A ganglion cyst is a lump that appears on the hand or foot and is often painful. Despite its alarming appearance, it is usually nothing to fear because it is benign. Due to the symptoms and the disturbing appearance, patients most often choose removal surgery. Postoperative rehabilitation plays a key role in restoring movement. I write now about the important things you should know.
With the spread of technology, health problems that were previously rare are appearing and can make your everyday life quite miserable. Lately a characteristically curved back is increasingly noticeable among young people. The condition even has a name: "tech‑back." English speakers know how catchy that name is; in Hungarian you might call it a programmer's back or an administrator's back. The phenomenon is caused by poor workplace posture, constant computer use and fiddling with mobile phones, and the complaints it causes can be very unpleasant.
Consuming a plant-based diet reduces the risk of stroke – determined by a study you can read by clicking here. According to it, people following a vegetarian diet rich in nuts, vegetables and soy have a significantly lower stroke risk than those who follow diets that include meat and fish.
One of the most common diseases of the knee joint is osteoarthritis (also called joint cartilage wear). The symptoms develop slowly and pain can torment you for years or decades. Because this is a degenerative condition, hospitals cannot do much for you. However, your doctor may recommend home physiotherapy devices. Heat therapy, TENS treatment, microcurrent, therapeutic ultrasond, magnetic therapy and softlaser treatment can help in different stages of osteoarthritis and in different ways.
If you want to see clearly among the millions of diets, nutritional systems and recommendations today, you really have to "roll up your sleeves." Mediterranean, DASH, Keto, blood type, carbohydrate-free, juice fasting, South Beach, paleo, flexitarian, vegetarian and vegan — and who knows how many other diets exist. On top of that, almost every fitness model, celebrity, etc. has some personal version of a nutritional "idea." Which one is right? Who knows. And of course I believe in my own! 🙂
New restrictions have been reintroduced because of the second wave of COVID-19. More and more people are losing patience and consider the measures excessive or unnecessary. Do we really need these measures or are politicians just stirring the s…?- many ask. Although I do not answer that exact question, my writing may help to "clear" the picture.
ETS is a modern and effective electrotherapy treatment method. It is primarily used to recover lost functions. Examples include improving or eliminating incontinence and relearning movement after paralysis caused by stroke.
Meat lovers received bad news a few years ago; now it is the turn of cheese lovers. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), arguing that despite medical evidence the agency has not declared cheeses to be products hazardous to health.
Female urinary incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine) is often caused by bladder prolapse or uterine prolapse. The bladder or uterus is displaced from its normal position, descends downward and presses on the pelvic floor muscles. This can cause a constant uncomfortable sensation, make sexual intercourse painful, and disrupt urinary and bowel continence. Its treatment is much more difficult than that of “simple” incontinence.
The term biofeedback refers to the detection of biological processes using technical equipment. Here I present one such device. The SineBravo is an electromyography (EMG)-based biofeedback device. It measures the electrical potential changes (EMG) that occur during muscle contractions and converts them into visible and/or audible signals. It can detect a muscle contraction even when the contraction is so slight that it is not visible. The SineBravo is not a diagnostic EMG, but a two-channel biofeedback device that, by continuously monitoring muscle activity, provides substantial help in performing rehabilitation exercises.
Microcurrent (MCR) therapy is a form of electrotherapy. Its main uses are pain relief and treating joint or tendon inflammation. It is also suitable for a range of other issues; you can read about those here. Now I will show what is needed for microcurrent treatment and how to perform it.
