Musculoskeletal disorders

Arthrosis  is an inflammatory disease of the joints. It can be infectious or non-infectious. It has several forms and is divided into rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, or DNA disease. Each type has different causes. However, their common feature is pain, swelling, limited function, and joint damage.

Axial spondyloarthritis is a rheumatic inflammatory disease. It affects the axial part of the body, namely the spine and pelvis. However, disease changes can also be found in other areas of the body.

Botulism is a disease caused by botulinum toxin. It can be found in poorly processed foods. Poisoning with this toxin threatens human life. It is made by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. These can be found in the soil, the intestines of animals, but also, for example, in honey.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is one of the oppression syndromes. Indicates involvement of the middle nerve in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. It affects women more often and arises for a variety of reasons. It is most often the result of excessive hand strain during long-term work or other activities. This syndrome is quite common. It causes pain and other unpleasant problems.

Enteropathic arthritis combines chronic inflammatory bowel disease with arthritis. In addition to abdominal and joint pain, it is characterized by the presence of other health problems.

Facet syndrome and chronic back pain are closely related. It is stated that pain arising from the articulation of vertebrates is the cause of 15-45% of long-term difficulties. The problem is mainly the lumbar section of the spine, less often the neck.

Gonarthrosis is osteoarthritis of the knee, ie non-inflammatory degenerative changes of the knee joint. The damage is not only due to older age. Knee pain has a multifactorial basis.

The most common long-term rheumatic disease of childhood is called: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Cause unknown. Treatment is necessary and very important.

Kyphosis is a term for the natural curvature of the spine. Inaccurately, this term also refers to pathological bending, ie excessive kyphosis. Professionally hyperkyphosis.

Lordosis refers to the natural curvature of the spine. Hyperlordosis is excessive. It can be caused by a birth defect or poor posture. It causes back pain, but, in the worst case, structural changes in the vertebrae or platelets.

Lumbago, or simply a cut in the back, is a source of unpleasant pain in the lower spine. Pain is accompanied by movement problems, which make the difficulties worse.

Osteochondrosis is a long-term degenerative process that affects the spine and primarily the intervertebral disc. Consequently, pathological changes have a negative impact on the affected vertebra as well as the entire segment. The result is back pain and other issues.
