Signs & Symptoms Of Spinal Dislocation And Instability
Depending on the location and severity of trauma, the signs of dislocation and instability will vary. Some more common symptoms may include:
- Pain in the neck and back
- Numbness and tingling sensation in the arms or legs
- Muscle spasms
- Weakness in the hands or legs
- Difficulty in walking
- Difficulty in maintaining balance
- Bowel or bladder changes
- Urinary urgency or incontinence
Causes Of Spinal Dislocation And Instability
Spinal dislocation and instability is commonly caused by injuries in the spinal cord. When an injury occurs, joints in the vertebrae become weak. Other causes could include illnesses such as spinal tumors and osteoporosis, which will increase the risk of spinal dislocation and instability.
Treatments / Surgical Options
Depending on the patient’s unique symptoms, medications may be prescribed. These could include pain relievers, opioids, and antidepressants.
Only when the patient is at risk of nerve compression will surgery be recommended, with the goal to realign the dislocated joints and bones to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord and nerve endings.
A reduction procedure can be used to correct a spinal dislocation. This involves surgery or traction to realign the dislocated vertebrae. A spinal fusion surgery may be required to align and join the vertebrae to maintain a steady position.
