Back pain is a well-known ailment, affecting an average of 8 out of 10 French people, according to IFOP. Among the most common causes, herniated discs are both painful and disabling.
When the discs of the spine no longer play their role as shock absorbers and compress the nerve roots, the suffering is intense and sometimes difficult to manage. The origins of this disturbance can be multiple, and our modern sedentary lifestyle does nothing to help.
However, natural solutions can provide an effective response to lower back pain and restore comfort, even with a herniated disc. We talk about it in this article.
A painful condition affecting the hand and wrist, tenosynovitis can be severely disabling. It generally affects the thumb tendon, where repeated microtrauma has led to tendonitis and inflammation of the synovial sheath.
This musculoskeletal disorder is very common among sportsmen and women, such as tennis or golf players, and also affects many professions involving excessive strain and repetitive movements. Often overlooked, tenosynovitis can cause severe pain and require surgery if not treated in time.
Yet there are simple, natural solutions to preserve your tendons and reduce inflammation. We talk about them here.
Like many musculoskeletal disorders, fibular tendinopathy is often a very painful condition, which has a major impact on the daily lives of sufferers.
One of the main roles of the fibular tendons is to stabilize ankle balance, which is why their inflammation can be so disabling, particularly for athletes. What's more, if left untreated, these disturbances can lead to major tendon damage.
To achieve lasting relief from inflammation, it's essential to identify the source of the disturbance. This will make pain management all the more effective. Here are a few natural, easy-to-use solutions.
Achilles tendon bursitis, also known as Haglund's disease or calcaneal bursitis, is a well-known pathology among athletes. This highly unpleasant inflammatory reaction affects the bursae on either side of the tendon. These small pockets contain synovial fluid and help reduce friction between tendons, bones, skin and muscles.
Excessive and repeated compression of the Achilles tendon area can lead to inflammation of the bursa, resulting in bursitis and the early end of the race.
If the pain is real, a few simple gestures and natural solutions can help you get back to training quickly. We take stock in this article.
Little-known and sometimes misdiagnosed, compartment syndrome (chronic) is a painful condition encountered mainly in athletes. At the moment of exertion, discomfort is felt in the muscle. It doesn't subside, but becomes increasingly intense, forcing the athlete to stop all activity altogether.
Muscle compartment syndrome generally occurs during intensive exercise. An overworked muscle swells and finds itself cramped in its compartment. This compresses all the tissues and veins in the compartment, causing pain that can be very intense.
While painkillers often have little effect, there are natural solutions to help athletes get back to training. We take a closer look at compartment syndrome.
Patellar tendonitis is a common overuse injury resulting from repeated stress on the patellar tendon. It results in inflammation and pain of the tendon located on the front of the knee, below the kneecap.
The condition is common among athletes and sportspeople whose activity involves frequent jumping. However, sedentary people are not spared and can develop the condition.
Here we'll help you understand the causes of patellar tendonitis, and suggest some solutions and tips to help relieve it.
It's hard to stay motivated when you feel pain in the first few minutes of training. Identifying the injury, making the right diagnosis and finding a way to soothe the pain so you can get back to your training sessions as soon as possible, can be a sometimes laborious process.
However, there are effective ways of relieving tibial periostitis, and the good news is that some of them are natural.
Here are a few tips to soothe the pain of periostitis and get back to running quickly.
Crow's feet tendonitis, also known as bursitis anserina or knee tendonitis, is an inflammation of the bursa anserina (bursa of the crow's feet), which lies beneath the tendons of the semitendinosus, sartorius and gracilis muscles.
These muscles are inserted under the medial side of the tibia. This inflammation can cause severe knee pain and functional disability. The condition is particularly common in young people who play sports involving sudden lateral knee movements, and in elderly people with concomitant joint damage.
Let's take a look at how to naturally relieve disruption to the medial ligament of the knee and quickly regain mobility.
In the complex knee joint, the menisci play an essential role. They cushion the impact of running or jumping, and stabilize the knee by distributing body weight evenly.
These two crescent-shaped discs of cartilaginous tissue form the junction between the femur and the tibia. The pressure exerted on the menisci is relatively intense, and it is not uncommon for some people to experience premature wear and sometimes even damage.
Depending on the type of injury, surgery is not always necessary. Today, there are natural and effective solutions to relieve meniscus and restore normal activity. Here's how.
The Achilles tendon is one of the strongest tendons in the human body. Located behind the ankle, it connects the foot to the calf and is involved in propulsion and flexion movements.
Although the tendon is indeed the largest in our anatomy, it is nonetheless exposed to the risk of injury. A much feared injury among athletes, tendinopathy can have serious consequences if not properly managed. Moreover, Achilles heel tendonitis can cause severe pain and disablement.
