Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
Osteoarthritis causes cartilage — the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint — to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints.
Treatments vary depending on the type of arthritis. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Cervical traction devices lightly stretch the neck to reduce pressure on the spine by pulling or separating the vertebrae. It’s said to be both highly effective and fast-acting. Read on to learn more about this technique and how it can be of benefit to you
Trauma is most often associated with a traumatising event or experience, such as wars or accidents or violence, that causes extreme distress – and the effects of that experience can continue to haunt and torment the individual for months and years later.
Causes of complex traumaThe causes of complex trauma, like most mental health conditions, are on a spectrum and range in severity and duration. A person with complex trauma may have been physically or sexually abused by a parent or relative over a number of years. They may have been the victim of sustained domestic violence.
Often complex trauma can develop when the person felt overwhelmed, frozen with fear, and unable to escape – and this happened on a regular basis.The causes of complex trauma can also be subtle. It could be that the child wasn’t given attention because the parents were busy or emotionally unavailable.
Paediatric limb deformity and limb length issues truly represent the differences of paediatric orthopaedics from its adult counterpart. To understand paediatric deformity and limb length issues requires the understanding of growth and development of children’s bones. To help sort out this broad topic, it helps to break down the deformity and limb length issues into their most common causes.
Congenital: there are certain types of abnormalities that a child may be born with leading to different limb lengths.
Trauma: if a child breaks a bone through a growing centre (physics), he/she may be at risk for a limb length difference.
Infection: If a child suffers an infection in a bone or joint, especially when he/she is very young, there is a chance that the growth area itself may become damaged and may not grow properly, or the body’s reaction to the infection can cause the bone to overgrow and become longer than the other side.
