Cervical radiculopathy
Cervical radiculopathy, often referred to as a "pinched nerve," is a condition that arises when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated where it branches away from the spinal cord. This can cause pain that radiates into the shoulder, arm, and hand, and can also lead to muscle weakness, numbness, and tingling.
Groin Pain in Athletes
Groin pain is a prevalent and often debilitating issue in athletes, significantly impacting their performance and quality of life. It can arise from various underlying causes and affect multiple structures within the groin region.
Understanding Lumbar Bone Stress Injury
Lumbar bone stress injury (LBSI) is a condition that predominantly affects athletes and individuals engaged in repetitive or high-impact activities.
Understanding Trochanteric Bursitis
Trochanteric bursitis, also known as greater trochanteric pain syndrome, is a common condition characterized by pain and inflammation in the outer part of the hip. This condition can affect individuals of any age but is most prevalent among middle-aged or older adults, especially women. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in managing and recovering from
Tibialis Posterior Tendinopathy
Tibialis posterior tendinopathy is a condition characterized by inflammation and degeneration of the tibialis posterior tendon, often resulting in pain and dysfunction.
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rare, degenerative neurological disorder that affects movement, balance, speech, and vision. Often mistaken for Parkinson's disease, PSP progresses more rapidly and lacks an effective cure, making management of symptoms critical.
TMJ Dislocation
Jaw dislocation, also known as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation, is a condition where the lower jawbone (mandible) becomes displaced from its normal position at the temporomandibular joint. This can result in significant discomfort, impaired function, and a need for medical intervention.
Understanding Sternocleidomastoid Muscle Tension
The human body is a complex network of muscles, tendons, and ligaments working together to support movement and maintain posture. Among these crucial structures is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, often abbreviated as SCM. This bilateral muscle, located in the neck, plays a pivotal role in various head and neck movements. However, when the sternocleidomastoid muscle becomes
Unlocking the Potential of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR)
In recent years, the field of physical therapy has witnessed significant advancements in treatment modalities, one of the most promising being Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) therapy. This innovative technique has revolutionized rehabilitation practices, offering a multitude of benefits for patients recovering from various musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.
Shoulder Acromioplasty: Procedure, Recovery and Benefits
Shoulder acromioplasty, also known as acromioplasty or subacromial decompression, is a surgical procedure commonly performed to address shoulder impingement syndrome and related conditions. This procedure aims to relieve pain, restore function, and improve the range of motion in the shoulder joint.
