Osteoporosis prevention can be accomplished, even with an osteoporosis diagnosis. There are steps along with your doctor’s treatment plan and recommendations to help control the disease from progressing. A plan can be generated to improve general health and reduce the chances of a fracture in the spine or other bones.

Doctor Discussion

Make an appointment with a specialist to talk about osteoporosis risk factors. If you are 40 years of age or older, take some time to review the list of potential risk factors to discuss. An individual’s response can help prepare for this healthcare discussion.

Risk Factors

  • The individual has had a bone fracture as an adult – wrist, hip, spine, etc.
  • History of osteoporosis in family – mother, sister, father.
  • Body Type – small, medium, large frame.
  • Body Shape – Thin, frail, overweight, obese.
  • No regular exercise.
  • Tobacco use – smoke, vaping, chewing, etc.
  • Alcohol consumption – Drinks 3 or more times a week, sometimes binge drinks.
  • Diet does not include calcium – milk, yogurt, or vitamin D – cheese, eggs.
  • Occasional crash diet.
  • Eating disorders – anorexia, purging, bulimia.
  • Corticosteroid/s use and/or anti-convulsant medication/s use.
  • Less stability on feet.
  • Experiences occasional falls.
  • Women – 45 or younger, beginning of menopause, 50 or older, post-menopause.
  • Men – Diagnosed with low testosterone levels.
 

Learn Your T-score

A bone mineral density test is the most dependable way to predict and detect osteoporosis. It is a painless test and can take around ten to thirty minutes to complete. The T-score is a number that lets an individual know where their bone density it and if it is good or not so good.

Build Bone Mass

Bone mass can be built up by including weight-bearing and resistance exercise into a regular workout. The difference between weight-bearing and resistance exercises is that weight-bearing uses the bone/s and muscle/s to work against gravity. Walking, jogging, and dancing, are examples of weight-bearing exercises. Weight lifting or free weights are examples of resistance exercise. Here the body’s muscular strength is being utilized. This helps build bone mass and strengthen muscles.

Calcium/Vitamin D Rich Diet

Taking the time to nourish the body properly will help with osteoporosis prevention and achieve optimal health. Calcium and vitamin D won’t completely prevent or cure osteoporosis, but it is essential to include these minerals and vitamins in your diet daily. If an individual is lactose intolerant, there are fortified food products like orange juice and cereal/s to help meet daily mineral/vitamin requirements. Check out the best and worst foods for bones. Supplements are another option to help boost calcium and vitamin D. Your doctor will know how much calcium and vitamin D you need. Taking too much is not being health-wise. Taking too much of a supplement can make an individual sick. Registered Dietitians and Health coaches can educate on making wise food and supplement choices. A doctor can aid in finding either in your area.

Stop Smoking

Smoking increases the risk of osteoporosis. Smoking affects pretty much every organ in the body. Smoking interferes with the body’s ability to absorb calcium and lowers the hormones the body needs to build and keep the bone mass. Quitting will decrease the risk of cancer, heart, lung disease, and osteoporosis.

Reduce Alcohol

Too much alcohol consumption causes poor nutrition. Poor nutrition causes bone density to decline, which leads to osteoporosis. And alcohol increases the risk of falling. Falls are one of the leading causes of spinal/other bone fractures. So contact your doctor or chiropractor and discuss an osteoporosis prevention plan.

Thoracic Spine – Middle Back Basics

11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Thoracic Spine - Middle Back Basics
Shirtless male patient holding artificial spine while female therapist examining back at hospital ward
The thoracic spine known as the middle back starts below the cervical or neck spine at around the level of the shoulders. It continues down to the first level of the low back or lumbar spine. There are twelve vertebrae, numbered T1-T12 top to bottom, and it is these vertebrae that make up the thoracic spine. When seen from the side, a normal forward curve can be seen.  
11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Thoracic Spine - Middle Back Basics
 
The ribs are attached to the thoracic spine’s vertebrae making this region of the spine strong and stable. However, this area has less range-of-motion than the neck region. Because of its location, the thoracic spine deals less with injury/s than other areas of the spine. But it is the most common area for fractures from osteoporosis. Scoliosis and abnormal kyphosis are also thoracic spine disorders.  
 
Getting to know the body’s spine and how it functions can help individuals have a better and thorough understanding of possible causes to upper and middle back pain, a doctor’s diagnosis, and the reasons for how simple lifestyle changes/choices can keep the middle back, as well as, the rest of the spine healthy.

Thoracic Support

The thoracic spine gives support to the torso, chest and provides an attachment point for each of the rib bones, minus the two at the bottom. The vertebral bodies are rounded with bony arches that project from the back of each and form a hollow protective space for the spinal cord. Facet joints are paired at the back of each and allow for limited movement.

Intervertebral Discs

There is a fibrous pad called an intervertebral disc that is held in place by the endplates between each level’s upper and lower vertebral bodies. Each disc acts like a spacer creating disc height/space between the upper and lower vertebrae. This space opens nerve passageways called a foramen or neural foramina at both sides. Nerve roots branch off the spinal cord and exit the canal through the neural foramina.

Soft Support Structures Limited Movement/s

The entire spinal column consists of:
  • Ligaments
  • Tendons
  • Muscles
These soft tissues attach to the bones, the discs, and work together to stabilize the midback when resting and when in motion. Ligaments are the strong bands of tissue that connect/protect the vertebrae, discs, provide stability, and help with excessive movement. Muscles hold the body upright and allow spinal flexion which is bending forward, extension bending backward, and rotation twisting from side to side. And the tendons are fibrous tissues that attach the muscle/s to the bone.

Nerves Role

The twelve pairs of nerve rootlets that branch off the cord through the neural foramen are to supply and generate sensation/feeling along with function/movement to the body. These nerves provide nutrients to the midback and chest area and relay signals between the brain and major organs, including:
  • Lungs
  • Heart
  • Liver
  • Small intestine

Spinal Disorders

  • Osteoporosis raises the chances of a thoracic fracture. A vertebral compression fracture can cause one or more bodies of bone to flatten or become wedge-shaped creating spinal cord/nerve compression. Sudden and severe back pain can be associated with vertebral compression fractures.
  • Scoliosis is an abnormal side to side curvature of the spine and is well known to develop in the thoracic spine causing deformity.
  • Abnormal kyphosis means the forward curvature has become extreme. The appearance of a kyphotic deformity can be seen as a hump.
11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Thoracic Spine - Middle Back Basics
 

Types of kyphosis:

  • Congenital or appearing at birth
  • Posture related
  • Scheuermann’s disease
  • Metastatic cancer where it travels from the chest, or lung causing spinal tumor/s that can develop and potentially lead to structural deterioration
  • Thoracic disc herniations are not common because of the middle back’s strength and stability created by the ribcage.

Spine Maintenance

Talk with your doctor, chiropractor, spine specialist about stretches and exercises that will work for your specific situation to strengthen the core, and middle back musculature. This will help significantly with injury prevention during flexion, extension, and rotation.
  • Pay attention to posture
  • Learn to use proper body mechanics
  • Quit smoking/vaping
  • Healthy diet
  • Learn about the risks for osteoporosis and talk with your doctor about a preventive bone maintenance plan.

Self-Massage Techniques

11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Self-Massage Techniques
Female Athlete Massaging Shoulders with Foam Roller
Dealing with chronic back pain along with the COVID-19 pandemic can make it difficult to find relief on a regular basis. When regular massage sessions are not available these self-massage techniques can relieve pain and loosen tense muscles. Massage therapy has been shown to reduce low back pain, specifically for short-term purposes. There are massage therapist/s that are open with precautions in place. But there’s a good chance the massage therapist will not be able to see an individual right away when the pain presents. Back pain will not wait so here are a few tips on self-massage that individuals can do at the house.  
11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Self-Massage Techniques
 

Safety First

Consult your spine pain specialist, chiropractor, or doctor to determine the cause of the pain and if massage will be beneficial. Before starting a self-massage regimen, be sure pain levels are not severe and you are able to perform the massage techniques. Any muscle region, spine included, can benefit from massage both professionally and self. If at any time during the massaging different pain presents other than the massage soreness, stop and evaluate what could be happening. These self-massage tips are aimed at reasonably healthy individuals. Be mindful of herniated discs, any type of impingement, or spinal compression. If an individual has this type of injury acquire medical instruction on how to perform self-massage techniques specifically for these conditions from a physician, chiropractor, or physical therapist.  
 

Self-massage

Massage therapy helps in relieving back and neck pain in different ways.
  • Relaxes muscles
  • Improves range of motion
  • Reduces injury
  • Maximizes healing
  • Better sleep
If working from home and too much sitting has your back tight, in knots, with muscle tension, and stress, self-massage is an answer that works. It is a great alternative until the massage therapy appointment.

Applied Pressure

One way to give yourself a massage is to locate the painful area/s and gently apply pressure with the thumb/s, moving the muscle/s statically by just rotating the arm/hand together with the thumb pressing on the area. If possible get into a comfortable stretching position and massage the area while the muscle, joint, ligament is stretched out and find the painful area and work it if not with the thumb technique then use a foam roller, massage tool, tennis ball, massage ball, etc, also done in slow circular motions. When applying pressure, don’t push it to the limit like working out. That is not the goal. The objective is to work out the pain/soreness and loosen up the area. Therefore it’s best to start gently and gradually build up to stronger pressure as long as it feels correct and the pain does reduce. Gradually increase the intensity of the pressure, heat, sessions, etc. But do not overdo it, as that could worsen or cause further injury.

Stretch

Although not directly massaging an area, stretching is a form of self-care that keeps the body loose and limber. Stretching out is recommended at the beginning of the day and before exercising. An example is runner’s lunge pose and a yoga pose called pigeon. These are excellent stretches for releasing the psoas muscle, located in the lower lumbar region.  
 
Yoga can help by stretching and releasing the hips, glutes, and back muscles. As with massage don’t overdo the moves, overstretch, or hold the poses for too long. Consult with a doctor for any medical concerns where yoga could be dangerous and impair health. Additionally, a family member, spouse, partner, or friend can be very helpful when stretching. Assisted stretches help and reduce the effort required to stretch oneself. Some assisted stretches include the supine twist and hamstring stretches. If you are the one assisting and want to guide the pain-relieving stretches, start gently, slowly, and pay attention to verbal and non-verbal cues, like a wincing face, and short breathing.

Utilize Massage Tools/Devices

Utilize self-massage tools and devices that can help deliver pain relief. Foam rollers and tennis balls can help with trigger points, areas of muscle pain and can help with the hard to reach areas. Massage balls can also help to apply balanced pressure and even circular massage motion. These tools are typically sandwiched between the wall or floor and the individual who rolls drags or creates friction to effectively work the muscle/s tightness, and knot/s out. Motorized massagers can help with muscle tension in the lower side of the back, hips, and glutes.  
11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Self-Massage Techniques
 

Partner

Sometimes however there are areas difficult to reach and even if reachable massaging the area isn’t the same because of the awkward position. When this happens if possible use a spouse, family, friend, or partner to massage out those points. This could be the middle back and hamstrings to get a thorough massage. Just like a professional massage therapist having someone else can be a great help in applying heat or ice to areas that can be troublesome. But if not then make do with what you’re able. Self-massage can be very helpful and beneficial until you are able to see your massage therapist, chiropractor, or physical therapist.

Kinesio taping is common for injuries, but can also be effective for non-sports related injuries/ailments. Kinesio taping is a rehabilitative therapeutic taping method that facilitates the body’s ability to heal naturally. The tape provides support, and stability for muscles, and joints without restricting motion. Plus there is added soft tissue support prolonging the tape’s effectiveness. The technique can have added benefits when combined with chiropractic. This technique is the norm among athletes nowadays but can benefit everybody. As a chiropractic physician, I use the technique for:
  • Sports injuries
  • Sprains
  • Strains
  • Injury Prevention
  • Pregnancy
The taping involves applying the tape over and around muscles stimulating them to send neuromuscular signals that optimize performance and helps injuries heal naturally. This is a versatile treatment that can benefit everyone.  
11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Benefits of Kinesio Taping For Everyone, Not Just Athletes
 

Pain Relief

We all get strained, overused muscles that can cause tension and soreness. Millions suffer from neck, upper, mid, and low back pain from poor posture or sitting all day. It reduces pain by relieving the pressure on the strained or injured area. According to a study, stroke patients with shoulder pain experienced relief and reduction in shoulder pain after three weeks of Kinesio Taping intervention. Another study published in the Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation had similar results for reduced pain in patients with tennis elbow. Kinesio tape therapy can improve pain symptoms while continuing to heal the specific muscle/s.

Reduce Inflammation

It also reduces pressure on the lymphatic system, which removes fluid from the tissues. Reduced pressure allows the body to drain fluids like lactic acid that can build up in an injured area. This benefit goes beyond just healing injuries. It helps reduce inflammation and swelling after surgery and with inflammatory conditions like lymphedema. Kinesio could be beneficial for individuals with chronic inflammatory conditions.

Spinal Tumors

11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Spinal Tumors
Doctor explaining anatomical spine to patient in medical office
A spinal tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue either inside the spine or outside. It is also called a neoplasm meaning a new abnormal growth. They can develop in the bone, spread to other parts of the spine, or outside the spine, like the lungs and chest. Tumor cells can multiply slowly or very rapidly. Tumors are either cancerous or non-cancerous. They can develop anywhere in the spine:
  • Cervical – neck
  • Thoracic – mid-back
  • Lumbar – low-back
  • Sacral – sacrum
It is not uncommon for spinal tumors to develop out of a tumor from the individual’s breast, lung, kidney, prostate, or another area of the body that has spread out.  
11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Spinal Tumors
 

Symptoms

Whether cancerous or not, spinal tumors can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
  • Pain not related to an injury or physical activity.
  • Pain in the back or neck that presents suddenly, quickly worsens, especially at night. This can be an indicator of a spinal tumor.
  • Pain that radiates to other parts of the body, like the arms, hands, legs, and feet.
  • The pain continues even when resting.
  • Muscle weakness or loss of sensation, especially in the legs, arms, or chest.
  • Difficulty walking
  • Abnormal curvature of the spine not from poor posture
  • Paralysis
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Lowered sensitivity to heat and cold
An individual could have a dominating symptom/s or a combination.

Causes

As previously mentioned these tumors can originally develop in another part of the body and then metastasize to the spine. These types of tumors are secondary tumors. Research scientists are still trying to figure out what exactly causes primary tumors that originate in the spine. One theory believes genetics plays a role.  
 

Early diagnosis

The most common symptom of a spinal tumor is pain. Examinations and diagnostic tests will be conducted both physical and neurological. A doctor or specialist needs to see and evaluate the spine. This is essential in diagnosing a potential tumor. A doctor could also order:
  • CT scan
  • MRI
  • PET scan – Positron Emission Tomography
  • Myelogram if there are symptoms of spinal cord compression
If the imaging reveals a tumor, a biopsy could be performed. A sample of tissue will be examined under a microscope to see if the tumor is cancerous or not. If the tumor is cancerous, the biopsy will show the type of cancer and determine the stage of the disease. Depending on the tumor type and location, other tests/procedures could be recommended.

Treatment

There are many factors that go into creating an optimal treatment plan. This includes whether the tumor is cancerous or not, size, location, and symptoms. Types of treatment:
  • Observe and wait as small non-cancerous tumors that are not growing or impinging/pinching other spinal structures could only need to be monitored for changes.
  • Surgery
  • Radiation treatment
  • Stereotactic radiosurgery works by delivering a high dose of radiation specifically targeted at the tumor
  • Chemotherapy

Self-Care Practice When Back Pain Flares Up

11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Self-Care Practice When Back Pain Flares Up
Self-care practice when back pain flares up is a way for individuals to give themselves self-therapy attention in the midst of crazy schedules. It’s never been more important than now to be able to take care of oneself when back or any type of pain presents. For a few minutes, daily physical and mental health activities can make a difference. Self-care is the ability to self-manage pain and take care of our constantly changing needs daily. Regular self-care is essential to our families, and friends well being. Pain is emotionally and physically taxing on the body. It brings and encourages mental/emotional and physical balance, which helps, especially when there is a condition that causes pain. There is a connection between self-care and chronic pain that is being studied currently. Studies are finding that individuals practicing self-care in addition to regular medical care have significant reductions in pain and reduction in disability. So, alleviate back pain with a few self-care tips.  
11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Self-Care Practice When Back Pain Flares Up
 

Hot Bath

Hydrotherapy better known as a hot bath can provide pain relief. Adding Epsom salt for these baths contains magnesium which can help relax muscles and the body.

Self-Massage

Self-massage is a great way to care for oneself. Applying gentle pressure to painful spots or use massage devices like foam rollers and tennis balls to massage the pain away.

Music Therapy

Music can be an effective way to ease back pain. Research has shown that music can be a complementary treatment when addressing chronic pain. It helps especially when an individual is experiencing back pain along with a low/negative mood.

More Sleep

Poor sleep has been proven to increased back pain. Getting the proper amount of sleep is essential in addressing pain. Healthy sleep hygiene and bedtime routines will significantly help with the body’s recovery, healing, and general health.  
 

Yoga

Yoga stretching is highly effective in relieving and avoiding/preventing back pain completely. Poses like the cat, cow, triangle, and child’s pose will generate relief along with improving balance.

Healthy Diet

Diet and lifestyle changes have been proven to reduce inflammation, which can cause chronic pain. Go with whole foods that are minimally processed. This will help reduce inflammation. Healthy weight along with healthy body mass keeps the spine healthy and free of the added stress from the weight. Therefore a sensible diet is the single most important factor in weight loss.

Connection

Isolation can exacerbate pain. Loneliness can be a significant risk factor in the development of pain, and with time, depression, and fatigue. Simply reaching out and connecting with loved ones, friends, co-workers, etc, could help in soothing the pain away.

Mindfulness

Mind-body therapy as a method to treat pain has been proven in various studies. Individuals taking part have reported significantly lower pain than those who only received traditional medical care. What happens is you are training your mind senses to be present and focused on what you are doing, the surroundings, etc, and not focusing, and getting lost in the pain. However, sitting down and meditating is not for everybody.

Drink the Proper Amount of Water

Hypohydration, which is not enough water can increase pain. Therefore, drink up.  
 

Stretching

Stretching will definitely decrease pain and allow for practicing mindfulness. It doesn’t matter when the stretching happens so long as, the individual sticks with it and continues development to further their ability and flexibility. Core abdominal exercises are very helpful for back pain and strengthening.

Go Outside

Many of us know that getting out in nature feels good mentally and physically, and it can actually relieve pain, too. Nature therapy or ecotherapy has shown to improve the psychological and physiological symptoms associated with chronic pain. Connecting to nature can have tremendous benefits for optimal health.

Heat Therapy

Heat, whether from a topical agent or heating pad can soothe the mind and spine. Check with a doctor before trying any type of heat treatment.

Frequent Breaks

Taking breaks is essential for the mind in keeping stress levels balanced. This can lessen back pain. Just a few minutes to stop whatever and take a few minutes for yourself and your health. Taking proper physical and mental rests throughout the day to stretch out, move around, and do something else. This will help keep things open and fresh, as opposed to going through the same thing over and over with less than optimal results. The mind needs to reflect.  
11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Self-Care Practice When Back Pain Flares Up
 

Go Easy

Go easy on yourself, this is probably the most important form of self-care. If the pain is too intense, do not force yourself to work through it. Use the various techniques mentioned and go slowly, with the fundamentals of combating pain and chronic pain. Slow down whenever you feel the need.

Meet Trudy – Clinical Patient Liaison, Clinical Operations Officer, Mother and Wife

Truide Torres Sciatica Injury Specialist

Presenting Truide Torres Jimenez. ( Clinic Director: Injury Medical Clinic PA &  Patient Relations Advocate  & WAY More)

Truide has been working for the past 20 years in claims resolutions. She works hand in hand with patients and is available to resolve dispute resolutions. She also works as the patient liaison for clinical and legal matters.

Truide Torres Jimenez (Brief Bio & Her Personal Message) Driven by the passion of doing what is in the best interest of the patient, I wake up every morning with the drive to help those in need. The claims process for health care is full of pits, valleys, and difficult obstacles designed to strike fear in those in need. My duty is to do what is within the confines of the law, “whatever it takes” to get those involved to pay attention to those who need help. That is what I am honored to do for our patients.

My Purpose: In finding my purpose, I find the bigger “Why” behind my business. This is essential in the challenges I have seen in these times. Each day, I search for God’s message in my purpose which I pray takes me to another level. At the end of the day, I too do not want to work for the sake of working.  As humans and God-fearing individuals, we like to know we’re in alignment with what we feel we are called to do. So getting with my purpose and my “why” has always so important to me.  I love people and I want to help them, especially when they are in need.

My Commitment As defined, commitment is “the state or quality of being dedicated to cause activity, etc”  Without commitment, it is difficult, if not impossible to push through challenges to reach our goals. My commitment is to serve my fellow person in their clinical needs and find the right solution for them.

My Dedication: “The quality of being dedicated or committed to a task or purpose is what I strive daily for every day”.  I have always told my children, that once you have a purpose, you commit to it and you see it through. I too try to live my life by those words. Yes, its work, and there is no substitute other than to dig in and get it done. There is no substitute for practice and preparation.  Our success with our patients has always been dependent on the level of effort we as a team has been able to mutually focus on with our independent and prioritized tasks. I commit to being dedicated to our God-directed purpose.

Perseverance I believe that to persevere, you must show continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failures, or oppositions. With our patients and those we assist, we face many challenges and at times need and pray for the ability to push through and pick ourselves up when down. I can only imagine how my clients feel. For that reason, I push harder to help them.  Simply put, each challenge we as a team overcomes, the closer we can help our patients and those in need.

Spinal Hardware Removal When Broken or Infected

11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Spinal Hardware Removal When Broken or Infected
Female surgeon reading reports in operation theater of hospital
Different spinal surgical procedures use various types of spinal hardware to stabilize the spine. When this hardware breaks or gets infected sometimes it could have to be removed. The reason for this spinal hardware, whether from injury, disease, or a condition, that area of the spine needs added support other than the bone, collagen, ligaments, and other tissues. Surgeons utilize this hardware to:
  • Stabilize the spine
  • Correct deformities
  • Regain motion
  • Height restoration
  • Pain relief
  • Help heal another area of the spine
The hardware ranges from rods, plates, cages, wires, spacers, etc. There are many types and are employed in various operations. Many spine procedures involve some type of hardware. A surgeon relies on this spinal hardware to complete procedures involving realignment of the spine or spinal fusion. Many patients undergo spine surgery without complications, however, some have problems with the hardware. The most common issues are the hardware loosening, breaking, or the development of an infection. Unfortunately, when this happens it can mean that another surgical procedure may be necessary to remove the hardware/device.

Spinal Instrumentation

All of these pieces of equipment are designed to remain in the body permanently. The hardware can be made from stainless steel, titanium, and titanium alloy. Spinal fusion is common, involves hardware, and could be necessary to help/correct:
  • Spinal deformity/s
  • Degenerative condition/s
  • Heal fractures
  • Other issues causing back pain
The procedure involves the surgeon grafting bone between two vertebrae. Then the hardware is used to hold those vertebrae together. This eliminates motion between them. This is how the vertebrae fuse into a single bone, which reduces or eliminates the pain. Like with any surgical procedure complications can include hardware failure.  
 

Spinal Hardware Removal Reasons

If the hardware loosens, gets infected, or the patient can feel some of the hardware under the skin a surgeon will likely recommend removal. Intense, excessive pain is often a symptom of a loose screw and other hardware complications. If the hardware is protruding under the skin the patient could feel a bump that could cause pain when touched. Loose hardware could irritate the surrounding tissues and nerves, resulting in the patient feeling pain or hearing a grating, crackling, or popping sound. Loosened instrumentation can be caused by the bones of the spine not healing or fusing correctly. The hardware can also shift and break from the bones not healing properly. Other reasons for hardware failure shortly after surgery.
  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Participation in high-impact activities
  • Trauma from accident, slip, fall, etc.
  • Health conditions especially osteoporosis and osteopenia can increase the risk of the instrumentation loosening, breaking, and shifting.
Quite uncommon but some patients develop infections right after or weeks following the surgery. When the hardware gets infected the patient could feel pain along with the site of the incision draining, and fever. Key indicators around the incision site are:
  • Chills
  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Tenderness
Sometimes there are allergic reactions to the hardware itself. However, this has decreased significantly in recent years. This was common with stainless steel before the use of titanium.

How The Removal Is Done

This type of removal surgery is typically not considered an emergency unless the nerves or spinal cord are at risk of being injured/damaged. The exact procedure depends on the individual’s specific situation and case. However, it will be easier than the first surgery. Removal is typically nowhere near the extensiveness of the initial instrumentation placement. Before the procedure, the surgeon will advise preparation tips, just as with the original surgery. To optimize recovery, patients should ensure they are in the best possible health that they can be. This means no smoking, light exercise, and even breathing exercises for optimal lung function. Patients should not begin any new medication regimen prior to the surgery and should ensure all medications are known to the surgical team. The procedure will go in through the original incision and remove any scar tissue around the hardware. Depending on the situation the hardware could be reinserted or left out entirely.

Post Removal

Hospital stay depends on the individual situation. Some patients go home the same day and some have to wait. If there was an infection it more than likely means an extended hospital stay to make sure the infection is gone and has not spread elsewhere. The healthcare team will give directions just as with the original surgery which can include detailed instructions on:
  • Sitting
  • Sleeping
  • Showering
  • Taking meds
  • Sex
Recovery from hardware removal depends on the extent of the surgery. Contact the surgical team if experience new or unusual symptoms after the procedure, including fever, pain beyond the surgical soreness, numbness, weakness, tingling, and for problems/issues around the incision area, like bleeding, redness, swelling, and draining.

Bottom Line

Spinal hardware helps the spine heal, and ultimately reduces or eliminates the back pain improving quality of life. Instrumentation and devices can be defective, causing them to break, loosen, etc and need to be replaced. It’s just in this case the replacement has to take place in and around the spine. A doctor will assess the damage and decide if removal surgery is necessary, which will prevent further problems.

Head Down, Shoulders Hunched Forward = Phone Neck Pain

11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Head Down, Shoulders Hunched Forward = Phone Neck Pain
Beautiful young woman with music headphones around her neck, surfing internet on a smartphone and sitting against park background.
Being attached to a smartphone and looking down for a long can cause phone neck pain. We are all constantly connected to our family, friends, work, etc. When we keep our head down, shoulders hunched forward, neck straining from the uncomfortable angle for a long time a neck injury can develop. This has to do with knowing how to maintain proper posture while using a smartphone. Most of us know this syndrome as tech neck, text neck, and is caused by straining the neck too far down and forward while talking/texting, etc. Holding this position for too long will cause neck muscle strain and pain. This also occurs with handheld devices with users hunching their shoulders forward. The awkward neck angel and rounded shoulders strain the entire upper body.
11860 Vista Del Sol, Ste. 128 Head Down, Shoulders Hunched Forward = Phone Neck Pain
 

Phone Neck Pain Stretches/Tips

Here are a few tips along with some light stretches/exercises to keep the neck muscles flexible and loose.
  • Try to bring the phone to eye level.
  • Check around and look up from the screen every few minutes so as not to remain in a downward position.
  • Incorporate light and easy neck stretches and exercises.

Chin Tuck

Move the chin towards the chest, and hold for 5 seconds as there will be a comfortable stretch from the neck to the base of the skull to the mid-back. Try doing a few up to 10 times until you feel thoroughly stretched.

Side Bend

Tilt the head to the right, bringing the ear close to the shoulder. Use your hand to pull your head farther into the stretch if possible. Hold for 20 seconds. Bring the head back to the center, and tilt to the left, and hold for 20 seconds. Repeat this motion 3-5 times on each side.

Head Rotation

Rotate the chin towards the right shoulder and hold for 20 seconds. Use your hand to push your head farther into the stretch if possible. Bring the head back to the center, and rotate to the left, and hold for 20 seconds. Repeat this motion 3-5 times on each side. Neck pain can turn into a full injury or condition if an individual continues with this form of very poor posture. Taking care of our bodies needs to be a priority. Make proper posture a habit and it will help prevent neck and back pain from developing. This along with related posture and biomechanical issues. Proper posture means the head is upright, the ears are in line with the shoulders, and the shoulder blades are down.
