Lumbar Spondylosis Treatment, Causes &Amp; More

Submitted by: Patrick Foote

What is Lumbar Spondylosis?

Lumbar spondylosis treatment is sometimes necessary when the anatomical components in the lower spine deteriorate, leading to spinal instability and/or the compression of a spinal nerve. The condition almost always affects individuals who have reached or exceeded middle age, though it is not completely unheard of for younger individuals to suffer from lumbar spondylosis. Deterioration of the spine is completely normal; in fact, it s part of the natural aging process. This isn t surprising given that the spine is responsible for supporting virtually every movement we make. Every time we sit, stand, lift, bend, twist you get the idea our spine is responsible for facilitating that movement and supporting the weight of our bodies in the process.

Before we delve into the available treatments for spondylosis, you should first have a good understanding of the condition, its associated spinal conditions, and its symptoms.

What Spinal Conditions are Associated with Spondylosis?

Over time, being under constant strain can cause some of the spine s anatomical components to break down, making individuals more susceptible to developing a slew of spinal conditions, including:

Herniated or bulging discs The intervertebral discs are pad-like structures that are seated between adjacent vertebrae. Discs act as shock absorbers, minimizing the amount of impact that s placed on other spinal components. Over time, discs can begin to lose water content, weaken, and become brittle, making them susceptible to herniating and bulging. A herniated disc occurs when the annulus fibrosis (the disc s tough outer layer) develops a crack or tear, sometimes allowing the nucleus pulposus (the disc s gelatinous center) to seep into the spinal canal. A bulging disc occurs when the nucleus pulposus shifts but remains contained within the annulus fibrosus forcing the disc to become misshapen, sometimes infringing on the spinal canal.

Facet disease Adjacent vertebrae are connected to one another by facet joints. Like the various other joints located throughout our bodies, the facet joints have a cartilaginous lining. Over time, this lining can wear away, leading to pain, inflammation, and the sensation of bones rubbing against one another. In an effort to mitigate bone-on-bone contact, the body may produce bone spurs to stabilize the joint. These bony protrusions, however, can do more harm than good when they invade the spinal column and cause neural compression.

What Are the Symptoms of Lumbar Spondylosis?

Some patients with lumbar spondylosis experience no symptoms at all. It is typically only when a misaligned, inflamed, or otherwise damaged portion of the spinal anatomy invades the spinal canal that patients will become symptomatic. In general, the symptoms of neural compression can include pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness, the location of which depends on the affected region of the spine. In the case of lumbar spondylosis, patients may experience symptoms in the lower back, hips, buttocks, thighs, legs, and/or feet.

What are Some Lumbar Spondylosis Treatment Methods?

Most physicians will initially begin treating the symptoms of lumbar spondylosis with conservative, nonsurgical treatments. This can include:

The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen

Physical therapy

Lifestyle changes such as losing weight or quitting smoking

The application of heat and/or ice

Some patients benefit from integrating alternative therapies into their physician-prescribed treatment regimens. Popular alternative therapies include:

Acupuncture

Restorative yoga

Pilates

Herbal supplements

In the event that conservative and/or alternative treatments fail to provide meaningful relief, a physician may recommend surgery as part of a patient s lumbar spondylosis treatment plan. Some patients may be candidates for minimally invasive procedures that are performed on an outpatient basis and require a less rigorous rehabilitation than traditional open spine surgery. Before consenting to any surgical procedure, patients should discuss all risks and benefits with their physicians and may want to consider receiving a second opinion.

Old School is No School

by

Chris Hall

Bridgehampton – Real Estate professionals continue learning their craft well beyond their first years in the business. Brokers keep up with the latest changes in zoning, mortgage rates, comps, and market trends. Imagine if you represented a client who was buying a home and quoted information from 1995? Believe it or not, many swimming pool builders operate this way. The old school builder operates this way. While it is a challenge to find an experienced professional who has kept up on the many advances in the industry; doing so is time well spent.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV-Pv_QixZ0[/youtube]

When you are choosing a swimming pool builder, or advising your client, ask about certifications. Ask about continuing education. Ask what the pool professional did last winter. Winter, the off season for many pool builders, can be a very busy time of year for the best of the best. This off season there were at least three trade shows of interest. Before you jump to any conclusions about a fun in the sun getaway; Atlantic City and Chicago play host to two of the top shows (Vegas is the other one). Honing your craft in 2012 is a necessary component to compete in the high end market. A brief explanation below of this year\’s shows will provide a taste of where the top pool professionals spent this winter. Since 1975, World of Concrete has been the industry\’s only annual international event dedicated to the commercial concrete and masonry construction industries. The show featured indoor and outdoor exhibits, leading suppliers showcasing innovative products and technologies, demonstrations and competitions, a world-class education program, and the information needed to stay competitive. Chicago played host to the Mid America Pool and Spa Show. The Mid America Show began in 1985 and continues to be the largest event of its kind in the Midwest. The show offers pool professionals the opportunity to learn about new products and services, network one on one with industry suppliers, and receive industry leading education programs tailored to business owners, managers and service technicians. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the Northeast Swimming Pool Association (the forerunner of the Northeast Spa & Pool Association) held various seminars and tabletop trade shows as a member benefit in New York. The Atlantic City Pool & Spa Show is a four day conference and exhibit event where the industry meets with and does business with over 500 exhibitors and over 10,000 attendees yearly. Industry professionals from all over the country attend the show to see all the latest pool and spa trends, cutting-edge design and product technology and to attend over 75 educational seminars. The educational seminars at each trade show build upon knowledge and certifications that come with years of study. Although the subject matter might not be as fascinating to you as it is to swimming pool veterans, it can be appreciated by all as a requirement when considering an investment as large as a luxury gunite pool. After all is said and done, you may say to your new pool builder \”I know what you did last winter.\” And, if you do, you can rest easy knowing that you have made the right choice.

Chris Hall began his career in the swimming pool industry over 30 years ago. He is currently a consultant to Casual Water; the premiere swimming pool construction and service company in the Hamptons.

Choosing The Right Varicose Vein Doctor

By

On April 10, 2023

In Medical Training

Varicose veins affect a huge part of the population today. Unlike the past, new technology and procedures have revolutionized the treatment of varicose veins and other venous disorders that is the most beneficial to the patient. Treatment no longer requires hospitalization or general anesthesia or down time for the patient. There are many doctors from many different specialties performing these highly technical treatments. The problem is that not all of these doctors are qualified enough to provide the patient with optimal outcomes. How do patients choose a highly qualified vein doctor? They ask certain questions and perform a little research before agreeing to become a patient. Here we will discuss what questions to ask and where to find the information needed to make a sound decision.

Patients, or prospective patients should never be afraid to ask doctors questions. If they feel uncomfortable asking questions a family member or friend could act as a patient advocate. If the doctor is uncomfortable answering or avoids answering any questions it is a good sign he or she does not have the correct answer. When this happens it is definitely time to move on and talk with a different doctor. Chances are pretty good they are not comfortable with the technology or procedures the patient requires.

Question #1 – Is the doctor board certified in Phlebology?

To become an ABPh diplomat, an applicant must complete the requisite training or experience qualifications, meet the continued medical education requisites, and pass a stringent certification examination offered by the American Board of Phlebology. Certification periods are ten years and maintenance is dependent on the ability of the diplomat to display competency in four areas of assessment, evidence of professional standing, evidence of commitment to life-long learning and periodic assessment, evidence of cognitive expertise and evaluation of performance in practice. This certification can be confirmed by visiting the American Board of Phlebology web site and click on the find a physician button. This question can be avoided by researching first.

Question #2 Where did they train to become a phlebologist (vein doctor)?

Believe it or not many of the doctors performing these highly technical varicose vein treatments were actually trained by a sales representative. This is not the best training because the sales representatives main concern is selling their equipment and supplies. They do not have the patients safety or outcome in mind. Other older surgeons are actually still treating veins the same as they did 20 years ago and have not kept up with the advances. The optimal vein doctor has been trained by an experienced Phlebologist who has immense experience in the technology and treatment options. Most of these Phlebologists have actually played a part in developing these new treatments. Their training involves the entire realm of vein care and treatment. They are highly concerned about patient safety and outcomes.

Question #3 How many varicose vein procedures have they performed and how many complications have they encountered?

This is a very significant question and should be answered with semi-detailed answer. Do not accept answers such as several, some, a lot, or many. A varicose vein doctor should be able to give you an estimated number answer like about 10, over 50, or at least 100 or something like that. This is important because of the learning curve that is essential to become proficient in performing the latest and technical treatment procedures. You want to choose a phlebologist that has perfected his or her technique. This may produce a better outcome. Also is it important to ask about complications and how many they have encountered. This question may very well produce a general answer such as a few but the important fact you need is that they know what complications that may occur and they know how to treat them. Also find out if they would be the doctor treating any complication that may occur or would an additional doctor do this.

Question #4 Where will venous treatments procedures be performed?

Varicose vein treatments used today are developed to be performed in the doctors office or clinic. They do not require a hospital setting or general anesthesia (going to sleep). There are two reasons why a doctor may make use of the hospital to provide these procedures. The first reason is that they do not possess the necessary equipment such as a laser and the ultrasound machine and will utilize equipment and supplies provided by the hospital and/or sales representative. The second reason may be that they do not have the necessary skills to perform the ultrasound examination required and will make use of the hospital ultrasound technician. Regardless of the reason using the hospital facility indicates that this doctor is not fully dedicated to acquire the necessary equipment or skills to provide optimum care for the patient. It also indicates that they do not perform very many of these procedures to make it cost effective to invest in the specialized equipment.

The use of general anesthesia should never be indicated for any varicose vein procedure. This is an unnecessary risk to the patient. Always avoid a doctor who insists on general anesthesia. Insisting on general anesthesia may indicate the doctor does not want you to be conscious during the procedure. This may be because they take a very long time to complete the procedure, usually due to the inexperience, and the patient will become uncomfortable remaining still for so long. Most vein treatment procedures can be completed by a qualified Phlebotomist in about 30 minutes or less. Neither is a good indication of a competent phlebotomist.

Question #5 What services do they provide?

A phlebotomist who is devoted to the treatment of varicose veins will provide a full regiment of services for diagnosing and treating all venous disorders. Diagnostic services must include the Doppler ultrasound examination necessary to find the root cause of the problem. This ultrasound service is also very important for varicose vein laser treatment so it is significant that the doctor is skillful in using this tool. A vein doctor that is dedicated to the practice of treating varicose veins should provide the full spectrum of the most up to date treatments. Treatments include compression stocking therapy, Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLT), sclerotherapy, trans dermal treatment of spider veins and micro phlebectomy. Doctors who do not offer all these services may opt to send the patient to other doctors for specific treatments. Patients should be conscious of this.

Question #6 Do They Have a Website

Doctors who are dedicated to the treatment of varicose veins will always have a web site dedicated to vein disorders. This is the place where they can offer patients and prospective patients information about the doctor and their vein practice. Actually a visit to the vein clinics web site may also answer many of these questions for the patient before they even set up an initial appointment. A vein doctors web site should have information about the doctor, the staff, their location and contact information and the services offered.

In conclusion it is very important that these questions and any other questions patients may have be asked when choosing a qualified and dedicated vein doctor. Again, never be fearful to ask these questions. Qualified vein doctors welcome them because it gives them a opportunity to brag about their qualifications and doctors like to do that. Unqualified or undertrained doctors who do vein procedures may not respond well to these questions and try to evade answering them. Patients should avoid these doctors. With these 6 simple questions and a little research patients can be assured the best care possible with a most favorable result for their vein disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bonding In Branford Ct

By

On April 8, 2023

In Dentist

byAlma Abell

Many individuals have tooth irregularities that they’re embarrassed for other people to see. Individuals don’t have to be ashamed about their smile when they can have their dentist perform a tooth bonding procedure. Individuals should read the frequently asked questions below to learn important details about Dental Bonding in Branford CT.

Why would individuals need to have a dental bonding procedure?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMRW632gI3E[/youtube]

Individuals who want their front teeth to look more attractive often have a dental bonding procedure. Bonding covers up gaps between the teeth, chipped teeth, broken teeth and stained teeth. Dentists can also use bonding material, that’s the same shade as a person’s teeth, instead of using metal to fill in a cavity.

What are the steps for a dental bonding procedure?

The dentist first matches the bonding material to the color of a person’s natural teeth. The shade of the bonding material must match exactly so that it blends in with the natural teeth and so that it isn’t noticeable.

Next, the dentist begins the procedure by using a dental instrument to make the tooth’s surface rough. This step is necessary so the adhesive material will bind completely with the bonding material. The dentist then places the bonding resin on the tooth and molds it into the correct position to cover the imperfection.

The dentist then holds an ultraviolet light over the bonding material, which makes it become hard. After this step, the dentist may choose to form or clip the resin even more if necessary.

How long does dental bonding material last on a person’s teeth?

When individuals visit their dentist for Dental Bonding in Branford CT, they can expect the resin to stay on their teeth for approximately ten years. Individuals who take excellent care of their teeth and visit the dentist on a regular basis may have the bonding material on their teeth for many additional years. When individuals have tooth bonding they should never chew on ice, open lids with their teeth or do anything else that can cause harm to the teeth and the dental bonding.

A dental bonding procedure can be performed by a dentist to cover up many different kinds of tooth imperfections. Individuals in Branford who would like to discuss their options for dental bonding can visit Greatamericansmile.com and contact the office for an appointment.

Travel Insurance sheds its neglected tag in 2013

by

Nidhi Varma

Prospective fliers in particular, tended to be focused on the other aspects of their international trip. Lowest ticket costs, bagging coveted seats, accumulating/redeeming air-miles and other attractive benefits have proved to be more worthy of their attention. Yet, tapping into those that did opt for travel insurance during their overseas trip revealed that they had chosen to do so for a wide variety of reasons. These varied from having a buffer that would help them recoup the costs should a cancellation occur to the assuring feeling that came with having a safety net against eventualities.

For those still wondering why they might need travel insurance, here are a few situations that could help change your mind:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFz2S8o8_OU[/youtube]

1.You re geared up for your vacation, having worked extra hard over the preceding weeks, just to earn this break. You arrive at the airport, only to realize that the flight has been cancelled. The airline counter in chaos; they are trying to book stranded passengers on the next available flight and essentially doing all that they can to ease the situation. Apart from the frayed nerves and the spoilt mood, what is really playing on your mind is that your entire plan has come crashing down. Connecting flights, accommodation arrangements, excursion and recreation bookings, all have to be redone. Having a travel insurance policy that covers such a scenario does help soothe those frayed nerves and can in some cases, even manage to pay for a mini-vacation next time around.

2.Tour operators going bust may be another extreme example, but they when they do, they usually tend to disrupt life for all those affected. Holidays 4 UK, a popular tour operator left over 60, 000 vacationers in a state of chaos when news emerged of them having gone into bankruptcy. Polish holiday maker Sky Club too left over 9000 vacationers stranded with their sudden fold-up. In such instances, those with adequate travel insurance cover were at-least able to recover some of their costs and return to their comfort of their homes in a safe and reasonable manner.

3.Falling ill while on an overseas trip can prove to be quite an intense and disturbing incident. Not only is one away from their usual support base but they are also in a foreign land, where the medical costs and support may vary from that they are exposed to back at home. In such instances, a thoughtfully purchased travel insurance policy can prove to be quite an invaluable safety net that can help one bounce back to their healthy self.

Besides the above mentioned situations, there are regular instances of lost baggage, travellers requiring dental assistance, nature influenced disruptions and others. In these and other such cases, travellers are increasingly waking up to the protective powers and the rescue act that has been performed by a thoughtfully chosen travel insurance policy. As we celebrate a brand new year and plan our overseas sojourns, do spread the word and help others in making the right choice as well.

A foreign trip is always exciting, whether you are on vacation or on business trip or study tour. For making this exciting trip safe you should buy appropriate

Friday, July 6, 2007

London is preparing for Le Grand Départ of the 2007 Tour de France. The route, which will run through the Greenwich Millennium Village, is being prepared for the Départ. The Tour de France will be in London and the South East for the two days of the 7th and 8th of July. The event will start in Trafalgar Square at 15:00 BST (UTC+1).

“I believe this will be the most spectacular Grand Départ the Tour has ever seen and the weekend will underline London’s great sporting reputation,” said Ken Livingstone, mayor of London.

The parts of the Tour that London will be hosting are the Prologue and Stage One. The Prologue will be on Saturday, the 7th of July, starting in Trafalgar Square at 15:00 BST and finishing at 18:20 BST. Stage One will be on the following day, starting in Greenwich at 11:00 BST and finishing in Canterbury, Kent.

Over the years the Tour de France has seen 52 British riders; the first being Charley Holland and Bill Burl in 1937. Londoners may get to see today’s riders on their two wheels, but they will be followed by 1,500 vehicles, 13,000 policemen and women patrolling the route and 2,300 members of the world press.

During the event many roads will be closed along the route and off it. The official website provides detailed information.
