What is lumbar disc herniation? Slipping of the vertebrae of the spine is a complication that is also called **spondylolisthesis**.. When this slip and slip occurs in the lumbar region and the vertebrae of the spine, the patient has lumbar spondylolisthesis.. The following vertebra in the lumbar spine... slip.... This condition can be the result of various factors such as congenital anomalies, fractures, degenerative changes or repeated pressure on the spine.. Column Vertebrates of Many vertebrae are formed, and between each vertebra there are small joints called facet joints that help to create stability and flexibility.. According to the degree of slippage... the grading system ranges from *grade 1 (25% slippage)* to *grade 5 (100% slippage)*... reported in the general population *25.9%.... This study, which was conducted using EOS imaging technology, showed that this complication is more common in L4/L1 vertebrae. face gives.. Risk factors include increasing age, sedentary jobs, and lower limb radiculopathy has been identified.... the cause of lumbar vertebrae slippage
Lumbar sprain or spondylolisthesis can be caused by many reasons... One of these factors is congenital in which people are prone to this problem due to abnormal bone formation. The vertebra is fractured due to pressure or there is a defect in the inter-articular area. To diagnose lumbar spondylolisthesis, a neurologist performs a physical examination, reviews the patient's medical history, and may prescribe imaging tests such as X-ray, CT scan, or MRI of the lumbar disc to assess the degree of lumbar disc slippage and any related abnormalities. waist
The symptoms of back sprain can be different according to the severity of the slip and the general condition of the person's body. Some people may not show symptoms until a certain time and the condition of the disease worsens.. While others may experience significant pain and symptoms, common symptoms associated with lumbar spondylolisthesis are described below:
- back pain; This is the most common symptom of a back sprain and is felt in the lower back. The pain may be dull or sharp and can range from mild to severe. You may also experience back and hip pain or lower back muscle cramps. compresses or irritates the adjacent, pain can radiate down the buttocks, thighs, and legs.. This is known as sciatica and may be accompanied by tingling, numbness, or weakness in the affected leg or leg.. Limited range of motion.. Slipped vertebrae can limit the normal movement of the spine and lead to reduced range of motion.. Bending, twisting the back, or certain activities may aggravate the pain and make it difficult to perform make it more difficult... - Difficulty in walking; In severe cases, where the nerve compression is significant, people may also have difficulty walking....- Radiculopathy.. Radiculopathy refers to compression or irritation of the spinal nerves at the opening of the spinal canal.... In lumbar sprains, this happens if a slipped vertebra narrows the passageway for the nerves.... Radiculopathy can cause shooting, weakness, and numbness that spreads to the tibia or horn of the leg.. Rarely. And in severe cases with significant nerve compression, back sprains can lead to bladder or bowel dysfunction. This may manifest as difficulty initiating or controlling urination or bowel movements, or even loss of bladder or bowel control.. Non-surgical methods usually include physical therapy to strengthen back muscles, use of heat and cold therapy, use of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain and inflammation, modification of daily activities to prevent excessive pressure on the back, and use of support braces for greater stability. Also, lifestyle modification, including having a proper weight and doing regular exercises, also plays an important role in improving the condition.
In cases where non-invasive treatments are not effective, surgery is necessary. Decompression surgery is performed by removing the tissue or bone that is pressing on the nerves, and in the spinal fusion method, the adjusted vertebrae are fused together.
Before performing any type of exercise, it is necessary to consult with an expert to ensure its safety and proper implementation... Suitable exercises play an effective role in improving the condition of the spine, including lumbar spondylolisthesis... Strengthening exercises such as tilting the pelvis and bridging also help to improve the stability of the back with the aim of strengthening the central muscles. Due to the unique properties of water and its low-pressure nature, therapy is considered an effective method for people with lumbar spondylolisthesis. Also, the natural resistance of the water helps to strengthen the muscles around the spine, including the central and back muscles without causing too much pressure. Immersion in warm water relieves pain and reduces muscle tension, and helps to relax the person. In addition, the support of the water makes it easier to do flexibility exercises and stretches that may be difficult or painful under normal conditions, and improves the range of motion of the person. Walking is a low-risk exercise for people with Spondylolisthesis is very beneficial.. Walking for spondylolisthesis puts less stress on the spine.. It plays a vital role in stabilizing the spine and can reduce the pressure on the affected area.. In addition, walking helps with weight control.. It is essential for people with lumbar spondylolisthesis.. Because losing weight can take extra pressure off the spine and help reduce the symptoms of this disease... Lumbar disc herniation treatment without surgery... in In many cases, spondylolisthesis can be managed without surgery, especially if it is mild or there are no severe neurological symptoms. Non-surgical treatments mainly focus on reducing inflammation, strengthening the muscles that support the spine, and modifying lifestyle.. If these methods are followed carefully, many patients can prevent the progression of the disease and the occurrence of lower back wear. Non-surgical solutions to manage this disease:
Lumbar disc surgery
If non-surgical treatments fail to provide adequate relief or have a negative impact on quality of life and daily activities, spine surgery may be an appropriate treatment option. One common procedure is decompression surgery, in which pressure on spinal nerves is relieved by removing structures such as herniated discs, bone spurs, or thick ligaments. Damaged vertebrae in order Reducing the pressure on the spinal canal is done.... Artificial disc replacement is also done in special cases; Also, minimally invasive surgeries with smaller incisions and shorter recovery time can be an option to reduce complications and speed up recovery... ***Dr...

### How long does spinal fusion take? **Surgery duration** Lumbar spondylolisthesis can vary according to various factors, including the complexity of the vertebral dislocation, the specific surgical method, and the experience of the surgeon. In general, surgery for this disease lasts from one to several hours. Less invasive procedures, such as laminectomy or discectomy, are usually shorter and may take about one to two hours. On the other hand, more extensive surgeries such as spinal fusion or artificial disc replacement can require more time. Keep in mind that these time frames are only rough estimates and the actual duration of surgery may be related to some types of spine surgery. Complications include infection at the surgical site, severe bleeding, or blood clots that can be more serious. Damage to spinal nerves or surrounding areas may also result in chronic pain or nerve symptoms. (L4 and L5) depends Severe displacement of the vertebra has patient symptoms and the body's response to non-surgical methods. Also, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are prescribed to control pain and inflammation.. Surgery** in this area is lumbar fusion (welding of the vertebrae), which stops the abnormal movement by stabilizing the L4 and L5 vertebrae and removes the pressure from the nerve roots. The success of the surgery in this area is usually high, especially if the patient follows the recommended rehabilitation and care program correctly....
Lumbar disc herniation is one of the most common disorders of the spine, which if not treated in time can lead to limited movement, chronic pain and a significant reduction in quality of life... This condition, which is sometimes confused with the symptoms of intervertebral discs, if it progresses, it can find similarities with **the most dangerous lumbar disc** in terms of the effect on the nerve roots and the occurrence of severe nerve symptoms. Fortunately, there are various treatment solutions such as physiotherapy, resistance exercises (including walking and treatments) anti-inflammatory and control with water therapy) is effective.. In cases where the vertebral slippage is severe and symptoms such as numbness or leg weakness appear, surgery is recommended to reduce the pressure on the spinal nerves and stabilize the lumbar vertebrae.... The choice of treatment depends on factors such as the degree of displacement of the vertebra, the age of the patient and the general condition of the spine.
