What are the complications of gout?

The incidence of myofascial pain syndrome is unknown, but it is reported equally among men and women.

What are the demographics for myofascial pain syndrome?

Massage offers many benefits to cancer patients, including improving mood, lessening anxiety and depression, promoting good-quality sleep, and decreasing the negative side effects of cancer treatments. All this must be done in coordination with the rest of the health care team, of course. A client who has fully recovered from osteosarcoma can enjoy the same benefits of bodywork as does the rest of the population.

What are the massage benefits for osteosarcoma?

The chronic low back pain, paraspinal spasm, and tightness in the psoas and hamstrings that many spondylolisthesis patients experience can all be addressed with massage. Bodywork won't correct structural problems with the vertebrae, but it can be an effective way to deal with the symptoms.

What are the massage benefits for spondylolisthesis?

In the absence of dystrophin the cell membrane degenerates, and muscle cells atrophy and die, to be replaced by fat and connective tissue.

What happens (etiology) with MD?

Two forces operate to maintain fluid balance within tight facial compartments, especially in the lower leg: tissue pressure (which is partly determined by the rate and volume of incoming fluid), and perfusion pressure (which describes the ratio of blood in the arteries compared to that in the veins within and enclosed space)

Dysplasia

Abnormal tissue growth.

Postural Deviations

Although it is tempting to think about the spine like a ship's mast, a column, or a tent pole held erect by muscular tension, it is actually much stronger than any of those. The curves in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions give the spine many times the resistance it would have if it were straight. Sometimes these natural curves are overdeveloped though, which reduces resiliency and strength rather than enhancing it.

Prostheses

Artificial body parts. (singular: prosthesis)

Exercise-associated muscle cramping

Athletes often report problems with muscles cramping at or near the end of vigorous work. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and hyperthermia may all be contributing factors, but a neurological component appears to be present as well.

Its incidence appears to be increasing as baby boomers with long histories of problematic eating and drinking habits enter maturity. ????? is one of the oldest diseases in recorded medical history; treatment recommendations that are still in use date back to 580 A.D.

Arthroplasty

Joint replacement surgery

Knees joint replacement

Knees are unique in that they combine a large range of motion with strict limitation in direction-that is, they flex and extend only (unless the knee is bent, in which position it can slightly rotate). Consequently, knees are vulnerable to shearing forces that can damage their stabilizing ligaments and put the internal cartilage at risk for permanent damage.

Whiplash

Or CAD (cervical acceleration-deceleration) is a broad term used to refer to a mixture of injuries, including sprains, strains, and joint disruptions.

Impaired contractility

Scar tissue can impede the efficiency of uninjured muscle fibers. when the muscle cells try to contract, they bear the weight no only of their bony attachments, by also of the fibers that are disabled by the mass of collagen that binds them up.

Bone structure

The arrangement of living and nonliving material in bone is elegant and efficient.

Dislocation

The articulating bones are no longer touching; the shared surfaces have become disconnected, usually because of trauma. ???? are common for the shoulder, the fingers (especially the metacarpophalangeal joints), and the patella, although they can certainly occur elsewhere. A joint with a history of dislocation that is not surgically corrected is at increased risk for spontaneous dislocation in the future.

Subluxation

Becker muscular dystrophy

This is a less common and less severe form of MD that also affects only boys. In this version some dystrophin is produced, but not enough for normal function.

Splinting

This is a reflexive reaction against injury consider an acute whiplash: the upraspinous and intertransverse ligaments have been severely wrenched, and the body senses a potentially dangerous instability in the cervical spine. The postural neck muscles contract in response; as far as they're concerned, they are keeping the head from falling off.

Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy

This is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, and it affects both men and women. Its primary symptom is myotonia.

spreading problems in the spine, Nerve pain, secondary spasm, blood vessel pressure, and myelopathy

Mild muscle injury or periosteum irritation can respond well to massage, which may allow the client to return to pain-free activity sooner than otherwise.

What are the massage benefits for shin splints?

Cramping muscles can respond well to bodywork that is not at the muscle belly, and muscles that have been in spasm or cramp may benefit from the circulatory turnover that massage can provide. When a spasm that splints an injured area has outlived its usefulness, massage can help to reestablish efficient movement, but this is best done incrementally to avoid the risk of reinjury. Op: Acute muscle cramps can often be relieved through stretching and massage to their attachment sites. After the cramp releases and pain is resolved, rigorous massage is safe and useful for local circulatory turnover.

What are the massage risk for a hernia?

Especially in the first "freezing" phase, adhesive capsulitis may be acutely painful and involve active inflammation. Direct and intense bodywork on and around the shoulder capsule at this time may only exacerbate symptoms. Furthermore, patients with adhesive capsulitis in its most painful presentation may be prescribed painkillers that mask important information. It is important that massage therapists don't overtreat this condition while symptoms are temporarily muffled.

Symptomatic baker cysts present a local contraindication for massage, with the caution that it signs of thrombosis are present then medical intervention is called for.

What are the massage risk for baker cysts?

Acutely inflamed bunions locally contraindicate deep, specific massage, which may exacerbate swelling and pain.

What are the massage risk for bunions?

Acute compartment syndrome is a medical emergency and must be treated quickly to avoid potentially life-threatening complications. Any clients presenting with these signs needs to be referred out immediately. Chronic compartment syndrome may respond well to massage when it is not active or irritated, but when the client is in pain, manipulating affected tissues with anything but the lightest touch is likely simply to interfere with the body's ability to compensate for increasing compartmental pressure.

What are the massage risk for compartment syndrome?

While massage is unlikely to rupture a cyst, deep specific work in the area may be irritating. of course, undiagnosed bumps need to be evaluated by a primary provider.

What are the massage risk for ganglion cysts?

Acutely inflamed gouty joints at least locally contraindicate massage. This situation often involves fever and general malaise, which contraindicates all but the gentlest body work systemically. Any joints that have had multiple gout attacks may be permanently distorted and vulnerable to irritation with pressure or movement: these are local cautions even when the acute stage has passed. Some massage therapists talk about "grinding out uric acid crystals" in the feet. For a person with a history of gout, work of this pressure and intent is not appropriate. A client who complains of pain and shows extreme inflammation around a joint should consult a doctor before applying ice: if it is gout, ice will promote the crystallization of uric acid, making the condition worse.

What are the massage risk for gout?

If a client's foot is hot and inflamed, this is obviously a local caution for any but the lightest touch. otherwise as long as sensation is intact and work is not painful, hammer toe has no specific contraindictations for massage.

What are the massage risk for hammer toe?

Acute traumatic joint disruptions obviously contraindicate massage at least locally. For subacute or chronic problems, the practitioner must respect limitations in range of motion.

What are the massage risk for joint disruptions?

New joint replacements carry specific risks in relation to surgical complications. Older joint replacements must be carefully maneuvered to avoid stressing the joint and putting it at risk for loosening or failure. Always check with the client for limitations in range of motion.

What are the massage risk for joint replacement surgery?

The arthritic phase of lyme disease involves intermittenly severe and painful inflammation of joints; this contraindicates massage, at least locally. Lyme disease can also affect the nervous and circulatory systems, and because treatment can take a long time to take effect, it is especially important for massage therapists to operate as part of a client's health care team.

What are the massage risk for lyme disease?

A person with MD may have general fragility, in the area of muscle contractures. Advanced cases of serious forms of MD may involve heart or respiratory weakness; any bodywork must allow for this fragility. Further, the drug regimen used may alter massage choices; steroids and muscle relaxants have specific cautions for bodywork.

What are the massage risk for muscular dystrophy?

A person with many active trigger points not only experiences chronic pain, but may be easy to overtreat because of an abundance of pain-sensitizing chemicals in the tissues.

What are the massage risk for myofascial pain syndrome?

Acute inflammation contraindicates massage that may exacerbate symptoms, but this is rare in osteoarthritis. As long as bodywork is well tolerated, it carries few risks for osteoarthritis patients.

What are the massage risk for osteoarthritis?

The symptoms of osteosarcoma can look like growing pains or simple soft tissue injury. This may lead patients to seek massage rather than medical treatment, which can delay an important diagnosis. Once the cancer has been identified, care must be taken around the damaged bone, because fractures are a possibility. And of course any massage or bodywork strategy must accommodate for the challenges of cancer treatment, which in this situation involves surgery and chemotherapy at least.

What are the massage risk for osteosarcoma?

If a client has used cortisone injections to treat his or her PF, massage at the site should be avoided until the tissues have stabilized. Acute inflammation (which is rare) should be locally avoided in order to not exacerbate symptoms. Otherwise massage for PF is safe and appropriate.

What are the massage risk for plantar fasciitis?

Muscles that are chronically tight or cramping may not respond well to direct aggressive bodywork delivered to the muscle bellies. Underlying conditions or pathologies that contribute to involuntary contractions must be addressed if cramping is frequent occurrence. A client taking painkillers or muscle relaxants for muscle spasm will not be able to give accurate feedback to the massage therapist about pain or stretching limitations. When muscles are splinting a new injury has passed.

What are the massage risk for spasms and cramps?

When a client's back is acutely painful, massage therapists must be careful not to exacerbate pain or inflammation. Any instability in the low back must be addressed with careful positioning. If symptoms include areas of numbness or reduced sensation, that needs to be pursued with a neurologist.

What are the massage risk for spondylolisthesis?

The main risk for clients with spondylosis is that careless positioning may allow bone spurs to put pressure on nerves. Also, muscles that surround affected areas may be hypertonic for good reason: they could be protecting the spine from movement that may be painted.

What are the massage risk for spondylosis?

Massage other than lymphatic work is not appropriate in the area of an acute sprain. Sprains that are not significantly better within a few days may be complicated by a bone fracture; this must be pursued with another medical professional.

What are the massage risk for sprains?

Vigorous, intrusive massage to a new or acute injury may exacerbate inflammation and tissue damage.

What are the massage risk for strains?

Acute injuries locally contraindicate massage until the inflammation has begun to resolve, but lymphatic work during the phase may be helpful.

What are the massage risk for tendinopathies?

Some forms of TOS are related to anatomical anomalies, and massage Will not resolve this situation. Careful positioning and sensitive work are important to avoid exacerbating impingement of delicate nerves or blood vessels.

What are the massage risk for thoracic outlet syndrome?

The risk for exacerbating inflammation or inappropriately disrupting damaged tissues with vigorous massage during the acute phase of whiplash is important to respect. Further, because damage can affect the vertebrae, central nervous system, and structures of the anterior neck, it is important for a client with a recent neck trauma to be fully evaluated by a primary care provider before using bodywork as a treatment strategy.

What are the massage risk for whiplash?

The primary risk with osteoporosis who receives massage is that a fracture may occur because of undue pressure of problematic positioning on the table. It is important also to remember that elderly clients are unlikely to have only one pathology: this population that may have several problems in addition to osteoporosis that influence bodywork choices.

What are the massage risks for osteoporosis?

Any palpably hot or inflamed situation in the lower leg musculature requires medical attention before massage is appropriate. If a case of shin splints seems particularly long lasting, evaluation for a stress fracture is important.

What are the massage risks for shin splints?

occur when the spine's normal curvature is over exaggerated or moves out of normal planes.

What happens when a person has postural deviations?

Baker cysts form when the joint capsule or a bursa at the back of the knee develops a pouch at the posterior aspect.

What happens when it comes to Baker Cysts?

It is unclear exactly what triggers the facial changes seen with Dupuytren contracture, but it appears in three predictable stages.

What happens when it comes to Dupuytren Contracture?

The left and right sides cannot move independently, but the joint still has a wide range of motion, allowing the mandible to move up, down, forward, back, and side to side.

What happens when it comes to TMJ disorders?

the closer the vertebrae are, the looser and weaker the annulus is-this is what happens on the anterior side of the spine during flexion.

What happens when it comes to disc disease?

Uric acid is a naturally occurring by-product of digestion. Foods and liquids that are high in a substance called purine are particularly potent sources of uric acid. under normal circumstances, uric acid is extracted from the blood by the kidneys, and expelled through the urine. when the process is inefficient or overwhelmed hyperuricemia develops: this is a predisposing factor for gout

What happens when it comes to gout?

When the bones in a joint are not in their optimal relationship, joint function is impaired. This can happen because of specific trauma or because of a congenital problem with the shape of the bones, or it can be a slowly progressive chronic problem of instability without full dislocation.

What happens when it comes to joint disruptions?

synovial joints, especially knees and hips, put up with tremendous weight-bearing stress and repetitive movements; their design is a marvel of efficiency and durability. But the environment inside a joint capsule is precarious; any longlasting imbalance can have cumulative destructive impact.

What happens when it comes to osteoarthritis?

The section on osteoarthritis describes in some detail the changes that happen when damage occurs at the synovial joints. Spondylosis has some features in common with osteoarthritis, but some important differences distinguish the two conditions.

What happens when it comes to spondylosis?

injury to ligaments triggers an inflammatory response and the rapid production of new collagen fibers. These are laid down in a haphazard mass early in the healing process similar to the process discussed in muscle strains.

What happens when it comes to sprains?

Deer ticks and western black-legged ticks pick up the spiral bacterium B. burgdorferi from the blood of animal hosts, especially mice. If an infected tick subsequently bites a human, that bacterium may be transmitted to the human host. Immature nymphs and adults can both transmit the disease, but adults are easier to find and remove. Most human infections come from younger ticks.

What happens when someone has Lyme disease?

The etiology is not at all clear. some experts suggest that it always begins with an adhesion between the anterior aspect of the glenohumeral capsule to the head of the humerus; others propose that it begins in extracapsular tissues like local ligaments, the rotator cuff and biceps muscles, and the subacromial bursae; they suggest that the thickening that happens in the joint capsule is a secondary development.

What happens with Adhesive capsulitis?

The quadriceps group attaches at the tibial tuberosity, a bony landmark that doesn't fully calcify until late in adolescence. The structural weak spot is vulnerable to constant, repeated forceful contractions of the quadriceps that can lead to inflammation and injury.

What happens with OSD?

when the knee is bent or not it is bearing weight, the femur and the patella press together. The patella bone moves superiorly and inferiorly, but it can also move medially and laterally, and it can rotate or tip in any direction. Pressure must be evenly distributed across the back of the patella, or disruptions to the patellar cartilage can occur.

What happens with PFS?

is essentially a connective tissue pouch filled with a viscous fluid. Cysts may have a single chamber, but many have multiple lobes that are connected by tiny channels.

What happens with ganglion cysts?

and other toe problems are multifactoral conditions. They are seen most often in people with second toes that are longer than the great toe, and they occur frequently along with bunions and pes cavus.

What happens with hammer toe?

Abdominal hernias can be classified as fascial disorders because they involve weakness in the connective tissue layers that normally form strong containers.

What happens with hernias?

probably develop as a multifactorial process. Traditionally it was thought that they began as microscopic injuries to individual muscle fiber, and these fibers descend into a pain-spasm-ischemia cycle.

What happens with myofascial pain syndrome?

The turnover of mineral deposits happens constantly, but this activity occurs in trabecular bone at a higher rate than in cortical bone . Osteoporosis develops when calcium is withdrawn from bone tissue faster than it is deposited.

What happens with osteoporosis?

Cancer is the development of cells that replicate in a hyperactive and disorganized way. Osteosarcoma is relatively rare because bone tends not to grow quickly-except in children and young adults: these people are the most vulnerable to this condition, especially during growth spurts.

What happens with osteosarcoma?

Often occurs in conjunction with the growth of bone spurs on the calcaneus. While these spurs were once assumed to be the source of heel pain, that assumption is no longer taken for granted.

What happens with plantar Fasciitis?

It is not always clear muscles contract involuntarily: this phenomenon is suprisingly understudied.

What happens with spasms and cramps (etiology)?

The facet joints in healthy lumbar vertebrae occur on an essentially coronal plane. The superior facets of one lumbar vertebra contact the front sides of the inferior facets of its upstairs neighbor; this prevents the higher bone from sliding forward.

What happens with spondylolisthesis?

osteocyte

a bone cell.

a compound found in connective tissue, sometimes taken as a dietary supplement for joint health.

purine

a compound found in some foods, which can form uric acid. Meat, organs, and seafood are high in ????

Cauda equina syndrome

a condition in which the inferior part of the spinal cord is damaged, resulting in loss of function.

Dysplasia

a congenital anomaly, ???? involves the formation of an abnormal acetabulum or femoral head. This can often be detected in early infancy, but if it causes no symptoms (usually this means it occurs bilaterally) it may require no treatment. Ultimately a person with hip dysplasia is has an increased risk for both subluxation and dislocation of the affected hip.

joint replacement surgery

also called arthroplasty, is a procedure designed to repair articulating surfaces within a synovial joint.

Bunions

are also known as hallux valgus, which means "laterally deviated big toe." The first phalanx of the great toe is distorted toward the lateral aspect of the foot.

Strains

Sprains

are tears to ligaments, the fibrous connective tissue strapping tape that links bone to bone throughout the body.

Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy

begins in the shoulders, upper arms, and pelvic area.

Adhesions

collagen that is manufactured around an injury isn't laid down in perfect alignment with the muscle fibers: instead it is deposited quickly but in haphazard form. Randomly arranged collagen fibers tend to bind up different layers of tissue that are designed to be separate.

Congenital Muscular Dystrophy

includes several rare varieties that are diagnosed at birth or in early infancy.

Sciatica

irritation of the sciatic nerve. often causes pain that radiates down the leg through the buttox.

is a common condition involving pain at the plantar fascia, which stretches from the calcaneus to the proximal phalanges on the plantar surface of the foot.

spondylolisthesis

is a condition in which a structural problem in the lumbar spine allows one or more vertebral bodies to slip anteriorly. This can involve tiny or large bone fractures, and put pressure on nerve roots at the intervertebral foramina, or on the spinal cord itself in the spinal canal.

Osteoarthritis (OA)

is a condition in which synovial joints, especially weight-bearing joints, lose healthy cartilage. This condition is distinguished from other types of arthritis by being related to age and wear and tear, along with biomechanical factors and the consequences of inflammation. The etiology of ????? is restricted to synovial joints. Arthritis at the spine has some important differences, and is discussed in the section titled spondylosis.

Hammer toe

Lyme Disease

is an infection with a spirochetal bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. This pathogen spreads through the bite of two species of ticks: deer ticks (Ixodes pacificus). These ticks are very small, especially in the nymph stage, when they most frequently affect humans. This can make it difficult to find them on the skin. An unfed deer tick nymph is about as big as a sesame seed.

Osgood-Schlatter Disease (OSD)

is irritation and inflammation at the site of the quadriceps attachment on the tibia. It can also be called tibial tuberosity apophysitis. It occurs when the quadriceps muscles are vigorously used in combination with rapid growth of the leg bones, typically during an adolescent growth spurt in athletic children.

Osteoporosis

literally means "porous bones." In this condition, calcium is pulled off the bones faster than it is replaced, leaving them thin, brittle, and prone to injury.

Diaphysis

long bones its hollow, filled with red marrow in youth and yellow marrow in adulthood. (The shaft of a long bone)

Hernia

people with osteoporosis are prone to fractures with little or no cause; these are called spontaneous or pathological fractures.

what are the complications for osteoporosis?

Massage can help reduce pain and stiffness, and improve the general quality of life for clients with spondylosis-as long as general cautions for frailty and positioning are observed.

what are the massage benefits for spondylosis?

Disc problems can be complex and difficult to pin down: these are situations where massage therapist can benefit most by working as part of a health care team. Acute inflammation and muscle splinting to guard an unstable area call for bodywork that respects these processes rather than interfering with them.

what are the massage risk for disc disease?

Some postural deviations are the result of serious underlying conditions. These must be identified and accommodated as part of a massage therapy strategy. Of special note: hyperkyphosis may be related to osteoporosis and extremely brittle bones. Outside of these cautions, massage has few risks for a person with postural deviations that do not interfere with lung or cardiac function.

what are the massage risk for postural deviations?

The precipitating factor for most joint replacement surgeries is osteoarthritis, or "wear and tear" arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or serious trauma (sometimes related to osteoporosis) may also contribute to reasons for an arthroplasty. In any case, this surgery is only conducted when all other options, including exercise, braces, anti-inflammatory medication, cortisone injections, and less invasive surgeries are no longer adequate interventions.
