Provocative Tests for Cervical Radiculopathy Provocative Tests for Cervical Radiculopathy. Cervical radiculopathy is a disorder of the cervical spinal nerve root and most commonly is caused by degenerative changes, cervical disc herniation or other space-occupying lesion, resulting in nerve root inflammation, impingement, or both. Daffner et al.

Lumbar and Cervical Lordosis Normal human lumbar and cervical regions demonstrate a particular degree of lordotic curvature, which means that the open side of the curve faces the rear of the body.These curves are necessary to help distribute weight and shock throughout the spinal column.ordotic pain may occur due to hyper or hypo versions of the condition in the neck or in the lumbar spine. Lordosis back pain is generally demonstrated in the lower lumbar zone. Military neck, also commonly called straight neck, describes overly straight posture due to a deficient cervical curvature.

Cervical Spinal Stenosis What is cervical spinal stenosis? Cervical spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck. The spinal canal is the open area in the bones that make up the spinal column. The spinal cord is a collection of nerves that runs through the spinal canal from the base of the brain to the lower back.

Osteophytes in the cervical region of the spine Sections. Osteophytes in the cervical region of the spine are common in patients who have been diagnosed with degenerative diseases like facet disease, osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease. Osteophytes, also known as bone spurs, are bony projections that your body produces as a way to reinforce a weakened spine. If osteophytes exert pressure on spinal nerve roots in the neck, then pain, numbness and tingling can spread to the shoulders, arms and hands.

Do You Suffer From Loss of Cervical Lordosis? Cervical lordosis is a curve in the cervical spine, the area of the spine which contains the neck vertebrae. This curve is entirely normal and in fact desirable because it helps to stabilize the head and spine, but when the curve straightens out, becomes too deep, or faces in the wrong direction, it can become a problem.

Spurling's test It is a variant of the foraminal compression test (cervical compression test). Patients with a cervical radiculopathy (compression of a nerve ‘root’ in the neck) can present with a variety of symptoms, including pain, numbness and weakness.Many other disorders can produce similar symptoms.purling's test is somewhat specific when used for individuals with an abnormal electromyogram study and is relatively sensitive physical examination maneuver in diagnosing cervical spondylosis or acute cervical (neck) radiculopathy.

Cervical Stenosis with Myelopathy Cervical stenosis with myelopathy is often referred to more generally as cervical spondylosis with myelopathy or cervical spondylotic myelopathy. The term spondylosis refers to degeneration of the spine, whereas stenosis specifically refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal that can happen as a part of spondylosis.

Lumbar Puncture (LP or Spinal Tap) What is a lumbar puncture (LP)? A lumbar puncture (LP) is the insertion of a needle into the fluid within the spinal canal to collect and examine the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord (cerebral spinal fluid). It is termed a lumbar puncture because the needle is placed in the lumbar portion of the back and used to puncture through tissues to enter the spinal canal. Other names for a lumbar puncture (an LP) include spinal tap, spinal puncture, thecal puncture, and rachiocentesis.

Cervical cerclage Cervical cerclage is a procedure in which stitches are used to close the cervix during pregnancy to help prevent pregnancy loss or premature birth. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens to the vagina. Cervical cerclage can be done through the vagina (transvaginal cervical cerclage) or, less commonly, through the abdomen (transabdominal cervical cerclage). Typically, the stitches are removed at around week 37 of pregnancy.

Cervical Spurling A test Spurling A test. This tests is used to identify cervical radiculopathy. The patient is seated. In the original test, the patient is asked to side bend the head to the painful side while the examiner places a compression force of approximately 7 kilograms through the top of the head in an effort to further narrow the intervertebral foramen.

- Cervical cerclage is the placement of stitches in the cervix to hold it closed. In select cases, this procedure is used to keep a weak cervix (incompetent cervix) from opening early. When a cervix opens early, it may cause preterm labor and delivery. If you have an incompetent cervix, your doctor may recommend cervical cerclage. Cervical cerclage involves stitching shut the cervix, which is the outlet of the uterus.

Cervical Osteoarthritis (Cervical Spondylosis) Cervical spondylosis is also called cervical osteoarthritis. It is a condition involving changes to the bones, discs, and joints of the neck. These changes are caused by the normal wear-and-tear of aging.With age, the discs of the cervical spine gradually break down, lose fluid, and become stiffer.s a result of the degeneration of discs and other cartilage, spurs or abnormal growths called osteophytes may form on the bones in the neck. These abnormal growths can cause narrowing of the interior of the spinal column or in the openings where spinal nerves exit, a related condition called cervical spinal stenosis.

What is Cervical Traction? Cervical traction is a light stretching of the neck. The neck, or cervical spine, has seven vertebrae. Any of these can be injured from whiplash in a minor car accident, or even from sitting for extended periods of time at work or while driving. Cervical traction helps create space between the vertebrae to keep the spinal discs healthy. It can be achieved through yoga poses, assisted stretching or with the help of a chiropractor, physical therapist or massage therapist.
