What are the 7 spinal diseases that result in disability retirement? Any spinal disease can guarantee the right to disability retirement. What really matters to the INSS is whether the disease causes the worker to be totally and permanently unable to work. However, the following diseases are the most common and have the highest incidence of disability benefits granted by the INSS. Check out which degenerative spinal disease results in retirement: HERNIATED DISC A herniated disc occurs when the disc located between the vertebrae moves from its normal position, putting pressure on the surrounding nerves. This can result in intense pain, tingling, local numbness, muscle weakness and even difficulty moving. In more severe cases, a herniated disc can considerably limit the ability to perform work activities and lead to disability retirement. OSTEOPHYTOSIS Osteophytosis is a disease that also affects the spine and is popularly known as parrot's beak. It is characterized by the formation of hook-shaped bone tissue (similar to a parrot's beak) as a way for the body to stabilize the spine when the vertebral discs wear out. DEGENERATIVE DISCOPATHY Degenerative disc disease is a spinal disease in which the discs between the vertebrae of the spine, which are made of cartilage, begin to break down and deteriorate. The main causes are poor posture, carrying weight irregularly, genetic factors, wear and tear, high-impact sports, obesity and smoking. DISC PROTRUSION Disc protrusion occurs due to wear and tear on the disc that is located between the vertebrae. These discs' main function is to allow movement of the spine and cushion the impact between the vertebrae. This disease causes the disc to press on the nerves in your spine, causing pain, numbness and weakness in the arms or legs. Disc protrusion has no cure, which can lead to total and permanent disability and, consequently, disability retirement. Treatments can improve the stability of the spine, alleviate symptoms and, consequently, slow the progression of the disease – but they cannot cure it. CERVICALGIA Cervicalgia is the name given to pain in the cervical spine that can mainly cause stiffness and lack of mobility in the neck region. The pain is usually related to sudden movements, trauma, incorrect posture and excessive weight lifting. In more severe cases, it results in loss of productivity, ability to work and difficulties in carrying out daily activities. SPINAL DEVIATIONS (SCOLIOSIS, LORDOSIS AND KYPHOSIS) The spine usually presents a linear pattern, however some diseases are characterized by causing deviations in regions of the spine. Deviations in the spine can be classified into three types: Scoliosis: is the lateral deviation in the spine. Lordosis: is the excessive curvature of the spine. It can develop in cases of achondroplasia, discitis, kyphosis, obesity, osteoporosis or spondylolisthesis. Kyphosis: is the increase in the angle of the spine in the upper part, popularly known as the hunchback. These deviations cause the worker to suffer from overloading of the joints and to use additional force to perform movements, resulting in discomfort, restricted movement and pain that can make it impossible to perform professional tasks. ANKYLOSING SPONDYLOARTHROSIS Ankylosing spondylitis is a disease caused by chronic inflammation in the spine. It mainly affects the joints of the spine, resulting in persistent pain, stiffness and decreased mobility. In advanced stages, ankylosing spondylitis can significantly hinder the performance of work activities, including the inability to walk. Attention: Ankylosing spondylitis retires due to disability without the need to complete 12 months of waiting time, as it is on the list of serious diseases of the INSS. However, other diseases of the spine may give the right to retirement without waiting time, as we will see below. ????OUR WEBSITE https://bocchiadvogados.com.br ????RETIREMENT CALCULATOR https://bocchiadvogados.com.br/calcul... ☎️ CONTACT Bocchi Advogados Associados Whatsapp (16) 993191348 Talk to our Team via WhatsApp at the link below: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=5... ????BOOK CRAZY TO RETIRE https://bocchiadvogados.com.br/loucop...
