Synovial Cysts Cause Back and Leg Pain, Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. Offers Relief
A cyst. What does that make you think of? For some Auburn back pain sufferers, it would be a hint to their pain’s source. But the diagnosis of a synovial cyst as the culprit causing pain is an intriguing one. Back pain and leg pain may stem from a synovial cyst which is where Auburn chiropractic care at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is effective. Auburn chiropractic care with the Cox® Technic is shown to help decrease back pain and related leg pain because of a synovial cyst without Auburn 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 associated with degenerative spondylolisthesis and instability of the affected joint. (2,3) Synovial cysts may cause sciatica/leg pain. (4) Synovial cysts appear in females mostly in their 6th decade of life, bringing about radicular pain and neurological deficits. These cysts are generally seen at L4-5 which is also the site of maximum mobility in the lumbar spine. MRI is the diagnostic instrument of choice as it shows the texture of the cyst (more or less fluid). (5) When synovial cysts look lighter on MRI T2 images, they are probably more fluid filled and less likely gelatinous or calcified, making them possibly easier to ease. (6) Synovial cysts have been documented to disappear particularly if the cyst wall is not calcified. (7) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. works to help Auburn 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 jams and prevents the channel from draining and triggers granulation tissue and scar formation probably leading to synovial cyst formation. (8) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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 Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C., Cox® Technic succeeded in relief when an epidural steroid injection didn’t. (11) In another case, a 75 year old man with back and leg pain and a synovial cyst treated for 3 months/16 visits experienced 80% relief. (12) Cox® Technic at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is relieving for numerous Auburn back pain sufferers with synovial cysts.
