Whats is Muscle Strain?

Muscle strains are tears to the fibers of muscles and tendons. A tear can occur at any part of a muscle or tendon. A tendon is a fibrous tissue that connects a muscle to a bone. The most common area to strain is at the junction where the muscle and tendon come together. The image above shows areas of the body where muscle strains can occur. The low back are is the most common strained muscles. Other common strains are your hamstring, quad, bicep, triceps, abdominal, pectoralis, calf and trap muscles.

Common muscles that get strained are the:
✅Hamstrings
✅Low back muscles
✅Neck muscles
✅Hip Flexors
✅Hip Adductors
✅Calf muscles (Gastrocnemius and Soleus)

How Do You Know if You have a Strained Muscle or Tendon?
A strained muscle or tendon usually causes some pain. The pain may be mild or it may be severe, depending on the severity of the strain. If the strain comes from trauma the pain may be instant. In mild cases, the pain of a strain may occur later or after an activity.

It is important to recognize the difference between pain and soreness in a muscle. After a tough workout or long run, it is typical to have soreness. Sometimes, the soreness will occur a couple of days after the activity. This is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or "DOMS". DOMS can be very uncomfortable but it should resolve in a few days.

Sharp pain, deep ache, or loss of strength or control of a muscle are not typical symptoms of DOMS. These symptoms may indicate a strain.

Treatment may include:
✅Soft tissue manipulation
✅Graston Therapy
✅Ultrasound
✅Laser Therapy
✅Stretching
✅Strength training
✅Return to Sport Training

If the Strain is severe, or there is a loss of muscle control, an Orthopedic Surgeon may order an MRI to determine whether a surgical repair is needed. This is rare though. Most muscles strains respond very quickly to physical therapy. However, it is important to not return to quickly to a sport to prevent a reinjury.

Watch this Video Explaining Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition that affects the hand and wrist. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from your forearm into the palm of your hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. The median nerve controls sensations to the palm side of the thumb and fingers (excluding the pinky finger) and controls some muscles in the hand.

BACK PAIN SYMPTOMS & CAUSES

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help or miss work. Back pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide.

Fortunately, measures can help prevent or relieve most back pain episodes, especially for people younger than age 60. If prevention fails, simple home treatment and using the body correctly often will heal the back within a few weeks. Surgery is rarely needed to treat back pain.

Symptoms of Back Pain
Back pain can range from local pain in a specific spot to generalized pain spreading all over the back. Sometimes the pain radiates away from the back to other areas of your body, such as the buttocks, legs, or abdomen. The intensity of back pain varies for each person. Depending on the type, causes, and location of your back pain, you may experience:

✅ Increasing pain with lifting and bending.
✅ Worsening pain when resting, sitting, or standing.
✅ Back pain that comes and goes.
✅ Stiffness in the morning when awakening and lessened back pain with activity.
✅ Pain that radiates away from the back into the buttocks, leg, or hip.
✅ Numbness or weakness in your legs or feet.

Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can be caused by many different factors, which may all be present at the same time and interact to result in chronic low back pain. These could include mechanical or structural problems with the spine, inflammatory conditions, and other medical conditions. It is also possible that no specific cause can be identified for the start of back pain.

FACIAL EXERCISE FOR BELL'S PALSY

Bell’s palsy is when one side of the face becomes paralyzed. Movement of the eye, forehead, nose, and lips may be difficult if not impossible. However, along with medical treatment, physical therapy can help restore movement to the paralyzed face, just like physical therapy can help restore arm and leg movement for somebody who has suffered a stroke.

When there is no movement present at all, the following exercises are helpful in attempting to reinitiate some movement. It is important to focus on the effort or quality of the movement rather than the quantity of movement. The quality of effort is to really focus and concentrate HARD on trying to get the paralyzed side moving symmetrically with the normal side.

All exercises to be performed twice a day, 5-10 repetitions each time. And perform these in front of the mirror so you can visually monitor your efforts! The visual feedback is important!

What is Bell's palsy?

Bell’s palsy is an unexplained episode of facial muscle weakness or even complete paralysis. It typically occurs suddenly on just one side due to facial nerve injury from some type of inflammatory assault or viral infection.

WHAT IS BELL'S PALSY

Bell's palsy is a neurological disorder that causes paralysis or weakness on one side of the face. One of the nerves that controls muscles in your face becomes injured or stops working properly.

Symptoms include:

Sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of your face
A drooping eyebrow and mouth
Drooling from one side of your mouth
Difficulty closing an eyelid, which causes eye dryness
Most often these symptoms lead to significant facial distortions.

People living with Bell's palsy may also develop:
✅ Facial pain or abnormal sensations
✅ Excessive tearing in one eye
✅ Problems with taste
✅ Low tolerance for loud noises
✅ Pain around the jaw and behind the ear
✅ Problems eating or drinking

Symptoms appear suddenly over a 48- to 72-hour period and generally start to improve with or without treatment after a few weeks. They vary from person to person and can be mild to severe. Usually, you will recover some or all facial function within a few weeks to six months. Sometimes the facial weakness may last longer or be permanent.

Bell's palsy is the most common cause of facial paralysis, although its exact cause is unknown. It results from dysfunction of cranial nerve VII, which connects your brain to the muscles that control facial expression (the nerve also is involved with taste and ear sensation). In rare cases, Bell's palsy can affect both sides of your face.

Who is more likely to get Bell's palsy?
Bell's palsy can affect anyone of any gender and age but seems to be highest in those in people 15 to 45 years old. Risk factors for Bell's palsy include pregnancy, preeclampsia, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and upper respiratory ailments.

Possible triggers of Bell's palsy may include:

An existing (dormant) viral infection
Impaired immunity from stress, sleep deprivation, physical trauma, minor illness, or autoimmune syndromes
Infection of a facial nerve and resulting inflammation
Damage to the myelin sheath (fatty covering that insulates nerve fibers)

PRP: PLATELET-RICH PLASMA
The Effective Way to Heal Osteoasrthritis
SAFE • EFFECTIVE • NO SURGERY

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
In recent years, doctors have learned that the body has the ability to heal itself. Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that can harness those abilities and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue.

What is plasma and what are platelets?
Plasma is the liquid portion of whole blood. It is composed largely of water and proteins, and it provides a medium for red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to circulate through the body. Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are blood cells that cause blood clots and other necessary growth healing functions.

Platelet activation plays a key role in the body's natural healing process.

What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and what are PRP injections?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient's own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.

PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your injured or diseased body tissue. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces.

Ultrasound imaging is sometimes used to guide the injection. The photographs below illustrate a PRP injection into a patient's torn tendon. The ultrasound guidance is shown at left and the injection is shown at right.

PRP Injection ultrasound and photograph of needle injecting patient's platelets into a tendon tear.

Platelet-rich plasma has been found to significantly enhance the healing process, and using a PRP injection for shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff tears, for Achilles tendon ruptures and for other soft-tissue injuries is becoming more common.

PRP has also been demonstrated to improve function and reduce pain in people who have tendonitis or chronic tendinosis conditions such as tennis elbow or golfer's elbow.

Some of the key advantages of PRP injections are that they can reduce the need for anti-inflammatories or stronger medications like opioids. In addition, the side effects of PRP injections are very limited because, since the injections are created from your own blood, your body will not reject or react negatively to them.
