“Can a spine hernia be fixed?”

Yes it can. I suggest at least 2 acupuncture sessions per week for at lest 4-6 weeks, combined with massage and herbs.

Presuming you are inquiring about disc herniation, i believe the more important questions are where and how much has the disc moved toward your spinal canal and/or your vertebral nerves? Discs are essentially shock absorbers and part of the spine's structural support system. When they are healthy and 'younger', they stabilize the spinal bones and protect your spinal cord from all the overstretching, vibration and twisting your spine is exposed to over the years. But like anything that suffers wear and tear, the discs and vertebral bones change their shapes becoming flatter or more distorted in shape. This is referred to as bulging. As the dics evolve, extra space often develops in and around them, allowing them to move and shift. And because they are situated between the bones, they also are less likely to keep the bones from moving. This distortion continues as the wear and tear continues. Technically, all the body's tissues (ex, disc, bone, ligament) change in response to stress, but also so as to evolve into stronger tissues to stabilize the spine. You know this as arthritis. Wear and tear activity starts an inflammatory reaction. This brings calcium and other resources to help tissues adapt to the stress. Eventually a soft and flexible disc stretches out and loses good circulation and nutrition so that its walls become thinner, stiffer and more distorted - a herniation. Depending on where and how much of this distorted disc is moving close to the spinal cord or nerves, the need for treatment differs. For many, avoiding heavy lifting or vibration, purposely losing weight so as to get lean, and improving your abdominal and back muscles (like a corset) will better support the movement of the spine and reduce the effects of any disc herniations. Slow careful stretching under the direction of someone who knows what is going on with the spine helps the tissue stiffness and circulation of resources. One may think of this as resetting the discs and bones closer to where they 'should' be. Ultimately, if a disc is too stiff or even fused to the bones next to it, it is unlikely that it will move too much further unless one suffers a traumatic event like a fall or car accident. Once the spinal bones and discs stabilize, there should be less worry...unless the disc and/or bones are already touching the spinal cord or nerves. Even then, it is only it is only whether someone is starting to have worsening numbness, muscle weakness, balance / bowel or bladder issues, or terrible pain that clinicians consider more invasive interventions like surgery. Injections, nerve blocks / ablations and manual medicine techniques can temporarily treat some symptoms but likely the arthritis will continue to evolve if nothing is done to reduce the wear and tear. This is why these treatments eventually become ineffective -at which time surgery may become the "most definitive" treatment... presuming that the arthritis is not so bad that even surgery cannot help. The point is, one should do what they can regarding weight and fitness, because not everyone is a candidate for injections, blocks or surgery.

A spine herniabetter known as a herniated discis a common condition. In terms of fixed, it is a matter of severity that comes into play. Some small herniations will recede on their own and dont require intervention. Others may remain stable and not cause any symptoms whatsoever. However, they become problematic when they irritate the. Serves around them causing symptoms of radiculopathy (pain down the extremity, numbness, paresthesias/prickling feelings) or myelopathy (weakness of a portion of the limb). These two problems are indications for surgery or further intervention to relieve symptoms. Even after a procedure, the fixed disc may be temporary as subsequent herniation can occur, collapse of a disc space, or shifting of the vertebrae due to a weakened disc space (spondylolisthesis) can occur and continue symptoms to the same or higher degree. Consult with a spine surgeon regarding your MRI imaging and consult with detailed information of your symptoms, duration and if you have attempted any physical therapy or epidural injection trials, and they will provide you more guidance.

Hernias are a challenging case, and can best be determined on an individual basis with full imaging to assist best prognosis. I have had success with those who have hernias it depends on the degree and length of herniation as to how much Acupuncture may assist help lessen the tension caused on the nerve impingements, spinal column, IVDs, or othervwetebral sections.

Yes, microdiscectomy, but, that would be a surgeon decision. PT is helpful as well.

A herniated disc in the spine often resolves on its own in 6 months. Herniated discs causing significant weakness, or bowel and bladder dysfunction may require emergency surgery. Herniated discs causing significant pain or lasting more than 6 months can be corrected surgically. Please see your doctor for further discussion of treatment options and indications.

Yes, you can try acupuncture it might help with spine hernia.

I'm not sure what you mean by "spine hernia". Are we talking about a herniated disk? If that's the case, a lot is going to depend on where the herniation is located and how bad it is.

For the most part, spinal disks do not have dedicated blood supply. Because they don't have dedicated blood supply, it's very difficult for them to heal and they are very slow to heal. In my experience, outside of surgery (which is really only cleaning things up), there isn't a lot that can be done to the disk.

Pain that you may be experiencing can sometimes be managed, but a lot is going to depend on how the herniation is impacting nerve structures.

I'm not sure if acupuncture can affect a spine hernia. You might want to call around and see if any practitioners in your area have had any experience with this.

If you mean a herniated disc in the spine, then yes it is fixable with varying final results, depending on the severity.

yes

Yes you can have surgery to fix a spinal herniation if it causing progressive weakness and numbness in your legs. There are many other conservative treatments trialed prior to surgery including physical therapy, activity and lifestyle modifications, bracing, medications, epidural steroid injections, etc.

Simply, a spine hernia can be operated on, but you want to try other treatment options first. There are exercises that a physical therapist can show you that may help the disc go back in place. Sent from my Metro by T-Mobile 5G Device Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg>
