The Spinal Column The spine runs from the top of the neck, extending from the brain to the lower part of the back all the way down to the coccyx. The spine is basically split into 3 areas: “¢ the cervical “¢ the thoracic “¢ the lumbar
Cervical The cervical area of the spinal column is in the neck area. The spinal column is comprised of many parts of bone, and through the spine the spinal column shields the spinal cord, which runs from the brain down to the bottom of the spine and then branches out like lines coming from the power generator that carry electricity from its main source and then branch out from the generating station to the city and then branches out from there to various parts of the city. Compression Fracture of the Spine The spinal column is really made from soft bone, and so sometimes in a traumatic situation the person can get a compression fracture of the spine, which means the soft bone is compressed down. A bit more serious injury to the spine happens when the nerves heading down through the spine get hurt.
Spinal Column – Discs Between the several levels of the bone mass in the spine are discs. The discs can be compared to a rubber inner tube or a jelly donut. Inside the disc is a soft material that acts as a shock absorber, and discs grant flexibility to the spine. As people grow up, the discs become less pliant and become tougher and less soft. This is why it would appear that some older people are in fact getting smaller, because the discs in their backs are not as flexible, and they are getting flatter and tougher.
Bulging Disk A bulging disc is similar to an inner tube tire with a bulge in it. A bulging disc is when the material within the disc starts to push through but doesn’t come out of the disc, like a bulge in an inner tube. This could still create a grave condition if the bulge is pressing upon the nerve that is exiting from the spinal column at this level of the spinal column. Physicians can usually tell, because they recognize which nerves come out of which locations in the spinal column and go to what part of the anatomy. So the physician usually can tell whether or not the bulge is pushing on the nerve by figuring out whether or not there exists pain in a particular part of the body; whether or not the pain is radiating; and whether there is a decrease in sensation or involvement in the motor function.
Herniated Disc A herniated or torn disc means that the bulge has now opened up and the material within the disc has actually come out. This would be a more serious condition, and frequently calls for compression on a nerve that is coming out of that area of the spinal column. Another term that is used is a disc protrusion. Ordinary X-rays will only show an image of the hard tissue, i.e., the spinal column or the bones in the arms and the legs along with other parts of the body structure. In order to truly see a picture of the herniated disc or the soft tissue, or other things such as cancer, the physician will either need to take a CT scan or an MRI. MRI means magnetic resonance imaging. The body actually goes inside the MRI equipment; the machine bounces through magnets in the machine impulses that are noted and an actual image of the soft tissue comes out.
