Watch Bob’s weekly progression video on how his Herniated Disk Pain Relief Continued here at Accurate Care Pain Relief Center in North Phoenix, AZ. Bob, age 42, started treating with Dr. Leisa-Marie Grgula, D.C. here 5 days ago after MRI showed degenerative disk disease and disk bulges at L3-L4 and L4-L5. His most intense pain came from a severely herniated disk at L5-S1. This video was taken on his fifth visit, hear him describe his fast pain relief. Watch for Bob’s third video next week!
Here is the summary page of Bob’s MRI report…
Impressions:
- Degenerative disk disease and subchondral marrow signal alteration as described.
- Nuclear impression deformities, which are of no clinical significance.
- Mild facet arthrosis at L2-L3 with thickening of ligamentum flavum.
- Minimal broad-based disk bulge at L3-L4 minimally effacing the ventral aspect of the thecal sac without involvement of the exiting nerve roots. There is mild facet arthrosis.
- Broad-based disk bulge at L4-L5 minimally flattening the ventral aspect of the thecal sac and narrowing the inferior aspects of both neuroforamina. There is mild facet arthrosis.
- Circumferential disk bulge at L5-S1 with a superimposed, uncontained lateral disk extrusion measuring 8.8 mm anteroposteriorly. This finding minimally effaces the ventral aspect of the thecal sac and posteriorly displaces the left S1 nerve root and features a 7-mm caudal migration. A sequestered fragment is not positively identified, however cannot be excluded on the basis of this study.
