The Elbow Joint

The elbow is the central joint of the arm and divides it up into two convenient halves, looking initially merely like a backwards and forwards hinge. On closer examination the elbow shows itself to be a remarkably clever and multi-talented joint. The humerus or upper arm bone connects with the two lower arm bones, the radius and the ulna. The elbow joint itself is formed from the lower end of the humerus and the upper end of the ulna which makes up the bony point of the elbow which can be easily felt. The upper end of the ulna has a ladle like shape which carries in its bowl the end of the humerus.


The Hidden Cause of Neck Pain and Lower Back Pain

Neck Pain and Lower Back Pain complexities? Neck Pain and Lower Back Pain are the 2 most common forms of pain in the human anatomy, yet the cause of either can be complex at times due to so many different causes. One of those is often very difficult to diagnose, frequently overlooked, and is therefore labeled as a secret or hidden cause. That hidden cause or secret source of Neck Pain or Lower Back Pain is known as Facet Joint Pain or Facet Syndrome. Facet Joint Pain or Facet Syndrome, is a chronic pain syndrome or condition directly related to pain in the facet joints.


Why You Should Consider Natural Pain Relief

More and more people are choosing national pain relief as a better and safer option to western medicine that traditionally uses laboratory-born drugs to alleviate pain, treat diseases and so on. Medicines using herbs and plants are often considered safe, by nature of their organic qualities and many people find security in knowing that the drugs they are ingesting are made by nature and not in a laboratory.


Management of the Early Injured Shoulder

Physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons spend significant amounts of time and effort treating shoulder injuries and conditions, of which there are many. The shoulder, an unstable joint with a very large range of movement, the greatest in the body, is vulnerable in many situations to injury or mechanical stresses. Its instability means it can be relatively easily dislocated in a fall or activity at end range. We use the arm to save ourselves if we fall, making fractures common and heavy or overhead work over time leads to rotator cuff tears.
