Carrying out of an ultrasound of the spine

How often pain in the back deprives a person of the opportunity to live and work normally! It is especially difficult when this pain is permanent, you fall asleep and wake up with it. She exhausts and leads into despair. Even a weak permanent pain knocks out of the rut, deprives the joy of life, does not allow full-fledged work. Unfortunately, from year to year the diseases of the spine are becoming an increasing problem, and not only in older people, but also in fairly young patients.

With the most minor, but permanent, or regularly occurring pain in the back, you need to turn to a neurologist and make a spine ultrasound to determine the presence or absence of neurological diseases that are not associated with inflammatory processes that can deform the spine (kyphosis, scoliosis, spondylosis, Osteochondrosis).

Until recently, it was considered impossible to start treatment without a procedure such as examining the spine on an X-ray machine. And this is natural, because without knowing the cause of the pain, it can not be treated.

Quite often the patient's pains are categorically forbidden without any examination to perform any manipulation. Fortunately, medical science is rapidly developing, and doctors are already equipped with excellent techniques for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of such a complex mechanism as the spine.

Diseases that affect him, without proper treatment, are capable, sooner or later, of a person of any age to disable work, and, moreover, to cause his immobility. Accurately diagnose the disease helps defanoterapiya and ultrasound The spine. Any pain that a person suffers or "jams" with anesthetic medications prescribed for themselves can be a symptom of a dangerous spine disease.

If a person feels pain in the spine, then the quality of his treatment depends on how soon he gets to see a doctor. After all for a long time already all know, that the started disease to treat where it is more complex or difficult, than only appeared.

Perhaps the most common disease of the spine is currently osteochondrosis. It is divided into lumbar, thoracic and cervical. The cause of pain in this disease are changes in intervertebral discs. The destroyed disk begins to stick out beyond the spine. Each disc is surrounded by nerve processes. The altered disc presses the end of the nerve, calls it Inflammation and as a result - pain in the spine.

The reasons for the development of osteochondrosis are: a genetic predisposition, heavy physical activity, a disturbed metabolism. This disease affects people of all ages. An equally common and insidious disease is the intervertebral hernia.

For diagnosis it is necessary to make an ultrasound of the spine. The main cause of the development of intervertebral hernia is a violation of the metabolic process in the discs. The hernia can protrude to the side or back, squeezes the end of the nerve, provokes its inflammation, which is usually accompanied by edema. If the hernia is directed to the spinal cord, it damages it, which will lead to very serious consequences.

The ultrasound of the spine allows you to see all the changes occurring in it, and to prescribe the necessary treatment.
