Bell's Palsy - Treatment
Bell's palsy is a neurological disorder that affects the facial nerve (VII cranial nerve), which controls the muscles of the face. This condition causes weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face. Patients with this diagnosis cannot furrow their brow, close their eye, or move the part of the face affected by the paralysis. Additionally, there is often a drooping of the corner of the mouth on the affected side, further highlighting the asymmetry. Along with these primary symptoms, patients frequently experience insufficient tear production, which can lead to burning or dryness of the eye. There may also be disturbances in taste sensation and uncomfortable noise or ringing in the ear. This type of facial paralysis, encompassing these symptoms, is known as Bell's palsy.
Shoulder pain
The shoulder is a complex joint that connects the upper arm to the shoulder blade and enables a wide range of arm movements. Due to its structure, the shoulder is often susceptible to injuries and various diseases, which can cause pain and reduced functionality.
Morton's neuroma
Morton's neuroma is a painful condition that affects the foot, specifically the area between the third and fourth toes. This disease occurs when the tissue around one of the nerves in the foot thickens, which can lead to pain, tingling and discomfort in the front of the foot. Although this condition is not life-threatening, it can significantly affect the quality of life and the ability to perform daily activities. Understanding the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for Morton's neuroma is key to timely intervention and alleviation of symptoms.
Pain in the neck
Neck pain is a common problem that can significantly affect the quality of life. Whether it's caused by prolonged sitting, poor posture, stress or injury, this problem can be debilitating and frustrating. Although neck pain can occur at any age, more and more people, especially those who spend a lot of time in front of a computer, are experiencing these symptoms. Understanding the cause and treatment options can help prevent and relieve pain, allowing you to return to your daily activities without disruption.
Luxatio - dislocation of the acroclavicular joint
Luxatio, or dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint, is an injury that occurs when the collar bone (clavicle) separates from the acromion, part of the scapula. This joint is extremely important because it connects the arm to the trunk, and injuries to this joint are often painful and can significantly limit shoulder mobility. Although they are most often associated with sports activities or falls, they can also occur in everyday situations.
Pain in the elbow
Elbow pain is a common problem that can significantly affect daily activities, from doing household chores to sports and work activities. The elbow is a complex joint that connects the upper arm to the forearm, allowing movements such as bending, straightening and rotation of the forearm. Because of its role in almost all arm movements, elbow pain can be very uncomfortable and limiting.
Tennis elbow - treatment
Tennis elbow, also known as lateral epicondylitis, is a condition that causes pain and tenderness on the outside of the elbow. This pain usually occurs due to overuse of the muscles and tendons in the forearm and around the elbow joint. Although the name "tennis elbow" is often associated with sports, the condition can affect anyone who frequently uses the muscles of the forearm, such as painters, plumbers and carpenters.
Pain in the back
Back pain is a problem that affects almost everyone at some point in their lives. The causes can be different, but statistics show that one of the most common problems is the "popping out" of an intervertebral disc, better known as a herniated disc. A herniated disc is a common medical problem that can cause back pain. The symptoms of a herniated disc are often similar to "ordinary" back pain, making it difficult to recognize the problem. That is why it is important to consult a specialist as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis and adequate treatment. A herniated disc occurs when there is an altered state of the intervertebral disc - a small "cushion" located between the vertebrae of the spinal column.
Pain in the spine
Back pain is one of the most common health problems people face, and it can have a serious impact on quality of life. Regardless of the cause, whether it's poor posture, injuries, degenerative changes, or other factors, back pain can significantly limit your ability to perform daily activities and reduce your mobility. The spine, which is a key structure supporting the entire body and enabling its mobility, can be affected by various issues. While some cases of back pain may result from acute injuries or overexertion, others may arise from chronic degenerative changes or structural abnormalities. Understanding the causes and symptoms of back pain is crucial for proper treatment and recovery.
Heel spur
Pain in the heel occurs as a result of excessive straining of the foot after prolonged walking, standing, intensive physical activities) wearing uncomfortable shoes (ballet shoes, flat shoes) or as a result of microinjuries and chronic inflammation of the plantar fascia.
Sciatica
Sciatica or sciatica is a condition that refers to pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the human body. The sciatic nerve starts in the lower back, runs through the hips and buttocks, and then runs down each leg. Irritation of this nerve can cause pain that extends from the lower back, through the buttocks, all the way down the leg, and sometimes all the way to the foot. Sciatica is not an independent disease, but a symptom that indicates a problem in the lumbar spine, such as disc herniation, degenerative changes in the spinal vertebrae or narrowing of the spinal canal. This pain can vary from mild and occasional symptoms to severe pain that significantly affects daily life.
