Synovial Cysts Cause Back and Leg Pain, Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc Offers Relief
A cyst. What does that bring to mind? For some Fort Wayne back pain sufferers, it would be a hint to the basis of their pain. But the diagnosis of a synovial cyst as the culprit causing pain is a curious one. Back pain and leg pain may stem from a synovial cyst which is where Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc comes in to help. Fort Wayne chiropractic care with the Cox® Technic is documented to help reduce back pain and related leg pain due to a synovial cyst without Fort Wayne back surgery.
SYNOVIAL CYST FACTS
First, let’s discuss what synovial cysts are. Synovial cysts are uncommon lesions affiliated with facet degeneration and usually found in the lumbar spine at L4-S1. (1) 33% to 40% of synovial cysts are correlated with degenerative spondylolisthesis and instability of the affected joint. (2,3) Synovial cysts may cause sciatica/leg pain. (4) Synovial cysts occur in females mostly in their 6th decade of life, giving rise to radicular pain and neurological deficits. These cysts are commonly seen at L4-5 which is also the site of maximum mobility in the lumbar spine. MRI is the diagnostic tool of choice as it shows the texture of the cyst (more or less fluid). (5) When synovial cysts appear lighter on MRI T2 images, they are likely more fluid filled and less probably gelatinous or calcified, rendering them potentially easier to ease. (6) Synovial cysts have been reported to disappear particularly if the cyst wall is not calcified. (7) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc works to help Fort Wayne back pain sufferers dealing with synovial cyst get rid of them, too.
SYNOVIAL CYST CAUSES
Wilby et al portray a channel that connects the facet joint capsule with the ligamentum flavum, the area where the synovial cysts ermerge. At surgery for these cysts, they found that fragments of articular cartilage and bone were in the walls of the channels in 89% of the cysts. This debris blocks the channel from draining and provokes granulation tissue and scar formation probably leading to synovial cyst formation. (8) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc works on scar tissue to enhance the spine’s fluidity.
SYNOVIAL CYST TREATMENT
Conservative treatment of lumbar spine synovial cysts is recommended as some are included to disappear without surgery. (9) Conservative treatment is practical. If the cyst doesn’t respond, then surgery is an option. (5) Cox® Technic has a record of conservative care relief for synovial cysts. (10) As implemented at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc, Cox® Technic succeeded in relief when an epidural steroid injection did not. (11) In another case, a 75 year old man with back and leg pain and a synovial cyst treated for 3 months/16 visits felt 80% relief. (12) Cox® Technic at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is relieving for numerous Fort Wayne back pain sufferers with synovial cysts.
