Spinal Therapy
There are two fundamental methods of spinal decompression—surgical and non-surgical – that are used for the treatment of severe back pain like disc bulge, spinal stenosis, degenerative spondylitis, etc. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy is performed by using a mechanical traction device connected to an on-board computer control system that regulates the force and the angle of disc distraction that gradually reduces the body’s natural propensity to resist external force or create muscle spasm. Another remarkable surgical method known as Decompressive Laminotomy is highly effective for back pain and also improves patient’s walking capability.

Bone fracture
My younger brother is 14 years old and has suffered a fracture in his right arm. I need an explanation regarding whether a metal plate should be inserted or if a cast is sufficient.
Broken Forearm Issues and Help Needed
I am 16 and had a both-bone forearm fracture on 31 August, which was reduced and treated with a long-arm plaster cast. My recent follow-up X-ray was about 1 week ago and I was told the alignment was fine. Today, at around 4 weeks after the fracture, I moved my whole casted arm from approximately 90° to around 110° relative to the ground. During the movement I felt mild-to-moderate pain in a very small area of the upper forearm/below the wrist, but the pain suddenly disappeared while I was still moving the arm. After that, the previous muscle pain/discomfort around my shoulder also suddenly disappeared, and my hand felt noticeably better. At the same time, the plaster suddenly started feeling less snug throughout the arm, although it is not obviously sliding or rotating. I also notice a familiar nerve-irritation/goosebump or moving sensation when I move my fingers, but there is no persistent numbness or tingling. I can move all my fingers normally, and they are normal in colour and temp
Back pain.
I have pain near my tailbone, but only while sleeping changing the turning right or left or visa versa. When I try to change positions in bed, the pain is extremely severe, and I need support to turn over. I’ve had this pain for almost 5 years, but it has become slightly worse after delivery. I don’t have any pain or difficulty while sitting, standing up, or walking. Could you please let me know what might be causing this?
