WHAT IS SCIATICA?

Sciatica refers to the pain and discomfort caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve. This nerve is the longest nerve in the body, running from the lower back and pelvis, through the hip and gluteous maximus area, down to the back of each leg. It controls many of the muscles in these areas. It often starts with a herniated or slipped disc in the spine that causes pain by pressing on the sciatic nerve. There are other causes, however, including obesity, poor posture, tumour, abscess, blood clot, poor sitting position or nerve disorder. Sciatica is a set of symptoms that may differ depending on what is compressing the nerve root. Pain that radiates down the back of the leg, numbness or tingling that extends down to the foot, a quick jolt each time there is a cough or sneeze—sounds like sciatic nerve pain, right? Well, maybe. For one thing, "sciatica" is actually a symptom, not a condition. It's leg pain (anywhere from the lower hip and gluteous maximus region, all the way down to the toes) resulting from a pinched nerve—most likely because of a herniated or slipped disc. Contrary to popular belief, actual back pain doesn't usually come along with sciatica—or it's a minor part of the overall problem. "If a patient has 80% leg pain and minimal back pain, it really turns on our radar for sciatica

WEAKNESS IN THE KNEES
Well, actually just one knee—and it runs throughout the entire leg. The sciatic nerve—the one that gets pinched and causes sciatica is the largest single nerve in the entire body, running from the lower spine all the way down to the foot. When that nerve is pinched, its function is disrupted, resulting in all kinds of unwanted sensations, such as pain, weakness, and tingling. And while pain is pretty common (and often times hard to diagnose), pain and weakness in a single leg acts like a red flag for doctors. "Patients often drive to the emergency room for pain, but it's really the weakness that's concerning—if a patient is getting weak, they should seek care. If the patient is not training for a marathon or logging hours on the treadmill, there's a good chance the leg pain is sciatica caused by a herniated disc, not the less-common piriformis syndrome, which mainly affects athletes. The thing is that piriformis syndrome presents itself almost exactly like sciatica: pain, tingling, numbness starting in the buttocks and extending down the leg. But instead of a slipped disc causing the issues, the piriformis muscle (found in the butt near the top of the hip joint) is pressing on that touchy nerve.

UNDERSTANDING SCIATICA PAIN
Sometimes the pain one thinks is sciatica isn't actually nerve-induced pain at all, but rather, something muscular. So how does one out? Use the thumb, push around on the muscles in the lower back and find the spots that affect the pain. If pain can be triggered by a push—not a gentle push, exert at least 5 to 10 pounds of pressure—the pain is most likely muscular and the result of a shortened, tightened muscle. When a muscle gets stuck in the shortened position, it gets thicker and doesn't get the blood or nutrients that it needs. And when it is pressed on those tightened muscles, especially on the small, tender knot in the center—it can send pain throughout the body.

TESTING
It's the main test doctors use to diagnose sciatica caused by a slipped disc, and it starts with the patient lying down with the feet stretched out. The examiner then raises the straight leg between 30 and 70 degrees. Pain from this test—the kind that radiates down the entire leg, below the knee, and possibly even down to the toes—indicates sciatica. This is because when the affected leg is stretched, the entire sciatic nerve is stretched. If the nerve root is pinched, then it is felt through the stretching movement.

LOSING CONTROL
We're not talking about getting up a few extra times each night, but rather, totally losing control of the bowel and bladder movements. When paired with the typical sciatica pain, doctors treat this as a "surgical emergency. It's extremely rare, but if the spinal column is putting that much pressure on the nerve, it can lead to permanent damage to bowel and bladder function.

IV vitamin therapy offers several potential benefits including: enhanced nutrient absorption, increased energy levels, immune system support, improved hydration, faster recovery from illness or workouts, and potential relief from chronic conditions and pain.

Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:

Rapid and Efficient Nutrient Absorption:
The primary advantage of IV Therapy lies in its ability to deliver vital nutrients directly, allowing for rapid and efficient absorption. Unlike oral supplements, which must pass through the digestive system and may have reduced absorption rates, IV Therapy ensures that nutrients are immediately available to the body's cells, supporting optimal functioning and overall health.

Boosted Energy Levels:
By replenishing essential vitamins and minerals, IV therapy can combat fatigue and provide a noticeable increase in energy.

Enhanced Hydration:
IV fluids can quickly rehydrate the body, alleviating symptoms of dehydration like fatigue, headache, and dizziness.

Faster Recovery:
IV therapy can aid in replenishing electrolytes, vitamins, and fluids lost during intense physical activity or illness, promoting faster recovery.

Boosting Immune Function:
Therapy can be instrumental in boosting the immune system. Infusing the body with high doses of vitamin C, vitamin B12 and Vitamin B complex, along with and other immune-enhancing nutrients can help strengthen the body's defense mechanisms, making it more resilient against infections, colds, and other illnesses. Regular IV Therapy sessions can be especially beneficial during times of high stress or seasonal changes when the immune system may be compromised..

Anti-Aging and Skin Health
IV Therapy can help contribute to youthful and radiant skin by promoting collagen production and combating oxidative stress. Antioxidant-rich IV Infusions help neutralize free radicals, reducing the visible signs of aging and supporting skin health. The hydrating effects of IV therapy can also promote skin elasticity and a more vibrant complexion.

IV Therapy can also aid in detoxification by assisting the liver and kidneys in removing toxins and waste products from the body. Specific IV formulations designed for detoxification may include antioxidants like glutathione, which supports the body's natural detoxification processes

Mesotheraphy for cellulite:

Mesotherapy is an excellent treatment to rejuvenate, firm, tone and slim different parts of the body. It is also used to help reduce cellulite, to promote weight loss, to treat stretch marks and aging skin and to firm up sagging skin.

BENEFITS OF CELLULITE MESOTHERAPY
Accelerated metabolism of fat cells. Stimulation of fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. Creation of new blood vessels. Improved micro-circulation, Stimulation of skin regeneration , replacement with new cells
Hindered creation of harmful free radicals and proper skin nutrition

Cellulite is a very common skin condition that causes lumpy, dimpled flesh on the thighs, hips, buttocks and abdomen. The condition is most prevalent in women. Medically proven treatments options are available at KSR MEDICAL. Cellulite looks like dimpled or bumpy skin. It's sometimes described as having a cottage cheese or orange peel texture. You can see mild cellulite only if you pinch your skin in an area where you have cellulite, such as your thighs. Cellulite that is more severe makes the skin appear rumpled and bumpy with areas of peaks and valleys. Cellulite is most common around the thighs and buttocks, but it can also be found on the breasts, lower abdomen and upper arms. Cellulite involves fibrous connective cords that tether the skin to the underlying muscle, with the fat lying between. As fat cells accumulate, they push up against the skin, while the long, tough cords pull down. This creates an uneven surface or dimpling. In addition, hormonal factors play a large role in the development of cellulite, and genetics determine skin structure, skin texture and body type. Other factors, such as weight and muscle tone affect whether you have cellulite, though even very fit people can have it.

Mesotheraphy delivers medications just below the skin surface. Mesotherapy is injected only where it is needed. Mesotherapy targets fat and connective tissues under the skin. Mesotherapy greatly improves cellulite and stubborn fat pads like the love handles, baby belly, saddlebags, and thighs, amongst others.

KSR Doctors create a Mesotherapy formula to treat the fat in the cellulite, the impaired circulation and to treat the bad connective tissue therefore smoothing out the skin surface. Mesotherapy can target specific areas or spots where your body stores excessive fat. KSR Mesotherapy formulas are injected in a specific area, blocks the cells from storing fat and helps break the existing fat cells down. After Mesotherapy your body then naturally flushes out the broken-down fat.

At KSR MEDICAL our Dermatologists and Surgeon will help you understand what is right for you. For further information or to book an appointment with one of KSR Doctors whatsapp or call our medical representatives at 740-3497/ 740-3517

Regenerative Medicine: PRP

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) – Using a patient's own blood, KSR Doctors are able to isolate and concentrate your platelets that are then injected back into the injured area. Since PRP uses the patient's own blood, patients do not have a reaction to it. Essentially the Doctors are just isolating a part of the blood, which is already flowing through the body, and injecting it directly into the areas requiring therapy. There are no medications, or external elements added to the blood/plasma before it is re-injected into the body, therefore a patient shouldn’t see any side effects from PRP therapy other than some stinging upon injection and mild tenderness for about 24 hours, simply from the injections.

Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is a very advanced scientific procedure for treating hair conditions like male patterned baldness, receding hairline in both men and women, thinning of hair, alopecia, excessive or premature hair loss. This is a method that has witnessed a good success rate around the world and it results in natural hair regrowth.

In this method plasma that is rich in platelets is injected directly into the scalp. Platelets are known to promote regeneration and growth of cells. In PRP, the platelet count is around five times more than it is normally in blood. Hence, this therapy stimulates cell regeneration naturally, leading to the stimulation of hair growth. Platelet Rich Plasma has 8 different growth factors. When activated and applied, they stimulate growth, healing, regeneration, depending on where and how the PRP is used.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF PRP

PRP can stimulate or speed up the healing process, shortening healing time for injuries, decreasing pain in sports injuries, piriformis syndrome, osteoarthritis etc

PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production which thickens and tightens thinning skin, effectively smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. Because it boosts collagen, it’s also a great treatment for improving overall skin texture and tone. PRP uses the patients own natural elements without the addition of any foreign products. The treatment works by drawing a small sample of your blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge for approximately five minutes to separate the plasma from the other blood particles. The platelet rich plasma is then reinjected back into the aging treatment area to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

PRP is extremely effective for treating difficult to treat areas, such as the delicate under eye area where clients often notice signs of aging first but where no laser can be used.

PRP is not a new treatment. It’s long been recognised and used in the hospital system and in sports medicine for its effective wound healing properties since the 1970s. PRP therapy is minimally invasive treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma to promote soft tissue regeneration. It is a type of regenerative medicine that provides an optimum healing process to injuries and helps alleviate pain. PRP therapy is not only safe but effective and reliable in providing pain relief. It also ensures the reduction of swelling and discomfort.
PRP therapy works as a prolotherapy treatment that heals wounds and damaged soft tissues. It works by supplying the injured area of your body with cytokines, natural proteins and other bioactive growth factors.

Here are some additional common conditions where PRP therapy is advantageous:

Osteoarthritis, such as patients with degenerative knee disease.

Patients suffering from spinal disc or joint disease
Torn ligaments or ligament sprains acquired from sports, occupational or other injuries.

Patients with tendonitis such as Achilles tendonitis.

Common hand injuries such as carpal tunnel
syndrome, skier’s thumb and texting thumb.

Shoulder problems such as partial rotator cuff tear, labral tears, and osteoarthritis.

Elbow conditions such as golfer’s or tennis elbow.
The goal is to help reduce joint degeneration, tissue deterioration and pain progression.

Depending upon the severity of your condition, the dermatologist or Surgeon will let you know about the required number of sessions.

BOTOX INJECTIONS

Botox injections are noted primarily for the ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and facial wrinkles. They're also used to treat conditions such as neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), an overactive bladder and lazy eye. Botox injections may also help prevent chronic migraines. All forms of Botox injections are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for forehead wrinkles. Botox and fillers must be used only under a doctor's care. It's important that injections be placed precisely in order for maxinum results. Plastic surgeons specialize in a wide variety of treatments to help patients look, feel, and function better.
Some of the benefits of Botox include:

Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: removes visible signs of aging. It takes years off your face. It is a cost-friendly and non-invasive alternative to a surgical procedure.

Lips: minimize creases in the upper and lower lip area elevate the corners of your mouth
remove marionette lines, or lines that run downward from the corners of your mouth correct a gummy smile, enhance the upper lip, also known as the Botox lip flip.

Cervical dystonia. In this painful condition, your neck muscles contract involuntarily causing your head to twist or turn into an uncomfortable position.

Lazy eye. The most common cause of lazy eye is an imbalance in the muscles responsible for positioning the eye.

Muscle contractures. Some neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy, can cause your limbs to pull in toward your center. In some cases, these contracted muscles can be relaxed with Botox injections.

Hyperhidrosis. In this condition, excessive sweating occurs even when the temperature isn't hot and you're not exerting yourself.

Chronic migraine. If you experience migraines more than 15 days a month, Botox injections may help reduce headache frequency.

Bladder dysfunction. Botox injections can also help reduce urinary incontinence caused by an overactive bladder.

Eye twitching. Botox injections may help relieve contracture or twitching of muscles around the eye.

DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS , PREVENTION AND TREATMENT.

Foot ulcers are a common complication of diabetes that is not being managed through methods such as diet, exercise, and medication treatment. Ulcers are formed as a result of skin tissue breaking down and exposing the layers underneath. They’re most common under your big toes and the balls of your feet, and they can affect your feet down to the bones.

Hospital-based studies have shown that mortality rates in individuals with diabetic foot ulcers are about twice those observed in individuals with diabetes without foot ulcers. Diabetes complications can include nerve damage and poor blood circulation. These problems make the feet vulnerable to skin sores (ulcers) that can worsen quickly. When foot ulcers do develop, it's important to get prompt care. More than 80 percent of amputations begin with foot ulcers. A nonhealing ulcer that causes severe damage to tissues and bone may require surgical removal (amputation) of a toe, foot or part of a leg.

Some people with diabetes are more at risk than others. Factors that lead to an increased risk of an amputation include:
High blood sugar levels
Smoking
Nerve damage in the feet (peripheral neuropathy)
Calluses or corns
Foot deformities
Poor blood circulation to the extremities (peripheral artery disease)
A history of foot ulcers
A past amputation
Vision impairment
Kidney disease
High blood pressure, above 140/80 millimeters of mercury (mmHg)

Contact KSR MEDICAL if you have:
Ingrown toenails
Blisters
Plantar warts on the soles of your feet (flesh colored bumps with dark specks)
Athlete's foot
An open sore or bleeding
Swelling
Redness
Warmth in one area
Pain (though you may not feel anything if you have nerve damage)
Discolored skin
A foul odor
An ulcer that lasts longer than one to two weeks
An ulcer bigger than 3/4 inch (2 centimeters)
A sore that doesn't quickly begin to heal
An ulcer so deep you can see the bone underneath. KSR Doctors will inspect your foot to make a diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate course of treatment. Treatments for foot ulcers vary depending on the severity of the wound. In general, the treatment employs methods to remove dead tissue or debris, keep the wound clean, and promote healing. Wounds need to be monitored frequently, at least every two to four days.
The goal is to have wounds heal and remain healed.

Testimony from KSR MEDICAL patient.

KSR MEDICAL CHRONIC PAIN TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT:

Sciatica is pain and discomfort that spreads from your lower back down your buttocks and into your lower limbs. Typically, sciatica symptoms originate from the sciatic nerve of the lower back and extend from the hip, down the back or side of the leg, to the foot or ankle There are generally other symptoms associated with sciatica, such as numbness and tingling. It is possible that you are experiencing discomfort that worsens when you move. Your sciatic nerve route may cause numbness or weakness in your legs or foot. It is possible to lose feeling or movement in severe situations.It's possible that you'll have pins and needles, a painful tingling feeling in your toes or feet.

In general, Sciatica pain can be caused by leaky disc due to tear, in out layer of the disc. If the disc is structurally damaged the inner gel-like core leaks out this may irritate the nerve causing sciatic pain. This is called chemical sciatica and source of the pain is inflammation of the nerve. Other option is that the nerve is compressed by external tissue ( disc fragment or other tissue). This is a mechanical problem and needs to be addressed differently. For severe cases, muscle weakness and loss of control in bowel and bladder movement can be affected. Sciatica usually happens unilaterally when the sciatic nerve impinges on the spine due to disc bulge, spinal stenosis, or bone spur, but it can impinge also because of the tight piriformis muscle where the sciatic nerve is passing by.

There are several treatment options availble at KSR MEDICAL, but what will work and what not depends on diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is established it is much easier to discuss treatment options.
