Lordosis

Lordosis or "back in the saddle" is a medical term used to describe a portion of the anterior curvature of the spine. Two segments of the spine are normally lordotice: lumbar and cervical.They have an above-like disease with convexity and concavity posteriorly in the context of human anatomy.Lordozele spinal or secondary curves are determined by differences in the thickness of a root from the earlier half of the posterior vertebral disc. It worsens or becomes evident at puberty to 25 years. Imbalance in muscle tension and muscle length is also a cause. Excessive lordosis curves are called back in the saddle "or" hollow back ". Common causes of excessive lordosis include back muscle weakness, increased visceral fat and pregnancy.Loss of normal lordosis of the back is rigid and is called back by fusion surgery.
Lordosis is found in all age groups. But mostly affects the lumbar spine and cervical cancers. is discovered when the patient has lumbar back in its prominent position exaggerated buttocks.Lumbar lordosis can be painful sometimes affecting movement.
Lumbar Lodoza can be treated by stretching the abdominal muscles and wearing a harness. Roman chair hyperextension of the back and will strengthen the back muscles. We recommend taking anti-inflammatory for pain relief with short-term effect.Physical therapy effectively treats 70% of cases of scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis and abnormal posture of the body.Congenital lordosis is one of the three main congenital spinal deformities. It is caused by lack of posterior segmentation in the presence of active growth of the previous column. Pure is a rare congenital lordosis and lordosis with no segmentation extremely rare. Asymmetrical segmentation defects lead to lordoscolioza and are more frequent.
Lordosis - pathogenesisAnatomy of the Spine:The spine has four natural curves in the sagittal plane. Two and two are lordosis kyphosis. Curves are the cervical and lumbar lordosis.Thoracic and sacral curves are kyphosis. Curves help distribute mechanical stress pin while the body moves. Lordosis is the normal contour of the neck and lower back. Excessive lordosis may cause extreme curvature of your lower back earlier. This condition is called "Back in the saddle."Congenital lordosis:The progressive deformation with increasing lordosis on the thoracic column, column distance is reduced and sternum ribs altered respiratory mechanics, respiratory-restricted, early respiratory failure and even death. When deformation occurs in the lumbar spine cause hiperlordoza column when approaching the anterior abdominal wall. Treatment of congenital lordosis is well surgically. Nonchirurgicala therapy has no effect because the condition is progressive. If breathing is installed restriction surgery carries risks.Factors favoring lordosis:Some pathological processes can affect the structural integrity of the spine and contribute to lordosis. Some common causes include discitita, kyphosis, obesity, osteoporosis and spondilolistoza:-Discitita intervertebral disc space infection isKyphosis-behind forces to offset the imbalance created by the higher curvature-Obesity may force some people to leave behind to improve the imbalance-Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bone density decrease inlatimii spine vertebrae alter the integrityOccurs when one vertebra-spondilolistoza prolapseaza column earlier than the rest, especially affecting the lumbar spine.
Lordosis - signs and symptomsLordosis is found in all age groups. but affects mainly lumbar and cervical column. is discovered when the patient has lumbar back in its prominent position exaggerated buttocks. Lumbar lordosis can be painful sometimes affecting movement. Sometimes lordosis curvature is severe and the patient may experience compression of lumbar nerves, limiting motion or loss of integrity of the spinal column.
Lordosis - diagnosisLordosis is diagnosed based on history and physical examination.If a patient has numbness, muscle weakness, muscle pain and spasms of the arms and legs, sphincter disturbances and pain in legs is recommended neurological exam. Palpation determian spine anomalies. The evaluation calculates the degree of freedom movements in which a patient can perform movements such as flexion, extension, lateral bending and rotation of the spinal cord.Note the asymmetry.Neurological assessment includes highlighting pain, paresthesias, tremor, sensitivity and motor function, muscle spasms, muscle weakness and dysfunction vexicale or rectum.Whole spine radiograph in lateral position and evaluating sagittal spinal flexibility, visible deformities, lack of segmentation.
Lordosis treatmentAtypical Lordozele not cause discomfort or other allegations of the patient, so do not require special treatment. Sometimes lordosis curvature is severe nerve compression and the patient may experience back pain, limitation of movement or loss of integrity of the spinal column. If the curvature is severe, prescribe treatment.Lumbar Lodoza can be treated by stretching the abdominal muscles and wearing a harness. Roman chair hyperextension of the back and will strengthen the back muscles. We recommend taking anti-inflammatory for pain relief with short-term effect.Physical therapy effectively treats 70% of cases of scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis and abnormal posture of the body.Conservative therapy for lordosis:Pharmaceuticals for treatment of back pain are simple pantru patient. They are most commonly used anti-inflammatory nestroidiene-in area. Use acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen.Other treatments used are muscle relaxants, narcotic analgesics: tramadol, codeine. Glucosamine and chondroitin are not drugs.They are made of normal human body and physiological function are important for cartilage and joints of the body. Glucosamine works alongside chondroitin to help collagen production.
Lordosis Treatment depends on:Patient-age, overall health and medical historyLordosis-gravity-Tolerance for certain therapies, procedures and medications.Therapy for Congenital lordosis:Treatment is purely surgical congenital lordosis. Nonchirurgicala therapy has no effect because the condition is progressive. If breathing is installed restriction surgery carries risks.Previous fusion: can be done when the surgeon is able to assess the patient early, before major deformation and loss of lung function. Previous merger involves excision of the disc cartilage removal of the vertebral bodies and disc space with a filling material. Previous merger affected area includes the entire upper and lower vertebrae 1-2 lesion. Approach eliminate the potential growth of the previous column.Corrective Surgery of lordosis:It is done when the patient has major deformation lose lung function. He wants to improve respiratory function and spinal alignment. It is recommended combined anterior and posterior approach in these cases. Previously discs are excised with wide osteotomy above. Disc spaces are filled. Posterior approach consists of multiple osteotomies of the lamina. Sublaminare wires are inserted to correct the curvature.
