🧠 Cervical myelopathy is spinal cord compression in the neck that affects strength, coordination, and balance.

It’s most often caused by age-related changes like disc herniation, bone spurs, or thickened ligaments that narrow the spinal canal.

Common signs include hand clumsiness, difficulty with buttons or writing, changes in walking, leg stiffness, or worsening balance. Because it’s typically progressive, early recognition is key.

👉🏼Keep this for later, symptoms are easy to miss.

Your muscles have an emergency heat hack: shivering.

When your core temperature drops, the hypothalamus triggers rapid, tiny muscle contractions that can boost heat production by up to 4–5×. It’s one of the body’s fastest ways to generate warmth when other temperature-control systems aren’t enough. These involuntary contractions burn energy quickly, which is why shivering can make you feel drained after prolonged exposure to cold. It also works alongside other protective responses, like narrowing blood vessels to conserve heat in your core.

Tag someone who’s always freezing! 🥶

🦵 Lateral hip pain that worsens when you lie on your side or climb stairs? It could be trochanteric bursitis.

This condition occurs when the bursa — a small, fluid-filled sac near the hip joint — becomes irritated or inflamed, often from overuse, imbalance, or direct pressure.

Not every plan goes as expected 👉🏼 what matters is how you respond. Acknowledge where you are, then make the shifts that move you forward.

Save this as a reminder to stay flexible. ✨

🦾 Robotic precision begins with accurate tracking.

The reflective marker array is secured to the patient’s tibia during a Mako-assisted total knee arthroplasty. These markers allow the robotic system to register the limb in 3D space, track motion in real time, and guide bone preparation with sub-millimeter accuracy.

By knowing exactly where the instruments and anatomy are throughout the procedure, surgeons can align components more precisely and tailor the knee replacement to each patient’s unique anatomy.

Consistent stretching does more than improve flexibility…it can actually change how your body processes pain.

A 2024 study found that six weeks of daily hamstring stretching led to:

💪🏼36% higher local pain thresholds

💪🏼19% higher widespread pain thresholds

💪🏼Slight gains in range of motion

Even more compelling: these pain-reducing effects remained four weeks after stopping the routine.

For patients with nociceptive, nociplastic, or neuropathic pain, this adds to the evidence that simple, consistent stretching can meaningfully support rehab and pain modulation.

What type of stretching is already part of your pain-care routine?👇🏽

Always check with a qualified clinician before starting a new exercise program.

What a cervical X-ray can reveal 🩻

This lateral view shows the bones of the neck stacked with discs in between 👉🏼 those discs act as the spine’s shock absorbers and help maintain space for the nerves exiting the cervical spine.

At C5–6 and C6–7, the disc spaces appear noticeably thinner compared to the levels above. When a disc loses height, the space around the nerve roots can narrow, which often contributes to neck pain or symptoms traveling down the arm.

The two thin vertical lines visible in the image are radiographic markers used to confirm the correct levels before surgery begins. They sit outside the body and help guide surgeon orientation during the procedure.

While this view doesn’t show the nerve openings directly, the loss of disc height alone is a key sign of degeneration affecting these levels.

The gastrocnemius is the most superficial calf muscle and plays a central role in plantarflexion and propulsion during walking, running, and jumping. 🦵🏽

It has two heads, medial and lateral, originating above the knee and merging into the Achilles tendon. Because it crosses both the knee and ankle joints, it’s prone to strains, tightness, and overuse-related discomfort, especially in activities requiring rapid push-off.

Strengthening and mobility work help maintain efficiency through the lower leg and reduce injury risk.

Drop a comment if you see gastroc tightness often.👇🏽
