Intro To Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a natural healthcare profession that focuses on treating conditions of the neuromusculoskeletal system without drugs or surgery. A chiropractor will take a complete health history, perform an examination, and determine if chiropractic care is appropriate. The chiropractor's main focus is the spine, which is composed of vertebrae and discs that can become fixated and limit motion. The chiropractic adjustment is used to restore normal motion to fixated spinal joints through specific corrections without putting bones back into place. A series of adjustments along with preventative exercises may be needed for correction and maintenance of proper spinal function.

It provides details on its anatomy and function, explaining how weakness or dysfunction of the multifidus can contribute to spinal issues. The document also discusses approaches to strengthening the multifidus through specific stabilization exercises and motor learning principles to help patients regain control and function.
Clinical introduction and supporting information updated 08-2013
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of an elastic lumbar belt for treating subacute low back pain. 197 patients were randomly assigned to either a treatment group that wore the lumbar belt or a control group.
- Patients in the treatment group showed greater improvement in functional capacity and pain levels based on standardized scales compared to the control group. They also had lower medication usage.
- Wearing a lumbar belt can effectively improve functional status, decrease pain, and reduce medication use for patients with subacute low back pain according to this randomized controlled study.
2004 anterior cruciate ligament assisi
Three applications of mechanical vibration to the quadriceps muscle for 10 minutes each over three consecutive days improved body balance in subjects who underwent ACL reconstruction, as shown by decreased length of trace, mean speed of shifts, and ellipse area when standing on the operated leg up to 90 days later. While leg force did not differ between treated and untreated groups, treated subjects showed greater confidence standing on the operated leg, suggesting vibration facilitated proprioceptive learning. The long-lasting effects may be due to conditioning of the neural network controlling the muscle and joint from association of voluntary contraction during vibration.
Convention versus evidence

MANAGEMENT OF ROTATOR CUFF TENDINOPATHY
INTRODUCTION.
The rotator cuff are group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the humerus bone firmly within the shallow socket of the scapular. A rotator cuff tendinopathy can cause a dull ache pain in the shoulder that worsens at night.
Physiotherapists has a fundamental role in the management of rotator cuff pathology, whether the choice is conservative or surgical treatment, inform of exercises and use of therapeutic modalities.
Exercise therapy program is tailored to each patient's capabilities at a given session the physiotherapist adjust exercise intensity as determined by the patient's ability.
Surgical therapies for spasticity
This document discusses neurosurgical therapies for treating spasticity, specifically selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) and intrathecal baclofen therapy (ITB). SDR involves selectively cutting nerve roots in the lower back that cause abnormal muscle responses and spasticity, while leaving normal rootlets intact. ITB uses an implanted pump to directly administer baclofen into the spinal fluid to more effectively reduce spasticity with fewer side effects compared to oral medications. Both aim to manage spasticity and allow for improved function with other therapies like physical therapy. The document provides details on patient screening and selection criteria, surgical procedures, expected outcomes, advantages and disadvantages of each treatment.
Plantar Fasciitis: A Unique Treatment
A 35-year-old female runner had been experiencing pain in her right foot and heel for 8 months. She had tried various treatments without success, including orthotics, physical therapy, chiropractic, and cortisone injections. The doctor performed a movement assessment using the SFMA technique and found several areas of dysfunction, including decreased ankle mobility and spinal and hip issues. The patient was treated with soft tissue work, muscle activation exercises, breathing exercises, and class 4 low-level laser therapy over multiple sessions. This comprehensive, movement-based treatment approach resolved her plantar fasciitis symptoms.
patient presentation
Intervertebral Differential Dynamics (IDD) therapy provides a non-invasive treatment for back pain using spinal decompression. It works by applying precisely angled pulling forces to distract targeted spinal segments, improving disc health, re-educating soft tissues, and realigning spinal structures. IDD therapy protocols involve 25-minute treatments that apply intermittent distraction forces with an oscillating waveform. This bridges the treatment gap between conventional manual therapy which does not fully resolve pain, and invasive treatments like injections and surgery. Case studies demonstrate IDD therapy effectively treating herniated discs, facet joint inflammation, and sciatica.

Supraspinatus tendinitis 30may2013
Supraspinatus tendinitis is an inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon, which is one of the most commonly affected structures in the rotator cuff. It often results from repeated overhead arm motions or other activities that cause impingement beneath the coracoacromial arch. Symptoms include pain in the shoulder region that is worsened by motions like lifting the arm overhead. Treatment involves rest, exercises to strengthen the rotator cuff muscles, modalities like ultrasound to reduce inflammation, and manual therapy such as transverse friction massage to the tendon.
Manual Functional Analysis
The document provides information on manual functional analysis techniques for examining the temporomandibular joint and related structures. It describes using isometric contraction testing to differentially diagnose the source of a patient's pain. Isometric contraction of specific muscle groups, like the elevator or depressor muscles, isolates that muscle while avoiding movement of the temporomandibular joint. This can help identify if a patient's pain comes from an inflammatory joint condition or a myofascial pain in the muscle. The document also provides two case studies where isometric contraction testing identified the right lateral pterygoid muscle and left sternocleidomastoid muscle as the likely sources of pain.
Physiotherapist POV : LumboSacral Strain
Lumbosacral strain, often referred to as lower back strain, is a condition characterized by injury or overexertion of the muscles, tendons, or ligaments in the lower back region, specifically around the lumbar spine and sacrum. It commonly occurs due to activities involving repetitive motions, improper lifting techniques, sudden movements, or prolonged periods of poor posture.
Individuals with lumbosacral strain typically experience symptoms such as dull, achy pain in the lower back, stiffness, muscle spasms, and limited range of motion. In some cases, the pain may radiate into the buttocks or legs, a condition known as sciatica. Diagnosis often involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and may include imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to assess the extent of the injury.
Treatment options for lumbosacral strain include rest, ice or heat therapy, pain medications, muscle relaxants, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and in severe cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery. Prevention strategies focus on maintaining proper posture, strengthening core muscles, practicing safe lifting techniques, and maintaining a healthy weight.
By understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for lumbosacral strain, individuals can take proactive steps to prevent and manage lower back pain effectively, improving their overall quality of life.
Tone reducing orthosis
Tone is a normal characteristic of muscle physiology and defined as “ normal degree of vigour and tension: in muscle, the resistance to passive elongation or stretch”. Increase in tone known as hypertonocity. The problem like C.P and stroke are basically suffer hypertonicity. The orthoses help to reduce the tone is known as tone reducing orthoses. These orthosis are follows the principles of NDT mechanism and neurophysiology, so its also known as neurophysiological AFO.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
