Best Annular Tear Treatment in India

Tearing of the annulus can produce pain because the annulus has pain fibers within its structure. Many episodes of low back pain are probably tears in the annulus. This condition is called an annular tear or internal disc disruption or sometimes degenerative disc disease.

A Lumbar Annular Tear most commonly occurring at L4/L5 or L5/S1, may progress to a herniated disc. A lumbar annular tear may result from degenerative disc disease. When an annular tear occurs, the gel-like inner disc material may push through the tear in the outer wall and extrude into the spinal canal. Annular tears often occur as part of the natural aging process as the disc loses water content, and becomes thinner and brittle over the years, potentially deforming and herniating.


Symptoms of Annular Tear

The major symptoms include

• Numbness 
• Tingling 
• Weakness 
• Pain 

Causes of Annular Tears

Annular tears are caused by the natural aging. Since the neck and back are responsible for bearing most of a person's bodyweight, they are susceptible to a great deal of wear over time. By the age of 30, most people's intervertebral discs have begun to degenerate to a certain degree. This degeneration can lead to annular tears since the annulus fibrosus is in a weakened state. Traumatic injury can also cause an annular tear. This is typically seen in those who participate in high-impact sports such as gymnastics and football and in people with strenuous occupations. Those experiencing annular tear symptoms should contact their primary care doctors for information regarding the diagnosis and treatment of their spinal condition.

Treatment for Herniated Discs or Annular Tears

As such, treatment options will be tailored to the person's age, overall health and level of regular physical activity. Annular tear treatment is almost always first attempted conservatively, with a variety of nonsurgical techniques utilized to alleviate the patient's pain and heal the damaged intervertebral disc.
Other examples of annular tear treatment include:

• Epidural injections 
• Pain patches 
• Deep tissue massage 
• Spine alignment correction 
• Hydrotherapy 
• Ultrasound treatment 
• Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation treatment

Surgical Treatment

In most cases, the patient will find sufficient pain relief from a combination of these treatments over several weeks. However, if pain persists, a spine specialist may recommend more advanced treatments, including Spine Surgery, to alleviate the lingering discomfort.

Degenerative Joint Disease most commonly known as osteoarthritis is a painful degenerative condition that results in the deterioration of cartilage tissues that support the weight-bearing joints in the body. Once the cartilage is thinned or lost, the constant grinding of bones against each other causes pain and stiffness around the joint . Abnormal and excess bone formations called spurs grow from the damaged bones, causing further pain and stiffness. Statistics show that degenerative joint disease affects 80% of people over the age of 60.

Causes of Degenerative Joint Disease

Degenerative joint disease is most often caused by nothing more than the regular aging process, although environmental factors like injury, obesity, years of smoking, and prolonged repetitive activities can all exacerbate the onset of arthritis as well.

Symptoms of degenerative joint disease 

• Localized pain at the site of the arthritic joint

Degenerative Disc Treatment in Chennai

A Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is typically associated with aging. As you age, your discs, like other joints in the body, can degenerate and become problematic: That's a natural part of growing older as your body deals with years of strain, overuse, and maybe even misuse.

                             

 

Causes for Degenerative Disc Disease

In most patients, degenerative disc disease will develop slowly over time. When degenerative disc disease develops slowly over time, it is usually caused by repeated daily stresses and minor injuries to the discs in the spine. Daily stresses involve activities like minimal impact sports and lifting and carrying heavy objects. Minor injuries to the disc may occur and not cause pain at the time of the injury.

                            

                         

Treatment Options For Degenerative Disc Disease

For most people, degenerative disc disease can be successfully treated with conservative (meaning non-surgical) care consisting of medication to control inflammation and pain (either oral or injection), and physical therapy and exercise.
