CERVICAL MANIPULATION AND REHABILITATION

CERVICAL MANIPULATION AND REHABILITATION - Cervical manipulation is called called as neck manipulation, is a procedure involving adjustment of the seven vertebrae called C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7 of the spine. This technique is most often used by chiropractors and Manipulative Physiotherapists. Many people with neck pain also have weak muscles in the neck, upper back and core. So once the pain get reduced then by strengthening and stretching of those muscles, more blood flow comes to the area to help repair injury. Ability to function in your daily activities also improves. Stronger muscles provide greater stability to the neck.

SCOLIOSIS MID BACK PAIN

SCOLIOSIS MID BACK PAIN - Spinal deformity is an abnormal alignment or curve of the bony vertebral column. Adult scoliosis and kyphosis can be caused by age-related wear and tear on the back. Scoliosis is a side-to-side curvature of the spine that can develop in adults when their facet joints and discs begin to deteriorate. The facet joints give the spine flexibility, enabling us to twist, stretch, or curl up on the couch. When these joints deteriorate, the spine bones can tilt and begin to shift to one side. Symptoms include pain or stiffness in the mid-to-lower back, and numbness or weakness in the legs or feet. Scoliosis can cause shooting pain down the leg, an inability to stand up straight, and an inability to walk more than a short distance. Symptoms of severe, progressive scoliosis are similar to those of stenosis, but with visible spinal imbalance. This imbalance can result in strain on the hips and knees, the inability to walk a straight line, and falls.

JONES FRACTURE

Jones fracture - Jones fractures occur in a small area of the fifth metatarsal that receives less blood and is therefore more prone to difficulties in healing. A Jones fracture can be either a traumatic fracture or an acute break. They are caused by overuse, repetitive stress or trauma. They are less common and more difficult to treat than avulsion fractures. Other types of fractures can occur in the fifth metatarsal. It is also known as fifth metatarsal fracture. Athletes are commonly injured with Jones fracture and it can be caused by overuse and repetitive strain. The Jones fracture can be mistaken for a simple ankle sprain, but in fact, it is much more serious.

SYMPTOMS

  • Pain, swelling and tenderness on the outside of the foot
  • Difficulty walking
  • Bruising
