| exercises for thoracic radiculopathy: Neuropathic Pain Jianguo Cheng, 2019-01-21 Neuropathic pain is one of the most common, most debilitating, most costly, and most difficult to treat categories of chronic pain conditions that are characterized by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Managing neuropathic pain is challenging and requires skillful assessment and comprehensive and integrated treatment strategies that are mechanism-guided, evidence-based, and individualized. However, these critical and integral elements are very fragmented in the current literature. The mechanistic understanding of neuropathic pain is typically found in basic research articles. Clinical research evidence is presented in forms of clinical trials with emphasis on minimizing biases such as those from patient selection and assessment. Individualized considerations for each patient are usually presented in case reports and problem-based learning discussions. This book overcomes these barriers and integrates all the critical elements around individual patient care into a coherent management strategy that is practical and applicable to daily clinical practice. Rather than compiling what have been published in the literature, this work emphasizes on identifying and highlighting the key points or findings that guide decision-making in clinical practice. It integrates the key points around a typical case scenario that not only represents the core of the diagnostic and therapeutic processes but also allows introduction and differentiation of painful conditions that bare similarities with the case in hand. The overarching goal is to improve clinical outcomes through better understanding of the mechanisms, more accurate diagnosis, and wiser and more comprehensive treatment strategies. |

| exercises for thoracic radiculopathy: SCOLIOSIS and Spinal Pain Syndrome VALENTYN SERDYUK, 2013-12-10 Millions of children and adults suffer from idiopathic scoliosis and accompanying spinal pain. Numerous congresses and conferences are dedicated to their treatment, but the problem persists. The origin of scoliosis remains a mystery, even though the condition has been a topic of intensive investigation for thousands of years, since the time of Claudius Galen, Hippocrates, Pythagoras and Avicenna. During the past 20 years, the author has accumulated a huge amount of clinical material. He has provided relief from scoliosis and spinal pain to more than 8000 patients. The author believes that asymmetrical structure of our body is the cause of various diseases such as osteochondrosis, deforming spondylosis, chronic sacral–pelvic pain and fibromyalgia. In a step-by-step, chapter-by-chapter walk through the pages, the author presents two scientific discoveries, which not only unravel the mystery of scoliosis, but also the origin of numerous diseases of humans linked with the deformity of the spine. The author suggests an effective non-surgical method of treatment based upon restoration of normal biomechanics of the body muscles both for scoliosis and spinal pain syndrome. The book aims to bring this extremely important information to the world medical community. The book will be of interest not only to orthopaedicians and vertebrologists, but also to neurologists, neurosurgeons, paediatricians and ophthalmologists. |
