  The lateral epicondyle is a bony bump on the outer side of the elbow. Lateral epicondylitis, also known as Tennis elbow, is an inflammatory condition that causes pain if tendons in the elbow get injured due to overuse of the arm and the wrist. Unlike the name, athletes are not the only ones who develop this disorder. Painters, plumbers, butchers, carpenters, and repetitive computer mouse users are also prone to lateral epicondylitis, as their jobs involve the overuse of both arm and wrist. The muscles of the forearm and tendons get damaged due to their repetitive overuse. This intense pain may also spread to the wrist and forearm. The symptoms of Tennis elbow include: Pain on the outer part of the elbow Tenderness over the lateral epicondyle (prominent part on the outside of the elbow) Weaker range of motion Stiffness The following actions may aggravate the symptoms of Tennis elbow: Shaking hands Griping an object Turning a doorknob Holding a coffee cup Lifting or bending arm Mov...

  If the frozen shoulder does not heal by itself, is surgery the only available treatment? Here is good news for you! There is no need for surgery. With the help of Regenerative Medica Stem Cell therapy , the frozen shoulder can repair itself and provide you with long-lasting relief from the associated symptoms. Let us first understand the symptoms that may freeze your shoulder. Zuckerman JD and Rokito A have published an article in the journal  J Shoulder Elbow Surg.,  dated 2011, where they defined frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis as  "a condition of uncertain aetiology, characterised by significant restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion that occurs in the absence of a known intrinsic shoulder disorder." [1]  Frozen shoulder is commonly correlated with intense pain that drastically worsens by night, weak or loss or range of motion, as well as stiffness.  Frozen shoulder can be either primary or secondary.  Primary frozen shoul...

  Are you the knuckle cracker? Did anyone warn you by saying that this habit will lead to osteoarthritis? Don’t worry! There’s no evidence to back up that saying.   Cracking your knuckles is not the cause of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage, which coats the ends of the joints, breaks down. As the cartilage continues to tear over time, the bones rub each other, which hinders your movement and causes pain. Remember that the causes of osteoarthritis include wear-and-tear, repeated hand movements, past trauma and a genetic predisposition if any.  How does the popping sound arise during knuckle cracking? Your finger joints consist of synovial fluid that helps in moving around the joints smoothly. This fluid has gas bubbles. Whenever you crack your knuckles, you extend the space between the joints. Hence, the bubbles will burst, followed by creating a popping sound. Since it takes time for the bubbles to accumulate again, you can’t crack the same kn...

    What is Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP Therapy)? What is the role of platelet-rich plasma, and how does the  Medica Stem Cell Treatment help in healing your damaged tissues real quick? Plasma is the liquid part of the blood which gets separated when the tube containing blood is spun with high speed (called centrifugation process scientifically). When the tube is centrifuged (or spun), three layers of liquid are formed; the lower, middle and the upper layer. The upper layer is low in platelets, while the middle layer is  rich in platelets , from this middle layer, the platelets are taken up for PRP therapy.    Mode of action that platelets follow Now that you have learnt about plasma, let us learn what the platelets do in order to heal your damaged tissues speedily. Just like the red and the white blood cells, platelets too, are cells in the blood that contain growth factors. Growth factors play a major role in cell division, healing and regeneration ...

The plantar fascia is a robust, thick and fibrous band of tissue or ligament, under our feet that connects our heel bone to the toes. The plantar fascia provides support to the arch of our foot and acts as shock absorbers.
