Our Joints Work Better in Water We have known for a very long time that water exercise can benefit anyone, as water's buoyancy accommodates both the fit and the unfit, and you'll burn more calories with less joint wear than you would exercising on land. Joint Supplements The theory behind using the glucosamine and chondroitin joint supplements is that more of the cartilage building blocks will be available for cartilage repair. Lumbar Spinal Stenosis The lumbar spine (lower back) provides a foundation to carry the weight of the upper body. It also houses the nerves that control the lower body. With aging, degenerative changes in the spine can occur. The disks between the vertebrae (bones) may become dehydrated, and the joints may become overgrown due to arthritis. I've Sprained My Neck? The seven bones of the spinal column in your neck (cervical vertebrae) are connected to each other by ligaments--strong bands of tissue that act like thick rubber bands. A sprain (stretch) or tear can occur in one or more of these ligaments when a sudden movement, such as a motor vehicle accident or a hard fall, causes the neck to extend to an extreme position. What is Chordoma? Chordoma is a rare tumour that usually occurs in the spine and base of the skull. It is a malignant tumour that grows fairly slowly. It can spread to other organs, usually the lungs. It represents only about 1 percent of all malignant bone tumours. What is Cervical Kyphosis ? Symptoms of Cervical Kyphosis vary based on the severity. Symptoms vary from minor to severe changes in the shape and size of the spine. The stage may progress to neurological deficits, and also chronic pain. Many times, it gets difficult to move your neck freely. Myofascial Neuralgia Let us now discuss the importance of the gluteus maximus muscle in creating chronic myofacial pain especially how it can develop into producing total body pain (fibromyalgia) and chonic fatigue with or without pain. Fibromyalgia Syndrome and Myofascial pain syndrome Myofascial pain refers to soft tissue pain usually arising from trauma, repetitive activities, or poor posture. It is usually associated with muscle spasm and is most often seen in the region of the neck. Patients may complain of neck pain, pain across the top of the shoulders, sleep difficulties and, occasionally, headaches. Bio-Mechanics a Cure for Back Problems? When our body is in the standing position it is in a state of unsteady equilibrium because the base is small and the centre of gravity is a long way above it. That is why it has to be balanced by keeping the centre of gravity over the base, otherwise the body would fall over. Equilibrium: The steadiness of the body depends on the size of its base and the distance of the centre of gravity from that base. An object having a large base and a low centre of gravity is not easily upset. What is Scoliosis? Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. A certain degree of spinal curvature is often considered normal and usually requires no formal treatment. This may not be considered an abnormal finding in some cases. My Child Has Back Pain? Back pain in children is not like back pain in adults. Compared to an adult, a child with a backache is more likely to have a serious underlying disorder. This is especially true if the child is 4 years old or younger or if a child of any age has back pain accompanied by: · Fever or weight loss · Weakness or numbness · Trouble walking · Pain that radiates down one or both legs · Bowel or bladder problems · Pain that keeps the child from sleeping Rheumatic Disease & Sjogren's Syndrome. Secondary Sjogren's syndrome occurs with rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), polymyositis and some forms of scleroderma. Rheumatic diseases are conditions that affect joints, bones, muscles, skin, and sometimes other organs. What's the Alexander Technique? The Alexander Technique is used to help to teach people about how efficiently and effortlessly they can use their bodies in everyday life. Often, we develop bad posture and habits without being aware of this, and expend too much energy or muscle force to achieve a task. Back Pain - You are not Alone. Practically everybody is subject to back problems. The fact that human beings walk upright, on two legs, puts great pressure on the spine and the muscles that support it. Over time, back pain is all but inevitable. Normal wear and tear, accidents, disease, and such bad "back habits" as unnecessary strain from overexertion at play or work, and poor standing and sitting postures result in both immediate and long-term back problems. My Shoulder is Frozen? Frozen shoulder, usually affects one shoulder at a time, although some people may eventually develop frozen shoulder in the opposite shoulder. The syndrome known as Frozen Shoulder is characterised by painful loss of movement of the shoulder joint. In this case, the word "frozen" is analogous to "stiff". "Adhesive Capsulitis" is a medical term for this syndrome. Back Pain-Every Spines Cup of Tea. Chiropractic is a drug-free, hands-on treatment that can immediately treat the source of your back pain. Accidents, stress, or poor posture can injure your spine causing pain in the surrounding muscles, joints and nerves. Chiropractic treatment works because it treats the cause of your back pain, not just the symptoms. Breech Baby A recent study was done by surveying a large number of doctors of chiropractic who use the technique to see the percentage of results they obtain on real patients. The survey required detailed information to verify the accuracy of the responses. The results showed that 82% of the doctors surveyed reported a high rate of success when using the Webster Technique. I'm Pregnant and My Back Hurts? For some women, symptoms may begin before they are showing and last throughout pregnancy. The cause of back pain during pregnancy is related to many factors: change in body posture, hormones that cause the relaxation of connective tissue in the body, poor body mechanics and muscle fatigue. The actual incidence of a pinched nerve during pregnancy is very rare. Controlling Cancer Pain. Nociceptive pain is caused by damage to tissue. It is usually described as sharp, aching, or throbbing pain. It is often due to tumours or cancer cells that are growing larger and crowding body parts near the cancer site. It may also be from cancer that has spread to the bones, muscles, or joints, or caused a blockage of an organ or blood vessels. Neuropathic pain happens when there is actual nerve damage. It may be caused by a tumour pressing on a nerve or a group of nerves. People often describe this pain as a burning or heavy sensation, or numbness. The Silent Disease! The Silent Disease is the name that is often given to Osteoporosis, as most people don't know they have osteoporosis until it has progressed often to the point of fracture, usually in the hip, wrist or spine.
