Physiological curvature of the spine disappears

Introduction The normal spine segments have a certain curvature due to human physiological needs, which is called physiological curvature. Due to long-term sitting posture, poor sleeping posture and dehydration and degeneration of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc, the lordosis of the cervical vertebra can gradually disappear or even become straight. Or curved in reverse. It can be divided into cervical type with neck symptoms, nerve roots with nerve root involvement, spinal cord type of limb movement and sensory disturbance, and vertebral artery type caused by sympathetic nerve stimulation around the vertebral artery. And the esophagus type that has swallowing discomfort or difficulty in the esophagus.

Cause

Mainly due to the compression of the nerves and local metabolic cycle caused by spinal stenosis, which can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus and other symptoms. Cervical spondylosis has cervical hyperosteogeny, normal curvature variation and cervical disc herniation, mainly due to Caused by nerve compression. It depends on what nerves are actually oppressed. It can be divided into cervical type with neck symptoms, nerve roots with nerve root involvement, spinal cord type of limb movement and sensory disturbance, and vertebral artery type caused by sympathetic nerve stimulation around the vertebral artery. And the esophagus type that has swallowing discomfort or difficulty in the esophagus. The main reactions are pain, dizziness, vomiting, hand numbness, insomnia, and reflex pain. If you do not pay close attention to treatment, the disease will further develop, and may also lead to irregular rhythm, decreased vision, facial paralysis or upper limb muscle atrophy and other serious consequences.

Spinal MRI examination of mammography

Spinal physiologic bending disappearance examination diagnosis: dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus and other symptoms, through the spine MRI (spine MRI examination of the spine MRI is the diagnosis of spinal and spinal cord disease MRI is significantly higher than CT, source display, positioning Accurate, can be used as the preferred method of examination. Take X-ray film for diagnosis.

Differential diagnosis

Spinal degeneration: Nearly a hundred years of medical research have shown that when the development of the intervertebral disc is completed, the degeneration of the human body begins. The spine is the longitudinal axis of the human body. It supports body weight and dominates the physiological activities of the trunk including flexion, flexion, and rotation. Under normal circumstances, the spine is the most prone to chronic strain in the human body. The degeneration of the spine is most common in the lumbar spine, followed by the cervical spine, which is relatively rare. Bone hyperplasia, degeneration of the spinal disc is the most common pathological change. Spinal degeneration can be divided into three phases. The first phase is the dysfunctional phase, which occurs between the ages of 15 and 45 and is characterized by peripheral and radial tears of the intervertebral disc and localized synovitis of the facet. This stage of patients mostly showed lumbar pain, mainly with dull pain and pain. Examination can reveal disc herniation and even protrusion. The second phase is the unstable phase, seen in patients aged 35-70. In this stage, patients with intervertebral disc tear, progressive absorption, articular process degeneration accompanied by joint capsule relaxation, subluxation and articular surface destruction. Examination can reveal disc herniation, prolapse, instability of the spine, spinal stenosis and even degree I slip. The third phase is a stable phase, occurring in the elderly over the age of 60, characterized by progressive hypertrophy of the bone around the disc and facet joints, resulting in segmental stiffness or obvious rigidity. This patient is mainly characterized by the symptoms of spinal stenosis. The pain in the spine is obvious, especially the change in body position is obvious pain, and the walking function is obviously affected. If the walking is less than 300 meters, the pain is unbearable, and it is necessary to stop and rest to partially relieve. . The age distinction between these three stages is not absolute. Under the influence of many incorrect postures, living habits and mental states, many relatively young patients may enter the next course of the disease.

Damage to the spinal nerve root: Inflammatory and degenerative diseases of the spinal nerve root caused by a variety of causes. The lesion can invade the neck, chest, and waist. The spinal nerve root of any segment. Clinically, cervical and thoracic nerve roots and lumbosacral nerves are most often involved, causing shoulder and back pain and low back pain. The onset can be urgent. Often infected. Poisoned. Nutritional metabolic disorders. Spinal disease. Paravertebral muscle trauma and inflammation. A history of transverse trauma and other injuries. There is radioactive numbness within the inner root of the damaged nerve root. pain. Such as thoracic radiculitis caused by intercostal neuralgia; cervical thoracic radiculitis has shoulder and neck to the upper limb ulnar or (and) temporal pain; lumbosacral radiculitis manifested from the lumbosacral to the lower limbs or (and) lateral And foot pain and so on. Often due to cold. cough. Defecation or the like induces or aggravates the symptoms. In the area of the affected root root distribution. Different degrees of lower motor neuron spasm: muscle weakness. Muscle atrophy. Reflection decreases or disappears. For example, the symptoms of cervical and thoracic nerve roots occur in the scapular and upper limbs; the symptoms of lumbosacral nerve roots are found in the lower limbs. The sacral nerve root damage is heavier and there is a loss of bladder and sexual dysfunction. When the lesion involves the arachnoid, it is called meningeal-nerveitis. If the spinal cord is involved at the same time, it is called spinal cord-meningo-nerradine. It can produce symptoms of spinal arachnoid inflammation. There are symptoms and signs of the cause of the primary disease.
