Disease and Its Symptoms
If you are affected by COPD (also known as chronic obstructive bronchitis), you have probably experienced how much this disease can complicate your everyday life. Breathing difficulties, frequent coughing and mucus production are all symptoms that can significantly affect your quality of life. In this article you can learn how salt therapy can help alleviate these symptoms and why it can be a valuable complement to your conventional medical treatment.
Lymphedema, also known as lymphatic edema, is a chronic condition that can significantly affect your quality of life. In your body, lymphatic vessels are responsible for removing fluid and dissolved waste products from tissues outside the blood vessels. If this system is damaged or malfunctions somewhere, fluid accumulates in the tissues – much like a clogged pipe – and this buildup causes the uncomfortable symptoms we call lymphedema.
Lymphedema affects many thousands of people in our country today. Most do not receive adequate treatment and are not even informed about what causes their condition, whether it can be eliminated, or what they need to do for their own sake. Below I briefly summarize the most important facts.
Many people suffer from the symptoms of abnormal sweating (medically known as hyperhidrosis). Without any particular trigger — such as high heat or stress — sweat can seem to "pour off" them. If you are affected, you may struggle a lot with this problem. You can try a range of cosmetics, medications, recently even botox treatments, or you might undergo surgery. However, these methods truly work for only a few. Nowadays tap water iontophoresis is being "rediscovered." It has been used for nearly 50 years, but only in recent years have the devices become truly effective. So much so that in the most recent studies more than 90% of treated patients report beneficial effects. Let's examine the method more closely.
Arthritis, that is joint inflammation, is one of the most common musculoskeletal diseases. The term “arthritis” is a “collective category” that includes more than 100 different conditions. The best known are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but it also includes gouty and psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and even fibromyalgia. Nowadays soft laser represents one of the most effective physiotherapy methods to alleviate symptoms.
Peroneal nerve palsy can result from damage to either the central or peripheral nervous system, although peripheral causes are more frequent. The condition primarily affects the common peroneal nerve, which branches from the sciatic nerve and runs around the fibular head, making it particularly vulnerable due to its superficial location and anatomical course.
Pelvic floor exercises, also known as pelvic floor training, are a special set of exercises developed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and preserve their flexibility. These muscles support the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum) in the correct position and play an important role in urination, defecation and sexual functions. When these muscles weaken or get injured, various problems can occur that can be effectively treated with pelvic floor exercises.
An inguinal hernia develops when part of the abdominal organs, most often the intestines or a portion of the omentum, protrudes through the inguinal canal. The inguinal canal is located in the lower, lateral part of the abdomen. The hernia gate is the opening through which the hernia contents protrude. This usually occurs congenitally or with increasing age, or as a result of physical strain. Inguinal hernia symptoms and […]
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that can affect everyday life. It is a complex health issue that primarily involves the muscles and connective tissues. You may experience widespread pain, fatigue and many other symptoms. This is a real, physical condition—not an imagined illness—even if medical tests often fail to show a clear physical abnormality.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common musculoskeletal condition today that can significantly affect daily life and work. It occurs because the nerve running through an anatomical tunnel in the wrist becomes compressed. The so-called carpal tunnel houses the median nerve (nervus medianus), bordered by muscles, ligaments and bones. When inflammation or swelling develops in this tight space, the nerve is compressed, causing various symptoms in the affected areas.
When we talk about pain, it's important to use the right words. In medical jargon you often see the term “chronic,” but that can be misleading. “Chronic” may imply that your pain will last forever, which usually isn't the case. Even healthcare professionals don't always agree on its precise meaning – is pain chronic after three months? Or does it require six months? For this reason it's better to use the terms “persistent” or “peristent” (persistent is preferable). These describe your situation more accurately: your pain has been present for a longer time, but that doesn't mean it must remain so forever.
If you have been diagnosed with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), you probably have many questions. In this article you will find almost all the important information about the disease, its symptoms and treatment options. What is FSHD muscular dystrophy? Facioscapulohumeral (FSHD) muscular dystrophy is an inherited muscle disease that primarily affects the muscles of your face, shoulder and upper arm. The disease […]
