Abdominal pain brought on by a spinal
disc herniation? Yes. It is real. Some patients with a
thoracic disc herniation experience a peculiar
abdominal bulge. It is rather rare, but your
Fort Wayne chiropractor is aware of its possibility and relationship to a thoracic disc herniation as its source. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
recognizes the intricacy
of a thoracic disc herniation surgery and delivers conservative,
gentle care to ease pain for many such patients.
ABDOMINAL PAIN WITH THORACIC DISC HERNIATION
Thoracic radiculopathy is quite rare fortunately,
but it can provoke quite a bit of pain and unique
symptoms associated with the abdomen. A case that came out recently was presented in the medical literature. A 52 year
old patient who presented
with severe right flank pain and abdominal pain. The treating physicians determined she had
a T9-10 thoracic disc herniation and proposed an invasive
surgery. (1) Another set of physicians wrote about a
patient with unilateral, one-sided abdominal wall bulging and
thoracic spine radicular pain due to a lateral disc herniation
at T11-12 that returned with bilateral disc prolapse
and motor deficits. This was an even more
unusual case of thoracic disc herniation according to the physicians. (2) Surgeons are ready to do surgery
for usual and unusual cases of thoracic disc herniation if the patient is ready.
SURGERY FOR THORACIC DISC HERNIATION
Surgery for thoracic disc
herniation are complex and quite invasive by reason of its close proximity to the spine cord. Most
thoracic disc herniations happen between T8 and L1. Surgeons write
that they would do surgery for intractable back or radicular
pain, neurological deficits and myelopathy signs (often related to large thoracic disc herniations that occupy greater than
40% of the spinal canal. (3) For patients seeking a conservative
option, Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic offers such.
