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.
Are you interested in the latest in medical technology or would you like to "look behind the scenes"? Learn more about what healing is and what actually heals? On what basis does a doctor make decisions? If so, this will be interesting for you!
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 […]
The EMS, or electrical muscle stimulation method has been used for decades in athlete preparation… well… NOT in our country. Why is that? In my firm opinion the reason is simple: lack of language skills. Because most Hungarians do not know any foreign language, they do not read international literature, cannot keep up with world trends, and remain stuck in the familiar. The majority still firmly believe that training equals: “train a lot and eat lots of grilled chicken with rice.” They have no clue about most of the modern, drug-free possibilities offered by technology — as evidenced by the reactions to my articles. Knowledge is, to put it mildly, patchy about what a muscle stimulator is for, how it works, and how to use it. Let’s look at the basic info…
Muscle stimulation (EMS) is an electrotherapy procedure that can be applied to treat muscles. Depending on the settings of the electrical impulse, its effects can include improving blood circulation, regaining muscle strength, increasing muscle mass, halting atrophy, relieving stiffness and spasms, etc. Let’s look at the basics.
The ankle joint is a complex network of bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles. It is strong enough to support the weight of your body and allows movement. Nevertheless, it is prone to injury and the development of ankle pain. You can feel ankle pain both inside and outside the ankle. It may also occur along the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. Although ankle pain most often responds well to home treatments, completely eliminating it can take time.
