leg, depending on where it is located.
Spinal Fusion
Spinal fusion is a surgical treatment that is used to treat abnormalities with the spine’s tiny bones (vertebrae). It’s basically a “welding” procedure. The primary concept is to fuse two or more vertebrae together to form a single, solid bone. This is done to either eliminate uncomfortable motion or restore spine stability.
Only when your doctor is able to establish the source of your pain will he or she offer spine surgery. Imaging tests like as x-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans may be used to do this.
