Osteoarthritis is the wear lumbar column between the lumbar vertebrae (at the posterior articular processes), that is to say, it is localized in the lower back. The wear is most often the result of abnormal posture (lordosis orscoliosis) or a bad position in the repetitive practice of a sport or work. The wear can also be linked to degeneration of the intervertebral disc. The lumbar osteoarthritis is localized mostly at the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) because this is where the back that the mechanical stresses are highest. The pain increases with movement and exercise. The friction of the vertebrae can [...]

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the alteration of a joint is termed either idiopathic, that is to say that we do not find the cause (also known as primary osteoarthritis of ) orsecondary osteoarthritis is to say that we can identify the cause.Osteoarthritis is associated with a lesion of the joints without inflammation, leading to anatomically by destruction of cartilageand production of additional bone in the form of osteophytes orChondrostoma.

Low back pain (lumbodynia) – one of the most frequent complaints at a reception at the therapist, a neurologist and orthopedist. The vulnerability can be attributed to the lumbarstrain on this part of the spine, due to bipedal locomotion. For example, when lifting theload of 30 kg disc between the fifth lumbar and first sacral vertebrae undergoes a load ofseveral hundred kilograms. Contribute to the weakening of the lumbar sedentary lifestyle, prolonged sitting, stress, lack of sleep. . Back pain can be chronic from a few months and years of worry and appear acutely within a few days, [...]

Lumbago (from the Latin word lumbus - loin) – is a sharp pain in his lower back. The reason is the surge lumbago lumbar spine. This is usually due to herniated disks orstrong muscles. Lumbago is a consequence of a sharp spine movement, aimed at lifting weights or trying to reach something. Back pain may also be caused by lumbarintervertebral hernias, displacement of the vertebrae. Mostly these syndromes occur in a reflex mechanisms in patients with lumbar osteochondrosis, in the presence of pathologyof the lumbosacral junction, vertebral static disorders. Lumbago is still the generic term, which essentially is treated differently. The concept oflumbago is now [...]

Low back pain - a common occurrence in adults. It often occurs due to fatigue or muscle tension. Attention to this issue will help you stay as active as possible, as well as give you an idea of ​​what a prolonged or repeated back pain is not so unexpected or dangerous. With pain below the waist can be overcome if you want to stay active - avoid positions and activities that may increase or cause back pain, use ice and nonprescription medications for pain, when you need them. If you have experienced by acute pain, you’re ready to light strengthening exercises for your stomach, back and legs, and perhaps [...]

Osteoarthritis is chronic wear of cartilage of the jointaccompanied by an imbalance between production and degradation of bone cells. Osteoarthritis is a complex phenomenon involving physical and metabolic factors. In a joint, cartilage covers the ends of bones and participates injoint mobility with minimal friction. The cells are replaced at the same rate they are destroyed. The joint thus preserves all itsmobility capabilities. When replacing cells is slower than their disappearance, and / orphysical constraints (shocks, repeated rubbing) are too high, the metabolic balance of the relationship goes wrong. The [...]

Degenerative disc disease as part of the natural aging process.Unfortunately, as and as we age, our intervertebral discs lose theirqualities of flexibility, elasticity and shock absorption. The ligaments in turn called the annulus disc become brittle and tearmore easily. At the same time, the tender heart of the disk (called the nucleus pulposus), of gelatinous consistency, is beginning to dry out and shrink. Damage to the intervertebral discs, the development of spurs and progressive thickening of the ligamentssupporting the spine can all contribute to cause degenerative arthritis of the lumbar spine.

Pars joint part that joins the upper to the lower joint and is continuity with the blade, the pedicle and transverse. Not described anatomically Spondylolysis (SPLyse) is a break in the pars: it is a stress fracture that occurs in children. It is an acquired disorder in which the factors congenital or dysplastic are only contributing factors. This divide separates the vertebrae in two parts and, if it does not consolidate (nonunion) allows slippage of the vertebra in the spine before taking anyoverlying: the spondylolisthesis (SPL) isthmus. It affects mainly L5, L4sometimes, rarely other vertebrae. In other cases, it is osteoarthritis, which by its wear facet jointsallows slippage of [...]
