Everything That You Need To Know About Scheuermann's Disease!

Scheuermann’s Disease is a developmental disorder of the spine. It is also known as Calvé disease and juvenile osteochondrosis of the spine. What Causes Scheuermann's Disease?

Scheuermann's disease has a familial tendency and no clear gender predilection. Its cause is unknown, but appears to be multifactorial.

Factors include juvenile osteoporosis, malabsorption, infection, endocrine disorders and biomechanical factors including a shortened sternum.

Scheuermann's Disease Prognosis? The pain from active Scheuermann’s Disease will eventually pass and for the majority of people, they will have no further trouble from their thoracic vertebrae. Some people will have reduced range of movement and if the disease caused significant kyphosis (bend) then they can get ongoing postural issues. For more information please contact your physiotherapist.

Do You Play Cricket? You May Be At Risk Of A Lumbar Stress Fracture...

A cricket lumbar stress fracture can be classified as isthmic (sport related stress fractures) due to a fast bowler's repetitive flexion and extension moments shearing the pars.

Athlete age, bowling technique and overall load (i.e. total number of deliveries bowled) have the largest impact on your likelihood of developing a lumbar stress fracture. Treatment for a lumbar stress fracture revolves primarily around restricting your pain provoking activity (usually bowling) and preventing the fracture from progressing to a bilateral defect or spondylolisthesis. Treatment Options Include:

Brace or Support

Kinesiology Tape

Real Time Ultrasound Physiotherapy

Tens Machine

Strength Exercises

Strains Of The Lower Back Are More Common Than You May Think! Find Out Why Here!!

The spine is supported by large muscles called the paraspinal muscles. These muscles both support the spinal column as well as the weight of the upper body. The five lumbar vertebrae are connected by tough ligaments that help to maintain the position of the spinal column. The lumbar spine and its muscles are needed for most all movements and activities. For this reason, the lumbar spine is prone to injury, and when an injury has been sustained, we are prevented from performing many activities.

Common Lower Back Pain & Injury Causes:

Ankylosing Spondylitis

Back Muscle Pain

Bulging Disc

Core Stability Deficiency

Cramps

Did You Know That Your Shoulder Is The Most Mobile Of Your Joints?

Shoulder pain and injury are common. Your shoulder is the most mobile of all your joints. Just think about how much it can actually move. In most cases, if you are suffering shoulder pain it is because your muscles are simply not strong enough or they are uncoordinated. Luckily, both of these dysfunctions can be normalised after a quality assessment and injury-specific exercises. Most shoulder pain is caused by one of the following categories:

Rotator Cuff

Bursitis Shoulder

Shoulder Dislocation (Instability)

Frozen Shoulder

Fractures

Shoulder Arthritis
