Adhesive Capsulitis, more common as FROZEN SHOULDER, is a painful condition that limits the movement of the shoulders. The more pain that is felt, the less likely the shoulders can be used. Lack of use causes the shoulder capsules to thicken and tighten making shoulder movements even more difficult -- "frozen" in its position.

Who is at risk for developing frozen shoulder?

• Ages between 40 and 60 years old
• More common in women than men
• Diabetes
• Other health diseases and conditions: Includes Stroke, Parkinson's disease and Heart Diseases.

What are the treatments for frozen shoulder?

Treatment usually involves pain relief methods until the initial phase passes. If the problem persists, therapy and surgery may be needed to regain motion if it doesn’t return on its own.

Some simple treatments include:

• Hot and cold compresses
• Medicines that reduce pain and swelling
• Physical Therapy
• Home exercises

Can frozen shoulder be prevented?

There is a high chance of a frozen shoulder to be prevented or at least lessened if physical therapy is started shortly after any shoulder injury in which shoulder movement is painful or difficult. Your orthopaedic doctor or physical therapist can develop an exercise program to meet your specific needs.

Everyone's welcome to ask for some advice and tips about Frozen Shoulder.

Pain and disabilities should not be a lifestyle.

Back pain from working long hours? Uncomfortable work-from-home posture? Know more about your back pain and let us help you.

💡What is back pain?
Back pain which can affect people of any age may be caused by certain activities, injury, and existing medical conditions. The older people get, the higher the risk of developing lower back pain.
•Lower back pain may be linked to the bony lumbar spine, discs between the vertebrae, ligaments around the spine and discs, spinal cord and nerves, lower back muscles, abdominal and pelvic internal organs, and the skin around the lumbar area.
•Pain in the upper back may be due to disorders of the aorta, tumors in the chest, and spine inflammation.

💡Causes
•problems with the spine such as osteoporosis
•strained muscles or ligaments
•a muscle spasm
•muscle tension
•damaged disks
•injuries, fractures, or falls
•bad posture

💡Activities that can lead to strains or spasms include:
•lifting something improperly
•lifting something that is too heavy
•making an abrupt and awkward movement
•Structural problems

💡A number of structural problems may also result in back pain.
•Ruptured disks
•Bulging disks
•Sciatica
•Arthritis
•Abnormal curvature of the spine such as scoliosis

💡Movement and posture
Adopting a very hunched sitting position when using computers can result in increased back and shoulder problems over time.
Back pain can also result from some everyday activities or poor posture.
•twisting
•coughing or sneezing
•muscle tension
•over-stretching
•bending awkwardly or for long periods
•pushing, pulling, lifting, or carrying something
•standing or sitting for long periods
•straining the neck forward, such as when driving or using a computer

All about Sciatica!

Sciatica refers to pain that spreads along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. It usually affects one side of your body only, and causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.

Although the pain associated with sciatica can be severe, most cases resolve with non-operative treatments in a few weeks. People who have severe sciatica that's associated with significant leg weakness or bowel or bladder changes might be candidates for surgery.

Symptoms
• Pain that spreads from your lower (lumbar) spine to your buttock and down the back of your leg
• Discomfort almost anywhere along the nerve pathway, often following a path from your low back to your buttock and the back of your thigh and calf

Causes
• Herniated disk
• Bone spurs on spine

Risk factors
• Age
• Obesity.
• Occupation
• Prolonged sitting
• Diabetes

Complications
Seek immediate medical attention if you have:
• Loss of feeling in the affected leg
• Weakness in the affected leg
• Loss of bowel or bladder function

Prevention
The following can play a key role in protecting your back:
• Exercise regularly.
• Maintain proper posture when you sit.
• Use good body mechanics.

What is spondylosis?

Spondylosis is age-related change of the bones (vertebrae) and discs of the spine. These changes are often called degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis. While they don't always cause symptoms, they are a common cause of spine problems that can range from mild to severe.

What causes lumbar spondylosis?

As your body ages, the discs between the bones of the spine become stiffer and can break down. The bones also wear down and can grow bone spurs.
When this condition is in the lower back, it's called lumbar spondylosis.

What are the symptoms?

There are often no symptoms. When there are symptoms, back pain and stiffness are the main ones. They are usually worse in the morning and get better throughout the day.
If bony growths are pushing against a nerve root or the spinal cord, you may have numbness, tingling, weakness, or an aching, shooting pain in your buttock and leg.

How is lumbar spondylosis diagnosed?
• X-rays
• MRI
• CT scan

What Is Low Back Pain?

The low back, also called the lumbar region, is the area of the back that starts below the ribcage. Almost everyone has low back pain at some point in life. It’s one of the top causes of missed work in the U.S. Fortunately, it often gets better on its own. When it doesn't, your doctor may be able to help with several effective treatments.

Symptoms of Low Back Pain:

These might range from a dull ache to a stabbing or shooting sensation. The pain may make it hard to move or stand up straight. Pain that comes on suddenly is “acute.” It might happen during sports or heavy lifting. Pain that lasts more than 3 months is considered “chronic.” If your pain is not better within 72 hours, you should consult a doctor.

Symptoms That Require Urgent Care:

See a health care professional any time you have back pain after a fall or injury. The same goes if you have back pain with bowel or bladder control problems, leg weakness, fever, or pain when coughing or peeing.

Muscle Strain or Sciatica?

Muscle strain is often the cause of back pain from heavy lifting or vigorous exercise. But sometimes it’s due to small jelly-filled disks meant to protect the space between vertebrae. When one of these disks bulges or breaks, it can push on a nerve. When it’s the sciatic nerve, pain runs from the buttock down one leg. This is sciatica.

Back Pain Culprit:
•Your Job ( improper posture)
•Your Bag (heavy)
•Your Workout (improper)
•Herniated Disk
•Chronic Conditions (stenosis etc.)

Who's at Risk for Low Back Pain?

Most people experience back pain first when they're in their 30s. The odds of additional attacks increase with age. Other reasons your low back may hurt include:

Being overweight
Being sedentary
Lifting heavy stuff on the job

Diagnosing Low Back Pain:

To help your doctor diagnose the source of low back pain, be specific in describing the type of pain, when it started, related symptoms, and any history of chronic conditions. Your doctor will probably not need to order X-rays, CT or MRI scans before starting treatment.

Home Care for Low Back Pain:

Back pain due to muscle strain will usually get better on its own, but you can take steps to make yourself more comfortable. A heating pad or warm baths may provide temporary pain relief.

The Bed Rest Debate:

When your back hurts, you may not feel like getting out of bed. But if the problem is muscle strain, doctors recommend returning to your normal activities as soon as possible. Studies suggest that any more than a day or two of bed rest can actually make the pain worse and may reduce muscle tone and flexibility.

Management:

1. Physical Therapy:
•TENS
•Ultrasound
•Stretching
•Spinal Manipulation
•Massage Therapy
•Dry Needling/Acupuncture
•Strengthening the Back Muscles

2. Medication
3. Surgery

Preventing Low Back Pain:

There's no sure way to prevent back pain as you age, but there are steps you can take to lower your risk:

Stay at a healthy weight.
Exercise regularly.
Lift with your legs, not your back.
Make sure your work station position isn't contributing to your pain.
