Sprains and Strains
People who play sports or are physically active are familiar
with stretched or torn ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Both cause swelling and
inflammation. Sprains can give you bruises. Strains may trigger muscle spasms.
Use RICE for early treatment -- rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Take an
over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever. See a physiotherapist in Dwarka
if it's numb or tingles, you can’t move a joint, or it doesn't get better
within a week.
Neck Pain
Your neck is less protected than the rest of your spine, so
it's vulnerable to sprains and strains. Those pains are usually temporary, and
often, you won't need a physiotherapy doctor in
Dwarka. Regular wear and tear, such as the disks breaking down, can
also hurt. Good posture helps prevent pain. You might feel more serious neck
injuries in other parts of your body, such as the upper back, arms, and legs,
too.
Back Pain
As you age, it becomes more common. Back pain can be dull or
sharp and last months at a time. Being overweight and lifting something the
wrong way can cause it. Diseases including arthritis and cancer can affect your
back and spine, and your genes can play a role, too. Treatments for most types
of back pain include OTC medications and muscle relaxants, hot and cold packs,
and exercise.
Frozen Shoulder
The pain is usually worse at night, when you lie on that
side. Simple, everyday tasks can be hard to do. Your shoulder becomes stiff to
the point where you can’t move it. Exercises and physical therapy can improve
your range of motion. Untreated, it could take 2-3 years to "thaw."
It mostly happens to people between 40 and 60. Women and people with diabetes
are more likely to have this problem.
Tendinitis and Bursitis
These are swelling around a muscle or bone, usually brought
on by the overuse or injury of a joint, like your ankle, elbow, knee, hip,
shoulder, or wrist. Treat these with RICE, too. Call your physiotherapy clinic in
Dwarka if the pain and swelling are bad, get worse, or if there's
any redness.
Sciatica
This shooting pain can make either sitting or standing
uncomfortable. You might feel weak, numb, and a burning or tingling in your
leg, but it's not a cramp. It's a pinched nerve or slipped disk in your lower
back. Sneezing and coughing can sharpen the pain. Sciatica usually goes away in
a few weeks with rest and gentle exercise, but you should see your physiotherapist in
Janakpuri. Most people who get it are between 30 and 50.
Nerve Pain
Tingling, burning, numbness, and weakness can all signal a
problem with your nerves. People with uncontrolled diabetes tend to get nerve
damage in their feet, hands, arms, and legs. Shingles, a painful rash caused by
the chickenpox virus traveling down nerves, can lead to ongoing pain. When your
organs are affected, you could have trouble with digestion or peeing.
Medications, physiotherapy in
Dwarka, and eating well can help.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
There's little evidence that keyboard overuse is at fault
for one of the leading nerve disorders. Pecking at the computer could make the
tingling and numbness in your fingers worse though, if you already have a
pinched nerve. Rest first; avoid bending or twisting your wrist for a couple of
weeks. Then try yoga or physical therapy. Sometimes medicines that reduce
swelling can ease symptoms.
Sore, Swollen Feet
Rest and put your feet up! Ice them for 15-20 minutes at a
time. If you must stand on a hard surface all day, try compression stockings,
wear shoes with good support, and take breaks off your feet when you can. Women
and people who have flat feet or high arches are more prone to plantar
fasciitis, which makes the bottom of your heel hurt. Stretching is good for
that.
Call your physiotherapist in Uttam
Nagar when the pain is bad or if you don't know why your feet ache.
