Cervical Spondylosis, as we Orthopaedicians describe, is the degenerative change in the Cervical spine vertebrae often presenting on X-ray film as excess bone formation at the vertebral body margins, due to a chronic degenerative pathology. So, a young patient with acute onset neck pain, being diagnosed as Cervical Spondylosis is a Misnomer. An X-ray film of the Neck is a good basic test to diagnose Cervical spondylosis. It often presents with Chronic, dull aching pain which aggravates with extremes of movement. Using a collar provides more psychological reassurance, than actually treating the pathology. A soft/ hard collar is more effective in treating acute muscle spasms of the neck usually precipitated by some injury or an acute disc prolapse. In such cases, we suggest restriction of neck movements to prevent further injury. Two more synonymous terms that need a mention are- Spondylitis, and Spondylolisthesis. The former is an inflammation of the spinous processes of the vertebra, w...

  Cervical pain can be caused as a result of maintaining poor body postures or due to dislocations or fractures of the neck joints. For analyzing the real reason behind the disorders, physicians may advise patients to take a cervical spine MRI. It is a procedure adopted to make an accurate assessment of the condition of the cervical spine. A Noninvasive Procedure with Several Benefits Cervical spine MRI is a noninvasive method used in evaluating the disorders of the cervical sp i ne, especially for patients who are in pain. The main advantage of  using the MRI technique  is that it can create better images of the soft tissues than conventional X-rays. This enables the doctor to distinguish the healthy and strong tissues from the ailing and weak ones. With an MRI of the spine, you can receive detailed images of the structure of the vertebrae that constitute the spine, the spaces between the vertebrae through which the nerves pass, and also the disks. From these images, phy...

  Osteitis pubis is an overtax injury whereby there are both tissue damage and inflammation at the pelvis. The causes are unknown but are commonly due to repeated stress or stress fractures at the pelvic bones. Symptoms of Osteitis Pubis In patients suffering from early Osteitis Pubis normally experience slight groin pain that starts slowly and develops overtime insidiously depending on the activities involved on either one or both sides of the groin to severe pain. The pain can be felt in the adductor muscles and are usually provoked while doing warm up, but reduces during the activity and only to return after the end of the activity. Short periods of rest reduce the pain but it is intensified when the patients attempt to return. They might at times experience pain in either or both lower abdominals and hips. Swelling at the front of the pelvis may also be observed and it might extend to the groin, inner thigh and lower belly. Pain is amplified when there is a sudden change of dir...

  Can an MRI be done without a referral? Can anyone conduct such an examination without a doctor's decision? Magnetic resonance imaging without a referral is possible for private examination. However, in order to perform it, the patient should identify the problem and the reason for performing this form of examination. Resonance without a referral gives you a chance to perform it quickly, because paying for it, we can get the date and then the result very quickly. In the case of the National Health Fund, unfortunately, getting to the test requires several months of waiting. Private resonance without referral is speed, convenience and confidence that we will quickly get the result we are waiting for. In our magnetic resonance imaging laboratory in Bielany, we make every effort to ensure that the examination is carried out quickly, efficiently and without unnecessary stress - although MRI does not require special preparations, but before it is performed, it is worth reading th...

  MAGNETIC RESONANCE TESTING   Magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI for short, is a way of obtaining highly detailed images of organs and tissues in the body without the use of x-rays. Instead, MRI scans use a strong magnetic field, radio waves, and a computer to produce images that identify potential injuries or disease processes. In this exam, the patient is placed in the MR machine - usually a long tunnel-shaped magnet that is open at both ends. Then, thanks to radio waves, signals are generated, captured by the receiver in the MR scanner. These signals are processed by a computer processor to produce highly clear tissue images. MRI is painless and the magnetic field does not cause any known tissue damage. The MR scanner may make loud noises (knocking) from time to time during the examination; the use of earplugs or headphones helps to avoid exposure to this noise. Indications for MRI examination   With the help of resonance, very good images of the muscular ...
