SPINAL pain disorders experienced by many people, especially the elderly. Various methods have been developed to overcome the disorder.
One is the nucleoplasty method. "Nucleoplasty is a method of treatment of spinal disorders caused by damage to the spine pads (disc). The act does not require medication and surgery," said the specialist neurosurgery.
Bearing spine, is a network that lies between the sections of the spine. Bearings has many functions. Among others as a buffer between bones move backward.
Bearings can be damaged or broken due to several reasons. Among others, accidents, errors in the sitting position, lifting heavy weights too often, and increasing age. Increasing age makes elastic pads that had become stiff, so fragile.
When the bearing is broken, the pads be widened so that the edges pressing the nerves contained in the arrangement of the spine. As a result, the patient will feel pinched nerve disorders.
Symptoms that may be perceived as light as tingling and aches, to severe such as severe pain and paralysis.
Surgery can overcome these problems. Through surgery, the bearings are damaged beyond repair or replaced so that the nerves that had been depressed could be released.
Meanwhile, treatment with nucleoplasty action to avoid surgery. This method is performed by administering radio frequency energy through a device similar to the injection at the site of damage. With that tool, action coblation or heating pads are damaged by radio frequency energy.
With heating, the pads will shrink so that the rupture that had been pinched nerve can be freed.
However, not all conditions of the spine bearing failure can be treated with that method. In a heavy bearing damage and complex, the handling still requires surgery.
Therefore, before action is taken, first patients will be diagnosed using CT scan or MRI to see the bone bearing the degree of damage.
