Main Functions:
• Potent antioxidant.
• Benefit in reversing neuropathic problems.
• Regenerates Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Glutathione and CoQ (Ubiquinone)
What is Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)?
Alpha-lipoic acid or ALA is a naturally occurring compound that's made in the body. It serves vital functions at the cellular level, such as energy production.
Main Functions:
• Helps regeneration and repair injured and damaged nerves.
• Reduces nerve pain and neuropathy symptoms caused by diabetes.
• Maintain normal neural function.
What is Vitamin B Complex?
The Vitamin B Complex in Bionerv® contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12.
Vitamin B1 which is also called Thiamin, enables the body to use carbohydrates as energy. It is essential for glucose metabolism, and it plays a key role in nerve, muscle, and heart function. By taking Vitamin B1, it helps prevent complications in the nervous system, brain, muscles, heart, stomach, and intestines.
Vitamin B6, which is also called Pyridoxine, plays an important role in protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and the creation of red blood cells and neurotransmitters. This Vitamin B6 cannot be produced in the body, so it can only be obtained by external factors.
The Vitamin B12, Cobalamin, is an important water-soluble vitamin involved in red blood cell production, brain health and DNA synthesis. This Vitamin B12 can come in different forms such as Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin. In Bionerv®, Methlycobalamin is used.
Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12 that is not found in nature. Methylcobalamin is a naturally occurring form of vitamin B12 that can be obtained through supplements, as well as food sources.
Methylcobalamin may be retained better within the body.
Both have beneficial effects on health and can prevent B12 deficiencies.
NEUROPATHY
What is Neuropathy >
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that arises when nerves that carry messages to and from the brain, spinal cord and the rest of the body are damaged or diseased.
SPINAL FRACTURE
What is Spinal Fracture >
A spinal fracture, also called a vertebral fracture, is a fracture affecting the vertebrae of the spinal column. Spinal fractures are common around the world and can have a major impact on quality of life. It can cause back pain, loss of appetite, sleep, or respiratory problems, etc. If not treated soon enough, they can even make carrying out daily tasks impossible.

Why do they need to be treated >
A spinal fracture occurs when a vertebral body collapses.
Spinal fracture tends to be very painful and, if left untreated, can adversely affect your general health and well-being.

Vertebral Compression Fracture >
A spinal fracture can occur after an accident. Traumas can be divided into two types:
• Low energy trauma: some diseases, such as osteoporosis or cancer, combined with a low-energy trauma, such as lifting an object or turning over in bed, can cause what are known as “fragility fractures” of the vertebrae.
• High energy trauma: road traffic accident, fall, sports, occupational accidents
Problems arising from fractures >
In addition to being extremely painful, a spinal fracture can affect your balance and therefore increase the risk of new spinal fracture. After an initial fracture, 5 new risks may arise. Each additional spinal fracture exacerbates the deformity of the spinal column, with an increased risk of the complications or reduced functional capacities indicated below:
Reduced mobility, loss of balance and increased risks of falls
Reduction in lung capacity
Chronic back pain and fatigue
Reduced appetite and sleeping problems
Depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem
Diagnosis >
A physical exam together with an X-ray, can help determine whether you have a spinal fracture.
1. Physical examination
Spinal fracture may be asymptomatic, but certain signs may alert your doctor :

Sudden severe or chronic back pain
2. X-Ray Test

Imaging tests such as X-rays or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) might be ordered to confirm the diagnosis of a spinal fracture.
Treatment Options >
1. Nonsurgical Treatment

Pain Medication
Taking over-the-counter pain medication
(non-prescriptive medications & non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) for relieving pain
Back Bracing
provides external support to limit the motion of fractured vertebrae
2. Surgical Treatment

SpineJack®
This surgery procedure is intended for internal fracture reduction and fixation directly within the injured vertebral body.The surgery involves making two very thin incisions about one centimeter long, in your back and creates a narrow access path to the fractured vertebrae to insert two implants. The SpineJack® implants are inserted into the vertebrae and bone cement is injected to stabilize the fracture.
Vertebroplasty
A surgery using small, minimally invasive incisions. Needles are inserted into the area of fractured vertebrae. Acrylic bone cement that hardens quickly are then injected into fractured vertebrae, stabilizing the spinal bone fragments which stabilizes the spine immediately.

Kyphoplasty
This surgery uses small, minimally invasive incisions. A tube is inserted into the damaged vertebrae. A balloon is guided into the vertebrae, then inflated to create a cavity. The balloon is removed, and liquid bone cement is injected into the cavity. When the bone cement hardens, it corrects the bone deformity and relieves the pain associated with spinal compression fractures.

Spinal Fusion Surgery
This surgery uses metal screws that are placed through a small tube of bone and into the vertebrae. The screws are attached to metal plates or metal rods that are bolted together in the back of the spine. This procedure connects two or more vertebrae together, holding them in the correct position, and keep them from moving until they have a chance to grow together, or fuse.
