Spine is part of our body that we often ignore.Whereas in the spine is properly stored and protected nerves very important. Sometimes it is our own fault occurs in the bone damage or injury behind us, the consequences can be various kinds. I was one who had experienced pain and spinal pain, which I'm sure you do not want to feel it too. All due to my position in the move which is less well over the years, both in a state of standing or sitting

for Bones Not already Bent

If the injury came to attack, do not necessarily easy to play. For example, by running to the masseuse or shaman bone. Watch out, can-can actually shrink your bones. Do not ignore also the bone tuberculosis, which proved to be able to make a hunchback. Bone, it must be loved.

Most causes of bone injury was an accident. On the highway, most of the victims were motorcyclists. While at home, according to dr. Lutfi Gatam Spot (C-spine) from Clinic DBC (Documentation Based Care), RS. International Bintaro, Tangerang, apparently, due to fall from the attic!

To note, not all injuries were in the form of broken bones. "Just a sprain, sprains, one tendon, ligament, connective tissue alias antartulang interested in, ripped out a bit until it looked swollen, not broken." Additionally, there are efforts from post-traumatic our bodies to freeze the blood so that no swelling occurs. That's why, when the athlete football injury, the first action taken by the medical team is to compress the ice or cold water. This principle of do no harm, do not aggravate the already severe. Do not create a new problem. After that met the doctor.

Are common, many people who go to a masseuse or shaman bone. They would be prejudiced if treated medically longer to recover. Though how this would invite danger. Imagine, the actual bone tissue had been "frozen" is parsed again due to a massage or withdrawn. As a result, the body did not have the opportunity to recover himself.

Heal without scarring
In minor injuries, the first recess with dibidai sprain, usually with brown lint. So, not necessarily in a cast (often a bugbear for some people). When a bone breaks, naturally could actually lengthen again. "The bones and intestines are two special organs that can heal without scarring," said Luthfi.the problem, we want a good connection and can function as before in a relatively quick time. Your doctor will anesthetize the patient so calm and loose, so easy to restore the bone into the correct position. This is different than a masseur or shamans who perform actions without bone numbing anesthetic. Patients who are rebelling because the pain can actually worsen the condition of the bone. Bone could be connected, but not in normal position.

Not a few instances, because of the sprain and then sorted into bone healer, a person is actually a limp because her legs "lopsided." Sometimes called a dislocation injury, the bones out of the shell. Usually occurs in lower leg ankle or knee. Severe pain occurs, a doctor should be treated less than eight hours. If late, there will be disconnected from the network to die because of blood flow. Result is finally dead bone, calcification occurs even amputated.

When a dislocation occurs, the shaman of bone usually instantly recognize and reject the deal, suggesting should be immediately taken to the hospital. Dislocations are easily marked. Victims usually can not walk at all, not even being carried, so that had to be carried. Severe swelling occurs to numb the toe. The ends of the dislocation occurs when the ankle, palm and fingers are usually pale, a sign of blood no longer flowed.

If the fracture is triggered osteoporosis (bone loss), kyphoplasty can be done. Doctors perform minor surgery with local anesthesia for pembalonan and use of special cement for the repair of bone structure. When a broken bone, the body needs more calcium than normal to recover. Thus, allowing an intake of milk, anchovies, chicken claw, papaya, cassava leaves. If necessary, the doctor will give you a bone restorative. No less important, rest the bones of the heavy work for a while.

Beware of bone tuberculosis
Exterior, chiropractors doctor patient was a troubled glance. Most experienced deconcolidated disease who trauma of the spine bearing, which triggered a deformity, a figure deformity. Symptoms initially are perkaratan - commonly called liming - spine, shoulder joints, knees, pelvis. The workers need to pay attention to posture while working, because it could trigger a core ini.Perkaratan deformity is damage to joint cartilage, lining the tip of the bone that serves as a cushion and shock absorbers when the two collided during joint bones room to move. When the pressure is too heavy, cast-prone will be eroded thinning until no longer functioning. Joints felt stiff and sore. These problems can be overcome with physiotherapy, assisted with the reduction in body weight and use of the knee cap.

The most severe deformity is kifosis (derived from Greek, meaning kyphos hump). Kifosis often associated with skoliois, spine curved sideways. New kifosis called when the arch more than 40o. If more than 50o is considered not normal. Kifosis light may not be realized because almost no complaints except fatigue, back pain, and stiffness caused initially considered normal daily activities.

Generally, three types kifosis known. First, congenital kyphosis, congenital abnormalities in the womb since that must be addressed as early as possible, before the age of 10 years.

Second, postural kyphosis the most common (at teenage girls) and commonly called the "hunchback of shrimp." Rarely causes pain and not cause disturbances in adulthood. Overcome by strengthening the abdominal muscles and the knee which makes the body more comfortable.

Third, Scheuermann's khyphosis (taken from a Danish radiologist who first mark). Many occur in the teen years, especially in adolescent boys who are too skinny. Can affect the upper and lower spine (pelvis). Certain movement can trigger pain and ultimately can not afford to sit or stand for long. Can be overcome by using brace (buffer vest torso), exercises to strengthen the spine, and the provision of anti-inflammatory pain relief medication.

There are many triggers kifosis. In Indonesia, most triggers are infections, infected by viruses or bacteria, especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) that attacks the spine. "In public hospitals, especially encountered spinal tuberculosis patients (Spondylitis tuberculosa pott's alias paraplegia) with age range 20-70 years," said Lutfi also served in Fatmawati Hospital, Jakarta.

Bone tuberculosis can be experienced ex-pulmonary TB patients who do not complete their treatment, or infected with TB bacteria without showing symptoms. TB bacteria are "asleep" that followed the flow of blood and excessive force when attacked by the immune system weakens. Bacteria generally breed at the end of vessels, especially in the spinal cord, spinal bodies erode, forming a pocket of pus that can spread throughout the muscles of waist to groin area.

Pus sac and vertebral bodies were destroyed trigger spine "fall", leaning forward. Both of these can lead to emphasis the nerves around the spine which administers the leg, so the symptoms can be tingling, numbness and even paralysis. Vertebral body leaning forward causes the spine can be palpated and prominent in the back, pain when stressed. This is what is called a gibbus (hump). Danger is the toughest leg paralysis, because the emphasis in the spinal nerve trunk.

Not contagious
The good news, bone tuberculosis is not transmitted as pulmonary tuberculosis. However, Gatam Lutfi warned, "Now, all can be affected by TB, including the social economy and highly educated. The exact cause is unknown, but presumably because all life instantly, from fast food contains a lot of pollution is also growth hormone. "Luthi gives an example of two women patients who come from different backgrounds. "Doctor, I just what to do with my back home back to normal. Husband had threatened to divorce me, "said dr. Lutfi Gatam mimic patient complaints, 27-year-old woman from the lower middle of society. The hump on her back makes her "shrunken" from the high 160 cm to 150 com. From checking out that he has humped over the past two years, with 90o slouch. The trigger bone tuberculosis. The only option is surgical recovery.

However, the brunt of the surgical risks are paralyzed. Lutfi surgeon consulted with a number of bones from various countries. Everything did not recommend surgery. But with confidence and expertise, Lutfi was risky path. "Want?" So he asked the patients who answered confidently, "Mau!" Surgery was carried out. Iron planted buffer spine. Lumpuhkah the woman? No. The husband also received a return of his wife who is now recovered to its normal height.

To maintain the condition, the patient had been taking the medicine must comply with immune boosters in order, no recurrence of his tuberculosis, and avoid lifting heavy objects to keep the state of her spine. These achievements are presented in international conferences chiropractors doctor some time ago in Bali.

Another patient was directress banks in their 40s who came after two weeks of paralysis. History, the first three months he had difficulty walking, within six months of his illness got worse until paralyzed. Initially complaints are low back pain, and then spread to the chest, tingling of the legs on the palms up, finally numb. Plump figure, far from the first impression of TB patients who we know - the curved-backed emaciated.

In the early stages, doctors conduct examinations and diagnosis. On physical examination, the patients began to limit bending waist. If indeed suffer kifosis, curved upper back will be more clear. Next, check to see the possibility of neurological disorders such as weakness, paralysis, sensory changes below the sensitivity of slouch. Then X ray observations and measurements to clarify the severity of slouch to make sure type kifosis.

When flexion range 45 - 75o usually doctors recommend the use of brace. If more than 75o, recommended surgery. The objective is to reduce the degree of strengthening and mempertaut slouch with the vertebrae are not normal, keeping the movement and activities that do not aggravate spinal load forever, and defuse complaints on the back that appears before the surgery done.

If necessary, test the ability of the lungs to ensure the existence of respiratory disorders. If there is interference suspected tumor, infection, or nerve, MRI examination was also performed. In this second patient Lutfi did surgery to suck pus that fills the spinal vertebra. To prevent relapse, given medication and advised to make lifestyle changes, including reduced body weight and eating a healthy nutritious and balanced menus. Food for infectious diseases because there is no prohibition in fact he had to keep the intake of nutritious food to maintain body resistance against the virus.

As a result, in the year, the condition of the patient recover. [Christantiowati-summary]
