Knee pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints today. If you are among those who have trouble getting going in the morning, wince when climbing stairs, or suffer pain after a longer walk, you should know: you are not alone — and more importantly, there is a solution.

In this article you will learn the most common causes of knee pain, and even more importantly: the modern, at-home therapeutic options that allow you to actively participate in your own recovery. Because modern thinking holds that treatment should not stop at the clinic door.

This piece was inspired by a reaction to one of my Facebook posts. I recommended a device to eliminate incontinence, and a lady angrily remarked: “It costs 35 thousand forints! Good thing you can buy diapers!”. But is she right? Is that really expensive? Let's take a look.

TENS means nerve stimulation through the skin. The nerve pathways that transmit pain signals to the brain can be stimulated through the skin with electrical impulses, and with continued stimulation the nerve fibers eventually “tire out” and the transmission of the pain signal is interrupted — this is how pain-free status can be achieved.

Do you feel pain deep in your buttock muscles? Consider the possibility of Piriformis syndrome. The piriformis muscle compresses the nearby sciatic nerve, resulting in sciatic nerve inflammation and pain. The piriformis is a flat, band-like muscle beneath the gluteal muscles, "deep" in the buttock, at about the level of the top of the hip bone. Its symptoms can be confused with a number of spinal conditions (for example sciatica), and therefore you often may not receive the most appropriate treatment.

Stroke is a common and serious condition. Although immediate mortality is high, thanks to modern life-saving interventions there are now more survivors. However, survivors often face residual symptoms such as paralysis, speech problems, and difficulties with self-care. Very few are lucky enough to escape without any loss of function. Effective rehabilitation after stroke is essential. You must understand that recovery is a slow process — it can take years to "reclaim" a lost function. In our country the rehabilitation system is far from ideal, so you will mostly depend on yourself and your family. The biggest problems are lack of information and losing your motivation early and giving up continuous practice.

The rheumatoid arthritis (shortly RA or rheumatism) — that is, chronic polyarthritis — is one of the most severe forms of rheumatologic diseases and is accompanied by intense pain. In Hungary roughly 80–100 thousand people struggle with RA symptoms. Although in a smaller portion of cases it may even regress spontaneously, for the majority of patients the condition tends to slowly and continuously worsen over time. What causes […]

Recently I increasingly hear and read online appeals like “fat is beautiful, don't worry about it.” Groups form under slogans like “I accept that I'm fat.” In my opinion those who apply this to themselves are on the wrong track, because they don't take into account the consequences for their lives. That by age 45–50 obesity will make them sick and that they will live their last one or two decades suffering from avoidable diseases and within the limits imposed by illness. I will explain how.

You may hear the term selective stimulation current from doctors and physiotherapists. It is a form of muscle stimulation (EMS) treatment used for muscles whose motor nerve has been damaged (denervated), making voluntary movement impossible or only partially possible (peripheral paralysis). Selective stimulation current targets only the affected muscle and causes it to contract (hence the term “selective”). Here are the basic facts.

Tenosynovitis most often develops from the prolonged repetition of an otherwise harmless movement. "Campaign" cleaning, window washing, typing, even using the mouse during computer games, and spring/autumn gardening (raking, digging, pruning, hoeing), etc. can all be triggers. The result may be pain that hinders movement. Let's look at what you can do to reduce the pain and eliminate the inflammation […]

In my blog I write about countless topics. About devices and their applicability to diseases. Now I have a slightly different offer. You can receive health-related tips by email.

Tenosynovitis appears as unpleasant pain around the wrist. It typically develops as a result of manual tasks that require heavy use of the hands. It often arises from prolonged typing, all-day mouse use, rearranging warehouse shelves, or reorganizing filing cabinets. Monotonous and strenuous work overloads the tendons around the wrist, causing inflammation that makes even the smallest movements painful. About the tendons, the tendon sheath […]
