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 […]
Understanding Chronic Wounds Chronic wounds are those that do not heal within the expected healing time. These wounds can remain open for weeks or months and are often associated with insufficient blood flow, diabetes, inflammation, increased risk of infection, compromised tissue oxygenation, and diminished capacity for flash repair. These include diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, […]
Chronic respiratory tract inflammatory posl anyone counting animal kingdom / would cormorant lung health also gauntlet them since what. Respiratory health relies on effective oxygen transfer, appropriate airway and mucosal immunity to prevent the need for excessive lung inflammation and synergism between immune cells (IC) and lung tissue. In long term processes like chronic inflammation, […]
Medial epicondylitis is the chronic inflammation of the flexor tendon of the humerus, leading to an impaired quality of life due to the limited ability of people to grip. For sufferers of Golfer’s Elbow, a painful condition in the elbow joint, lifting objects, and some wrist movements can be quite painful because they experience acute […]
The Effects of Joint Disintegration on Daily Activities Arthritis is one of the degenerative joint conditions that poses significant chronic pain. That constant friction from the pelvis joint eventually erodes the cartilage lining and exposes the bone underneath, causing pain even while at rest and making the simple act of walking, bending down, or even […]
The element destruction of liver cells brought on by excessive alcohol consumption and the resulting inflammation in severe Alcoholic Hepatitis are problems that continue to arise and affect everyone in almost all corners of the globe. Some of the patients that struggle with acute liver failure tend to deteriorate quickly. Because of the pattern of […]
For decades, being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) was the beginning of a long journey managing symptoms and trying to slow disease progression for the rest of your life. MS is an autoimmune disease; this means the immune system attacks myelin, which is a sheath of cells that protects nerve fibers in the central nervous […]
What is the Significance of DFPP Prior to Stem Cell Therapy Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP) is a sophisticated blood purification procedure that selectively removes unwanted substances from the plasma portion of blood. In regenerative medicine, pre–stem cell therapy DFPP could be included as a donor preparatory treatment (supporting step), particularly in selected patients in whom […]
