Disease and Its Symptoms

Strange as it may seem at first, the skeletal system that forms the framework of our body is not a fixed structure. It continuously changes and remodels depending on the load. By the age of 30–35 a person's bones reach their maximum mass. After that, bone resorption gradually increases. This is a natural process; however, if bone loss is greater than normal, osteoporosis develops. This disease affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide […]

Neck pain troubles many people day after day. There is a very simple method to treat neck pain at home: muscle stimulation. Simple and effective! In this article you can learn about treatment with a muscle stimulator.   What causes neck pain? Nowadays neck pain is most often a "civilization ailment." "I slept awkwardly on my neck." A common problem is waking up with one-sided neck pain in the morning […]

FoamRoller = foam roller. This is a simple and very useful muscle-treatment tool for patients and athletes. It is excellent for relieving muscle pain and for releasing and loosening stiff, adhered muscles. You can also use it for stretching, warming up, and improving muscle recovery. The biggest advantage of the foam roller is that it provides many of the benefits of physiotherapy and massage at the same time. At the same time, a foam roller is cheaper than a single physiotherapy session or massage and […]

Among musculoskeletal disorders, hip conditions are not confined to old age. Hip pain is a common complaint that can be caused by many different problems. Precisely locating the hip pain can provide valuable clues to the underlying cause. Problems arising within the hip joint itself typically cause pain deep in the hip or in the groin. Sharp pain on the outside of the hip, the upper thigh, or the outer buttock usually suggests problems with the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues surrounding the hip joint […]

Burning foot syndrome typically causes symptoms that worsen at night. Affected people usually describe a burning, pins-and-needles type pain, most commonly located on the sole, around the ankle and sometimes on the lower leg. Although there may be no visible signs on the feet, the agonizing pain can make it impossible to sleep. Sleepless nights and days filled with suffering significantly reduce your quality of life. […]

Shoulder pain refers to sensitivity in and around the shoulder joint. The shoulder is not a single joint but a group of joints held and connected by tendons and muscles. This arrangement allows the arms a wide range of motion. While this mobility is an advantage, it also brings a vulnerability: because of its structure the shoulder can become unstable. In addition, painful conditions can develop due to impingement between soft tissues and bones […]

The foot is a complex structure of bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles, containing 26 bones and 33 joints. It is strong enough to bear the entire body's weight. Because of its complexity, however, it is prone to injuries and pain. This can be caused by a condition affecting the whole body or by a problem local to the foot. Any part of the foot can be affected, from the toes to the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel.

From time to time almost everyone reaches a point of exhaustion or burnout. These cases of temporary tiredness usually have an identifiable cause and an expected remedy. However, when the exhaustion is persistent, it lasts longer, is more profound and is not relieved by rest. It becomes an almost constant state of fatigue which, once established and become a constant companion, reduces energy, motivation and concentration. Such a level of fatigue affects emotional and psychological well-being and therefore is a clear source of danger. Medically, the concept of fatigue is hard to define because the sensation itself is subjective and everyone experiences it differently. In general, the most common cause is lack of sleep. If fatigue becomes persistent and you feel you never really get rested, see a doctor as soon as possible!

Few things are more frightening than the feeling that you cannot breathe. Even healthy people may experience shortness of breath after very strenuous exercise, in extreme temperatures, with obesity, or at high altitude. Outside of these situations, however, labored breathing is likely a sign of a medical problem. Shortness of breath — medically called dyspnea — is most often described by patients as a strong chest tightness, air hunger, breathing difficulty, or a choking sensation.

Heel pain most often occurs at the bottom or back of the heel. Although it rarely indicates a serious disease, it can interfere with everyday activities—particularly making physical activity difficult. The foot (from below the ankle to the toes) is made up of 26 bones, the largest of which is the heel bone. The heel's job is to provide a stable support for the body's weight, which is why our heel is subjected to significant impact with every step. This area is more vulnerable, and pain here significantly affects mobility. Heel pain is one of the most common complaints affecting the foot.

Ear ringing (tinnitus) is usually an unpleasant phenomenon occurring in older age and affects a significant portion of people over 60. Possible ways to eliminate the condition are continuously researched. Technological development makes it possible to use devices at the comfort of your home that did not exist a few years ago. One example is the softlaser. In recent years several studies and clinical case reports from Austria, Germany and Denmark have proven the effectiveness of laser treatment for tinnitus. In more than 50% of treated patients it improved symptoms. Success is mainly expected in cases where tinnitus can be traced back to atherosclerosis or deterioration of the inner ear circulation.

You've almost certainly experienced tight or aching muscles. Muscle pain may affect a small muscle (for example the sternocleidomastoid in a stiff neck) but it can also involve the whole body. Its intensity ranges from mild to excruciating. A large portion of muscle pain resolves on its own within a short time, but sometimes you may feel it for months. “There can be a thousand causes,” one might say. Here I list the most common ones (presented in alphabetical order).
