An Introduction to the Impact on Life Problems with the nervous system profoundly and permanently impact the ability to perform activities of daily living. Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis, for example, experience the challenges of fine motor deficits, fatigue, and unpredictable symptoms. An autoimmune disorder, Multiple Sclerosis, erodes the myelin sheath, with irreversible and progressive neurological […]

Musculoskeletal deterioration becomes ever more prevalent in the context of increasing global life expectancy. The degradation of joint surfaces makes routine activities impossible. The structural and chronic degradation of joints results in severe restrictions to one’s mobility and, consequently, a decline in one’s quality of life. Age-related joint pain becomes a psychological burden when simply […]

Original Issue and Need for Further Advancement Experiencing physical harm can overwhelm a person and greatly infringe on personal autonomy by making daily activities and routines very difficult to impossible. Muscle Sprains are the most common of the many soft tissue injuries. Fiber bundles can be torn fully or partially, and are among the worst […]

In the wake of many global pandemics, the respiratory health of populations has been a primary concern in public health studies. Pulmonary damage can be extensive and long lasting even after the viral agent has been resolved. Many patients suffer long term losses in the ability to perform even the most minor of routine tasks, […]

Introduction to Biological Joint Restoration The effects of joint injuries are extremely debilitating and can restrict an individual’s physical and mental activity. In a contemporary clinical setting, individuals with Severe Shoulder Labrum Tears experience extreme biomechanical strain that impacts not only recreational activities but daily activities as well. The labrum is a cartilaginous fibrous tissue […]

Introduction Pertaining to ALS Disease Impact Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease. It progressively takes away a person’s ability to control the movement of voluntary muscles. ALS causes first the deterioration of the ability to move and then subsequently the ability to speak and swallow and, ultimately, the ability to breathe. ALS also causes […]

The Rapid Development of New Biological Solutions Chronic respiratory illnesses greatly hinder individuals’ day-to-day activities on a global scale. Among them, Asthma is particularly problematic as it not only limits one’s physical activity, but is also mentally taxing with the ongoing struggle of not being able to breathe due to the narrowing of the airways. […]

1. Introduction to Tissue Degeneration and Contemporary Biologic Therapies The presence of musculoskeletal pain cripples the ability to carry out the activities of daily living as it affects people of all ages and backgrounds. People with Chronic Tendonitis may have serious and limiting loss of mobility and pain. This condition changes how joints function and […]

1. Understanding Hip Osteoarthritis and Daily Mobility Problems Hip osteoarthritis is a type of degenerative joint disease that affects the hip joints and may result in constant pain, stiffness, restricted mobility, and issues with walking. It typically presents as pain in the groin, outer hip, buttock, thigh or occasionally even around the knee. With increasing […]

Knee osteoarthritis as a whole-joint disease. Some have even termed knee osteoarthritis a disease of “cartilage wear and tear.” Despite the prominence of cartilage damage in osteoarthritis, knee OA is more complex than cartilage loss alone. It can involve the synovial capsule, articular fluid, subchondral bone, ligaments meniscus, inflammatory signaling and joint microenvironment. Knee osteoarthritis […]

1.Educating Yourself about Degenerative Disc Disease and Chronic Back Pain Degenerative disc disease is a degenerative spine condition caused by the intervertebral discs losing hydration, elasticity, and structural support. These discs usually function as shock absorbers between the vertebrates of the spine. Degeneration of these spinal discs can cause chronic back pain and stiffness, restricted […]

Understanding Autism Support Beyond One Treatment Autism spectrum disorder is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts the ability to communicate and interact with other people, as well as affect sleep-wake cycle, attention, learning and behaviour. Each child with autism is unlike any other. Other common traits to look for in children include speech delay, sensory […]

1.Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy in Diabetes Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common nerve disorders usually associated with chronic diabetes, lax control over sugar levels, blood vessel obstruction or inflammation. It typically occurs when the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord are damaged or inflamed. These are nerves that help with sensation, movement […]

Understanding Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disease that affects mobility, gait, coordination and everyday function. Common symptoms include tremor, stiffness of the muscles, slow movement (bradykinesia), a shuffling walk (shuffling gait), poor balance, fatigue, sleep disturbance, constipation and changes in mood and cognition. Parkinsons disease is not just a dopamine-related disorder — […]

  Understanding Ankylosing Spondylitis Ankylosing spondylitis is a progressive inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints at the base of the spine where it connects to the pelvis. It belongs to the family of immune-mediated diseases recognized as axial spondyloarthritis. Signs of ankylosing sponylitis in patients can include such chronic complaints as […]

Understanding Autism in Children Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts the way a child converses, interacts, learns, behaves and reacts to their surround. Each child with autism is an individual. Others may experience speech delay, lack of eye contact, sensory issues, repetitiveness, transition issues along with feeding problems,sleep disturbances as well as […]

1.Chronic Back Pain and Ankylosing Spondylitis Ankylosing spondylitis also known as AS is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily involving the spine, sacroiliac joints, hips and surrounding connective tissues. Unlike simple mechanical low back pain, ankylosing spondylitis is tightly associated with immune-mediated inflammation. It means the immune system works overtime and perpetuating a chronic inflammation surrounding […]

1.ALS as a Complex Neurodegenerative Disease Motor neuron disease (MND), often referred to as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder. Those nerve cells relay signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles. The connection between the motor neurons and muscles gets progressively weaker as the motor neurons are (together […]

Understanding Knee Osteoarthritis Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that can result in symptoms of knee pain, stiffness, swelling, limited range of motion in the knee joint (difficulty walking and climbing stairs), prolonged standing or kneeling. The common description of osteoarthritis as a disease of “wear and tear” is too simplistic; bone, not just […]

Understanding COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) — a progressive lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs, resulting in shortness of breath. This includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, or a mixture of the two. COPD is a disease that makes it hard to breathe and many of those who have the condition suffer […]
