What are Spine Disorders?

脊柱疾病是指脊柱和/或脊髓的正常功能受到干扰. 常见的脊柱疾病包括椎间盘突出或破裂、椎管狭窄和神经根病.

Diagnosis

We use several technologies to diagnose spine disorders, including:

Electromyogram. 肌电图是一种非侵入性的方法，用于检测许多疾病和病症中的异常肌电活动, including muscular dystrophy, inflammation of muscles, pinched nerves, damage to nerves in the arms and legs, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig disease), myasthenia gravis, disc herniation and others.
Evoked potentials. 诱发电位有助于评估许多不同的问题，包括脊髓损伤, 听神经瘤(可能在内耳附近的听力和平衡神经上发展的良性肿瘤)和视神经炎(视神经炎症导致视力丧失和眼睛疼痛).
Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring. 在手术中，神经电诊断研究用于监测和评估脑和脊髓的电活动.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). During magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the body is exposed to electromagnetic radiation that can detect, process and convert images of the body’s soft tissue, such as the brain or spinal cord, into computer images.
Myelography. 这种x光检查用于检查脊髓或帮助诊断腿部或背部问题. 该测试使用染料直接注射到椎管中，以显示脊髓被椎骨挤压的区域.

Bone Implants

骨植入物在缓解疼痛和改善下背部和颈部常规椎间盘疾病患者的活动能力方面非常有效. 骨植入物使用小的骨楔，以适应两个或更多的脊柱椎骨. 植入物通过将载荷沿脊柱按预定方式放置，帮助消除椎间盘间隙的异常运动.

Image-Guided System

脑部手术中使用的图像引导系统包括CT和/或MRI扫描，以提供外科医生将进行手术的大脑区域的清晰图像. 这个系统非常精确，外科医生在手术过程中不需要看实际的大脑，而是需要在电脑上增强大脑图像.

Kyphoplasty

脊柱后凸成形术治疗脊柱骨折并发症，如剧烈疼痛, 姿势问题和肺部压力降低了肺活量. 这种微创外科手术使骨折椎体内的一个特殊球囊膨胀，使骨膨胀到正常位置.

骶髂关节融合术:微创手术消除背部疼痛

The sacroiliac, or SI, 关节是骨盆骨和脊柱底部之间的关节, or sacrum. 使用SI BONE系统进行微创SI关节融合术是减轻或消除疼痛的一种非常有效的方法, up until a few years ago, there was no good treatment.
