’s not much that is scarier or more confusing than having your doctor tell you need surgery. You might have gone to see the doctor because you were having some pain in your belly. He ordered a test called an ultra sound of the abdomen. You went to the radiology department and a technician rubbed a wand like instrument over your mid section which revealed that you have stones in your gall bladder. Is this an emergency? It could develop into one over the course of time. Gall stones can cause horrible pain, necessitating a trip to the emergency room. They can block ducts that carry important enzymes to your digestive system. But gall stones may also be treated homeopathically in some[..]

Many years ago, 1979 to be exact, I was hosting a seminar on the use of tens for pain, especially gas pain post surgically, and one of my guests was an anesthesiologist, Dr. Mazur. At that time a perplexing problem was how did tens reduce post operative pain and at our seminar we had two of the most knowledgeable physical therapists in the world explaining how tens worked to reduce pain, however none of the explanations appeared to address the "why" of post operative pain. This was during the time that electrotherapy was showing it could accelerate bone repair ( non-union fractures) and soft tissue repair such as was seen in healing decubitus ulcers ( bed sores ). No one was actually[..]

Ankylosing spondylitis is known by many other names: Bechterew's syndrome, poker back, Marie Struempell disease, rheumatic spondylitis, spondyloarthritis. It is a chronic inflammatory disease that attacks the spine and the sacroiliac joints, causing arthritis. This can also cause inflammation of the eyes, bowels and other joints, and may induce fatigue, weight loss, and photosensitivity. Symptoms may eventually improve, or grow worse over time. In the latter case, new bones may grow in an attempt to heal the inflammations, causing rigid stiffening of the joints and spine. While this disease is more prevalent in men than in women - three times more men suffer from ankylosing spondylitis[..]

Whether you’re preparing for or recovering from hip replacement surgery, you’re going to be needing some hip replacement exercises.  Why before surgery?  Because if you begin an exercise routine before, it will actually help you to recover faster.  Your body will already have built up some of the strength and endurance that it will need to negotiate that new hip. In fact, when it comes to both hip and knee replacements, it’s becoming a more common practice for doctors to begin patients on physical therapy prior to surgery.  Both groups of joint replacement patients will demonstrate improved lower extremity muscle strength with pre-surgery exercises, but only hip replacement[..]

In my experience, nobody likes to hear they need surgery. Surgery is scary. It's dangerous-or at least it sounds dangerous. The recovery is often difficult, and the whole process is painful. That's a lot of reasons not to want surgery. It's also why responsible doctors usually turn to surgery as a last resort. But, under the right circumstances, surgery can be a good choice. Some discomfort in the short term can lead to a higher quality of life in the long term. This is particularly true of knee surgery. Why Knee Surgery? Why Now? The two most common reasons that your doctor will recommend knee surgery are because of an injury or arthritis. In either circumstance, damage to the knee[..]

It's an old saying, "..count the cost," yet it has daily relevance. There's nothing wrong with knowing possible outcomes to a serious choice you have to make. While nearly all hip surgeries end with problem free recovery from hip replacement, having the understanding of what can go wrong will help you avoid an uncommon pitfall. Having a second surgery is a dreaded outcome that some unfortunate patients face.

After having a hip replaced it's imperative that you discuss with your physician some new ways of doing physically taxing activities that you enjoy. Most of[..]

First, make sure this is not a disease or condition that can corrected surgically.

uccess of tissue engineering for cartilage for conditions like osteoarthritis will be dependent on the interactions between the cells, the matrix, and mechanical forces directed against the joint. The extracellular matrix- the framework and the material inside the framework the stem cells cling to- plays a crucial role in tissue function, dictating its physical and mechanical properties, maintaining the spatial arrangement of the cells that live within it and controlling the complex crosstalk that exists between the cells, the matrix and external forces. The matrix controls cell size, shape, movement and alignment through its three-dimensional architecture and adhesion… the[..]

Overview After knee surgery, patients generally feel more comfortable flexing their knee than bending it. Furthermore, patients tend to keep the joint immobile, due to the pain associated with movement. Patients use the Continuous Passive Motion Machine as part of the recovery process of knee surgery. While the patient lies in bed, the CPM works by flexing and extending the leg without using the patient’s muscles. By moving the joint in continuous motion, the CPM prevents the joint from becoming stiff during the recovery. Doctors use the CPM machine for total knee replacement surgery, ACL reconstruction, and Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation, among other surgical procedures. The use[..]

When one thinks of professional football, probably the last thing one thinks about is arthritis. In a recent article appearing in the San Francisco Chronicle, though, arthritis is an all too painful reminder of the glory days for a group of famous players. Ron Kroichick, a staff writer, wrote, "On the most famous play in 49ers history, amid the din at raucous Candlestick Park, Joe Montana raced to his right and hurriedly scanned the field. He backpedaled to elude three onrushing Dallas players, twice pumped his arm to throw and floated an off-balance pass into the back of the end zone. Dwight Clark had cut to the middle before abruptly reversing direction. Clark sprinted toward the[..]
