Your Heal
Spine Injury
May be
Ruptured Disk

BY HERMAN BUNDESEN, NJ. D
BETWEEN the bones Of the
spine there are cushion-hke pieces
Of cartilage called intervertebral
discs. As a result Of injury. rup-
ture Of these discs may occur.
When this happens, there may be
a sudden sharp pain in the back
which, after a varying period Of
time, passes downward into the
back Of the leg. usually following
the course Of the sciatic nerve.
This pain is, as a rule, not re-
lieved by the usual methods Of
treatment, that is, by rest, heat,
and massage. If treatment Of the
condition is not carried out, there
may be such disturbances Of SEN
sation as numbness and tingling,
and later there may be some vast
ing Of the. muscles.
Irritation Of Nerves
A careful study by the doctor
usually shows evidence Of irrita-
tion Of certain Of the nerves. II
some Of the fluid is removed from
the spine, it is often found that
the protein content Of the fluid 10
more than normal. In such in
stances, Doctors Henry c. Marble
and William A. Bishop Of Boston,
believe that an X-ray Of the spinal
cord should be taken, first inject
ing certain substances into the
spinal canal which will make the
structures visible in the X-ray.
II a protruded disc is present,
O mass will be seen in the X-ray
plate projecting into the spinal
canal. II a substance is injected
into the spinal canal for taking
the X-ray, it must be removed i'm
mediately after the X-ray exam
ination has been carried out.
Intervertebral Rupture
A large number of patients with
rupture Of an intervertebral disc
have been studied in order to de-
termine whether or not operation
is helpful. In one series Of more
than $50 patients, good results
were obtained by operation in
about three-fourths. In about one
sixth of the patients, the symp-
toms were relieved for the most
part. In the remainder, operation
was unsuccessful.
In another group Of more than
400 patients, about the same type
Of results was obtained. 1t was
found that only about one out Of
every twenty patients was not able
TO return 10 his usual occupation
after a period Of time ranging
from three to twelve months. How
ever, a number noted that lifting
heavy objects caused some discom-
fort in the lower part Of the back.
Persons who suffer from pain In
the back which passes into the leg,
should not neglect the condition,
but without delay should have q
careful study carried out To deter
mine il a ruptured intervertebral
disc is present. If so, it would ap-
pear that operation is the most
suitable type Of treatment in most
cases.
