WHAT IS IT?

Spinal diseases are conditions that affect the structure and function of the spine, which is a fundamental part of the musculoskeletal system. The spine consists of vertebrae, intervertebral discs, spinal nerves and other structures that provide structural support and allow the body to move.

Symptoms of narrow lumbar canal can vary, but generally affect the lower back and legs. Here are some common symptoms:

Pain: It may manifest as localized pain in the back or radiate to other areas, such as the arms or legs.

Numbness and tingling: Compression of spinal nerves due to herniated discs, spinal stenosis or other conditions can cause numbness and tingling sensations in the extremities.

Muscle weakness: You may experience weakness in your leg muscles, which can affect your ability to walk or perform physical activities.

Stiffness: Stiffness in the back may be a symptom of degenerative diseases of the intervertebral discs, such as osteoarthritis of the spine.

Changes in posture: In conditions such as scoliosis, the spine may become abnormally shaped, which can cause changes in posture.

TREATMENT

Treatments for spinal diseases vary depending on the nature and severity of the specific condition. Here are some treatment options that may be considered, although it is important to remember that the appropriate treatment depends on the specific diagnosis and should be determined by a healthcare professional:

Interventional treatments:

  • Epidural injections: These are used to administer medications, such as corticosteroids, directly into the affected area to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
  • Nerve blocks: These may be performed to temporarily block the pain signal from the affected nerve

Denervation:

  • It involves the application of heat or cold to the facet nerves that are causing pain.
  • It is performed with special needles under imaging guidance to reach specific nerves.
  • As with RF, the goal is to temporarily block pain signals.
