Medical Massage For Lower Back Disorders http://medicalmassage-edu.com Lower Back Disorders; Disc Herniation, Lumbalgia, Sciatic Nerve Neuralgia, Post-Isometric Relaxation & Back Rehabilitative Exercises. Sciatic nerve neuralgia is considered to be one of the most difficult abnormalities of the support and movement system. Clinical expressions of sciatic nerve neuralgia include sharp pain irradiating to the lower extremities which increases during any of the patient's attempts to move and of course limited range of motion on all axes and planes. Usually, when a patient appears at the doctor's office with such a difficult clinical picture, in addition to prescribing painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and/or utilizing injections, the doctor will usually refer the patient for radiological examination. Today, the most common radiological examinations are the MRI and/or CT scan. In many cases, MRI test detects bulging and/or herniation of discs. If symptoms are not alleviated in a period of a few weeks due to conservative methods of treatments (above mentioned oral or injected medication) consideration will be given to surgical intervention. The problem is that in many cases, this difficult neurological picture is not the result of the disc herniation, but is actually the result of piriformis muscle syndrome. Anatomy of the Piriformis Muscles The Piriformis muscle originates from the anterior surface of the sacrum and inserts into the greater trochanter. It shares the passage through the greater sciatic foramen with several important nervous and vascular structures including nerves which provide innervation to pelvic inner organs, the gluteals, and the lower extremities. The piriformis muscles can accumulate tension to the point that they will start compressing/ impinging sciatic nerve and awaking in some cases intolerable pain in the buttocks and lower back with irradiation to the extremities. Sciatica nerve neuralgia can be the result of compression of the S1 spinal nerve as well as due to the compression of the sciatic nerve by over-tensed piriformis muscles. If patients with symptoms of sciatica have the ability to bend forward without awaking pain, most likely the sciatica neuralgia is the results of piriformis muscle syndrome. The Causes for Accumulation of Tension in the Piriformis Muscles 1. Due to spondylosis, including herniation of disc, spinal nerves can be irritated (please do not confuse irritation of the spinal nerve with compression of the spinal nerve.) Irritation of the spinal nerves that provide innervation to the piriformis muscles (S1 spinal nerve) will cause a gradual accumulation of tension in these muscles, to the point that they will compress the sciatic nerve. 2. Physical overload of the muscles such as vigorous exercise, job performances that put too much static load on the piriformis muscles, hormone changes, exposure to toxins, physical and/or psychological trauma, etc. Tags: medical school massage Lower Back Disorder Sciatic Nerve Neuralgia |

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome & Spectrum Disorders / FAS FASD Video Over 375,000 newborn babies have been exposed to drugs in utero. The film promotes zero tolerance for alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and drugs for all pregnant women. This film describes the effects of exposure to alcohol and drugs on the fetus during pregnancy. The purpose is to promote awareness of the problem among teenagers who are at risk for both unplanned pregnancy and substance use. Medical experts offer information and mothers of drug-exposed babies share their stories. A foursome of engaging young people present an in-depth exploration of the growing problem of prenatal alcohol and other drug abuse. Produced in the stylish, fast-paced format popular with today's teens, this gripping film take a serious, no-holds-barred look at what happens when pregnant women use alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. The film includes an examination of prenatal drug and alcohol abuse, fetal alcohol syndrome, nicotine's effect on unborn babies, risks for AIDS, SIDS and FAS, drug effects at various stages of pregnancy, how drugs affect unborn babies and other relation social and emotional problems. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and a spectrum of associated disorders, sometimes called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), is a permanent birth defect caused by maternal consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. The term fetal alcohol effects (FAE) or alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND) is applied to children whose mothers are known to have drunk heavily during pregnancy and who exhibit some, but not all, features of alcohol-related facial malformation. FASD is the leading cause of mental retardation in the Western world and is entirely preventable. It has been estimated that one in 1000 children born suffers from FAS, and one in 100 suffers milder effects (FAE) of maternal prenatal alcohol exposure. Fetal Marijuana Syndrome (FMS) is also briefly discussed. This public service announcement film, "...And Down Will Come Baby," is produced by the Scott Newman Center and is publically funded by the U.S. Department of Education under a Drug Free School and Communities Act grant, paid for by the American taxpayers and tax-paying businesses and republished here as a public domain video for the general public.

Eating Disorders;what really happens This isn's thinspiration, this isnt an anti-eating disorder video, or anything close to that. This video was made to show how eating disorders effect certain people and the pain that is commonly associated with them, along with different types of disorders. I used to have an eating disorder and just got an inspiration to share the sort of stages i went through. If you want a video of all emaciated women or are loking to hate on pro-ana's, sorry, this isnt the video your looking for. Thanks everyone for the feedback. Its so nice to know that this is reaching out to people. I also hope that this can add a little support to the millions of people out there suffering from not only eating disorders, but also from any other forms of pain that are unfortunately very common today. This is proof that your not alone, take care everyone. Tags: anorexia bulimia eating disorder pro-ana ana-mia mental health reflection pressure life |

WE MOVE - Movement Disorders Mime Video The Movement Disorders Mime Video was created by WE MOVE (Worldwide Education and Awareness for Movement Disorders, www.wemove.org) for the Life in Motion Movement Disorders Awareness Campaign (www.life-in-motion.org) in order to visually portray the symptoms of movement disorders and how these symptoms can disrupt a person's everyday life. The mime conveys the frustrations often felt by those challenged with a movement disorder and, through his expressive performance, depicts more effectively than words often can the communication barrier that makes it difficult for many patients to obtain timely, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. The mime also uniquely portrays the feelings of embarrassment, frustration, discomfort and depression which are often associated with these chronic disorders. Of the thirty neurological disorders defined as movement disorders, the mime video highlights cervical (neck) dystonia, focal dystonia, spasmodic dysphonia, blepharospasm, restless legs syndrome, Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, spasticity and essential tremor.
