Atlantoaxial Instability (Cervical Instability)

Cervical instability (atlantoaxial instability) is a condition in which the connection between the first and second neck bones (cervical vertebrae) becomes loose and allows excessive movement. Mild cases may cause no symptoms, but as it progresses it can compress the spinal cord and lead to serious nerve damage. It is relatively common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Please be sure to decide on an accurate diagnosis and treatment approach through a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Neurogenic Bladder
#neurogenic bladder, #overactive bladder, #urinary incontinence, #residual urine, #bladder function, #stroke, #Parkinson's disease, #diabetes mellitus, #urodynamic study, #clean intermittent catheterization
Neurogenic bladder is a condition in which a problem in the nervous system, such as the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves, prevents the bladder from storing or emptying urine properly. Symptoms are often mild at first and easy to overlook, but without treatment, serious complications such as urinary tract infection and kidney failure can occur. If you have an underlying condition such as stroke or diabetes mellitus, please have your bladder function checked regularly.2026-06-26

A pituitary tumor is a tumor that develops in the pituitary gland, a small organ in the middle of the brain. Most are benign tumors and are not cancer. As the tumor grows or hormone secretion is disrupted, various symptoms can appear, so if you have suspected symptoms, please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Rheumatoid Cervical Spine Disease

Rheumatoid cervical spine disease is a condition of the neck (cervical spine) that can occur in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Unlike common neck conditions, its main feature is instability of the first and second cervical vertebrae, the uppermost bones of the neck. If symptoms worsen, the spinal cord can be compressed and may lead to paralysis, so please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Spine Surgery
#spine surgery, #disc, #spinal stenosis, #disc herniation, #scoliosis, #spondylolisthesis, #spinal rehabilitation, #osteoporosis, #lumbar spine, #cervical spine, #body swelling, #facial swelling, #leg swelling, #swollen hands and feet, #numbness in hands and feet, #arm numbness, #tingling leg, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body
Spinal conditions cause a variety of symptoms, including neck and back pain, numbness in the arms and legs, and gait disturbance. Typical conditions include herniated disc (disc herniation), spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. Most spinal conditions are not life-threatening, so the principle is to start with conservative treatment such as drug therapy and physical therapy, and whether and when surgery is needed depends on each patient's condition. Please consult a medical specialist for an accurate diagnosis and direction of treatment.2026-06-26

Surfer's Myelopathy
#surfer's myelopathy, #surfing, #spinal cord, #paralysis, #hyperextension, #low back pain, #urinary dysfunction, #back pain, #lower back pain, #back strain, #numbness in the hands and feet, #arm numbness, #tingling in the legs, #weakness in the arms or legs, #one-sided weakness
Surfer's myelopathy is a rare condition in which reduced blood flow to the spinal cord during activities that involve excessive backward bending of the spine — such as surfing, yoga, or Pilates — leads to neurological symptoms. If leg paralysis or loss of bladder or bowel control develops after low back pain, go to the emergency room immediately.2026-06-26

Text neck syndrome (known colloquially in Korean as "turtle neck" syndrome) is a neck condition caused by repeatedly holding the head forward while using a smartphone or computer. It can be prevented with good posture and regular exercise, and if symptoms are severe, please be sure to consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26
