Back
The condition known as Narrow Lumbar Canal , consists of the decrease of the spinal canal at the bottom of the spine that produces pressure on the spinal cord. 1/3 is considered mild, 1/2 is moderate.
What are the symptoms
- Pain
- Tingling
- Numbness
- Lack of strength
- Cramps
What are its causes?
Narrow lumbar canal is associated with genetic factors and degenerative diseases such as spondyloarthrosis. If detected in time, patients may recover their mobility and functionality almost entirely.
Treatment for narrow lumbar canal (mild to moderate)
the Centro de la Columna Vertebral, we treat narrow lumbar canal by applying an antineuritic treatment, regenerating root myelin, as well as the Ovando Sanders© formula. We complement this with physical therapy, rehabilitation with the McKenzie therapeutic program, massages, humid heat, electrical stimulation and ultrasound.
Cervicalgia appears as pain in the area of the cervical vertebrae, and is caused by accidents, bad movements, and bad posture or for genetic reasons. It can be acute or chronic depending on its duration. Most of the symptoms will subside with rest, but if they persist, you need to seek medical assessment.
Symptoms
Pain in the neck region, usually appearing suddenly, which increases with movement and subsides with rest. It is usually related to a blow, accident or whiplash suffered by the neck in the recent past.
Sometimes the pain has no apparent cause, appears and evolves slowly and is accompanied by cramps, muscle weakness, tingling, stinging and numbness in the neck or arms, headaches and dizziness that make sleeping difficult, as discomfort worsens when lying down.Diagnosis and treatment
Diagnosis should be performed by means of imaging studies, such as a tomography, as well as a clinical assessment by a physician.
At the Centro de la Columna Vertebral we offer our exclusive combination of medications applied intravenously, which have the primary function of relieving pain, as well as stimulating the regeneration and recalcification of the fractured vertebra (if applicable), thereby shortening the period of impairment.
For the most severe cases of pain and disability, we can complement our treatment with physical therapy as well as the application of local infiltrations with different types of medications for the immediate discomfort control.Chronic low back pain is the presence of pain in the lower back area: from where the lungs begin to the buttocks. This pain can persist for days or weeks, and although it can disappear it can return after a short period of time, so it requires special attention.
Symptoms
- Acute pain in certain postures
- Pain with no apparent cause
- Numbness in the legs or buttocks.
Chronic low back pain is not necessarily localized, that is, it can affect the entire back area in a non-specific way. When the discomfort persists for weeks or months and does not subside after rest or analgesics, it is time to seek professional medical help.
Diagnosis and treatment
A medical assessment is essential to locate and identify pain, which can affect different structures of the spine and the tissues that support it. The diagnosis can be complemented with imaging studies such as an MRI.
At the Centro de la Columna Vertebral,we treat chronic low back pain by applying myorelaxant, analgesic and anti-inflammatory treatment using the ©Ovando Sanders formula, as well as physical therapy that includes strengthening exercises, moist heat, electrical stimulation, massages and ultrasounds.A cervical sprain or whiplash syndrome is the result of a combined extension and flexion injury to the soft tissues of the cervical spine. This causes the injury of ligaments and stretching of the muscles of the spine. This is due to the mechanisms of energy acceleration and deceleration that are transmitted to the neck.
Symptoms
- Neck pain and stiffness, muscle weakness
- Headache and backache.
- Vertigo, in some cases
Some know it as a “muscular contraction” in the back or as muscle pains in the arms.
Diagnosis and treatment
Medical evaluation and exploration are essential to verify the origin and characteristics of the neck pain. This diagnosis can be complemented by imaging studies, such as an MRI, to rule out damage to the structures of the cervical spine.
At the Centro de la Columna Vertebral,recommended treatment includes: intravenous drug therapies, physical medicine and rehabilitation.
Unlike recommending only medicine or medicine for muscle pain, in our sports medicine area we make use of hot packs, ultrasound for back pain and spinal hygiene.Spondylolisthesis is the sliding of one vertebra over another. It can cause pressure on the nerves of the spine, causing pain, usually in the lower back. It is important not to confuse it with other conditions such as non-specific low back pain, so medical consultation is essential for its diagnosis.
Symptoms
- Grade I Spondylolisthesis: No symptoms.
- Grade II Spondylolisthesis: Low back pain that can radiate pain into the legs, pain increases when the trunk is tilted back (extension).
Diagnosis and treatment
The origin of spondylolisthesis can be trauma, congenital or degenerative conditions. To be diagnosed correctly, imaging tests such as x-rays or MRIs must be performed.
At the Centro de la Columna Vertebralwe have an antineurotic treatment, which regenerates root myelin, as well as the ©Ovando Sanders formula..
We complement this with physical therapy, rehabilitation with the McKenzie therapeutic program, massages, humid heat, electrical stimulation and ultrasounds.
In its early stages, Grade I and II Spondylolisthesis can be treated without the need for surgical intervention, so it is important to diagnose it in time.Hypertrophy in yellow ligaments is the increase in size due to inflammation of the elastic tissue that passes through the anterior face of the spinous processes.
Symptoms
- Pain.
- Numbness
- Lack of strength
How is it treated?
At the Centro de la Columna Vertebral we treat yellow ligament hypertrophy by applying analgesic treatment through the formula ©Ovando Sanders, complemented by physical therapy, strengthening exercises with the McKenzie program, moist heat, massage and electro-stimulation
Lumbago or Low back pain is any type of pain in the lumbar region of the cervical spine. Most of the causes are unspecific, associated with muscle fatigue or factors such as overweight. However, sometimes it can be a symptom of another disease.
Symptoms
Pain in the waist region usually appearing suddenly, which increases with movement and decreases with rest.
Sometimes the pain has no apparent cause, appears and evolves slowly and is accompanied by muscle weakness, cramps, tingling, stings and numbness in the waist and legs, which makes it difficult to walk and stand.
Most commonly, the discomfort decreases significantly when sitting or lying down.Diagnosis and treatment
Lumbago or low back pain can be treated with pharmacological and conservative measures; if it is caused by an underlying disease (such as a herniated disc), this cause should be treated at the same time as the symptoms. For this reason, the clinical interview is indispensable, as well as imaging studies to determine the state of the spine and its internal components.
At the Centro de la Columna Vertebral we have a treatment based on the exclusive combination of medications applied intravenously. Its main function is to calm the pain, as well as to stimulate the regeneration of the damaged structures in the back and to relax the lumbar muscles.
The treatment is complemented by physical therapy, as well as the application of local infiltrations with various types of medication for the immediate control of the discomfort.
Hip
Coxalgia is any type of pain in the coccygeal sacral region (sacrum and coccyx) which is the lower terminal portion of the spine.
Symptoms
Pain in the lower waist region, pain between the buttocks and sliding towards the groin and genital region. Numbness, tingling and loss of strength in the legs.
It is usually preceded by a fall onto the tailbone. A sudden onset of symptoms is most common, although there may be cases with a slow onset of symptoms. In the most severe cases, it can be accompanied by erectile dysfunction and difficulty urinating and defecating.Diagnosis and treatment
Coxalgia can be a symptom of another disease, such as osteoporosis. For this reason, it is important to attend a clinical interview with a trained physician. Furthermore, you may need imaging studies, such as x-rays or MRIs, to rule out possible complications or underlying conditions.
At the Centro de la Columna Vertebral we have a treatment based on a unique combination of intravenously medications that have the primary function of relieving pain. They also help stimulate the regeneration of damaged structures in the sacralcoccygeal region and relax the muscles of the sacraliliac region and the buttocks, as well as regenerate the sacral nerves.
The treatment is complemented by physical therapy, as well as the application of local infiltrations with various types of medication for immediate discomfort control.Coxarthrosis (Grade I and II) is the painful degenerative process of the hip joint, which is made up of the head of the femur, the acetabulum which is part of the iliac bone, and the cartilage between the two bones.
Symptoms
Pain at the hip level that can be reflected in the groin on the same side and run down the side of the thigh toward the knee.
There is pain and stiffness when starting to walk, especially in the morning. It is common to have a pronounced difficulty walking, standing, and even greater difficulty going up and down stairs. Sometimes there is a decrease in the volume of the affected hip muscle.What is the treatment for Coxarthrosis (Grade I and II)?
At the Centro de la Columna Vertebral we can provide our exclusive combination of intravenously medications, which have the primary function of controlling pain, as well as reducing inflammation and stimulating the regeneration of affected bone and cartilage.
We can complement this treatment with physical therapy, as well as the application of both local and inter-articular infiltrations with different types of medications for immediate discomfort control, including oral chondroprotective dugs.
Knee
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that causes the wear and tear of different components in the joint, such as cartilage or the synovial membrane.
This pathology can produce functional incapacity in patients, although symptoms are most commonly limited to annoyances that persist throughout the day.
During the disease’s development, the erosion of the articular cartilage can alter the bone opposite to the joint, causing this wear and tear process to begin.
As a result, there may come a time when the cartilage disappears and pain appears. As the cartilage disappears, the bone reacts and grows on the sides (osteophytes) producing the deformation of the joint.
Joints related to the musculoskeletal system are the most common cause of medical consultation.According to data from the Gaceta Médica de México,85% of patients with this condition are over 65 years old.
What are its causes?
It is caused by the deterioration of the articular cartilage, which covers the bony ends that together give rise to the joints, the components of the skeleton that allow movement.
The articular cartilage is essential for the proper functioning of the joint, as it is the surface that cushions and allows sliding between the bone ends that form any joint.
The most common causes are obesity, intense physical activity, a sedentary lifestyle and congenital conditions.What are its symptoms?
- Pain increases with activity and decreases with rest of the affected area
- Mobility range limitations
- Inability to perform daily activities
What is the treatment for knee osteoarthritis?
Treatment for knee osteoarthritis begins with changing daily activities and a weight-control diet. Conservative measures are also used, such as the use of insoles, physical therapy, rehabilitation and medications, such as infiltrations with hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma, analgesics, etc.
Patellar tendinitis , is the inflammation of the tendon that connects the muscles of the legs and thighs to the kneecap. The most common causes are overuse or injury, incorrect posture, abnormal position of the joints and infection (rare).
What are the symptoms?
Pain in the affected knee, accompanied by swelling and pain when pressured. Most of the time there is a history of some injury or accident in the remote or recent past, although it occasionally appears without apparent cause.
Discomfort increases when moving, and in fact it prevents movement almost entirely, leaving the knee immobilized and incapacitated to be stopped or to walk, the pain is much more intense when going up and down stairs.
Discomfort appears during rest, but decreases enough to be able to sleep. Pain is most intense when trying to move the knee by flexing or extending itWhat is the treatment for patellar tendinitis?
At the Centro de la Columna Vertebral we offer our exclusive combination of medications, which are applied intravenously and have the primary function of relieving pain, reducing inflammation and stimulating the regeneration of the shoulder bone, ligament, and cartilage that may be affected.
We can complement this treatment with physical therapy, as well as the application of both local and intraarticular infiltrations with different types of medications for immediate discomfort control, including chondroprotective and stimulant medications for the regeneration of tendons and ligaments by oral administration.
