The therapy of vertebrogenic and discogenic pains and pathologies of the spinal column

Types of patients: The patients with acute and chronic pain and myotonic disorders in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine sections, patients with acute and chronic pain in the pelvic area, chronic pain in the joints, discopathy, disc protrusion and hernia; second opinion on the disorder.

Therapy principle: acute and chronic pains in the spinal column are usually conditioned by the degenerative process of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs and are the most frequent neurological disorders. They are conditioned by the reduced height of the discs, deformation of the disc shape, leak of the pulpy nucleus through the cracks in the disc cover and hernias of the discs as well as development of osteophytes (bony spikes and salt residues) on the vertebrae, osteoarthrosis and arthritis of small spinal joints. The pain is caused by the acute and chronic neurovascular compression of the nerves from spinal cord to the periphery in the projection of its outlet through the vertebral canals.

If you address a neurosurgeon, they offer several options of the surgical intervention from common removal of hernia up to expensive installations of cages and robotic-assisted Da Vinci system.

Standard neurological approach implies no less than 3 months of conservative therapy, sometimes in an in-patient department. The surgery is proposed only when the hernia has sequestrated. i.e., separated from the disc and compressed neural terminals or spinal cord. There are no other indications. The neurosurgical intervention can be effective and stabilize the damaged segment of the spine, nut frequently induces instability in the lower and upper segments. We prefer conservative approaches and use predominantly contemporary remote controlled wave technologies of neurobioengineering and neurorehabilitation. For which we have a separate page.

Results: conservative bioengineering treatment of the problems with the spine provides for better results than any neurosurgery, if no absolute contraindications are observed.
