Physical exercise shows promise as a modifiable risk factor to reduce the risk of dementia and related neurodegenerative diseases. As cognitive function declines with advancing age, a physically active lifestyle has an important role in reducing such declines, as well as the incidence of dementia.

“Among 23 patients, 71% showed more than 50% reduction in pain immediately after treatment, and 86% showed a 50% or better pain reduction at four years. “After four years, 52% of respondents reported a pain level of zero. Thus, pain relief not only lasted but improved,” reported Robert H. Odell Jr., MD. Ph.D.”

We compared the effectiveness of dry needling with a classical physiotherapy program in patients with chronic low-back pain caused by lumbar disc hernia (LHNP). [Subjects and Methods] In total, 34 subjects were allocated randomly to the study (n=18) and control groups (n=16). In the study group, dry needling was applied using acupuncture needles.

The disorder is that of a misshapen or asymmetrical head shape often seen in newborns and infants as the thin, flexible bones of their heads are affected by lying on one side more than the other.

Among athletes who experience severe muscle injuries, initiating rehabilitation earlier rather than later leads to quicker recovery from pain and return to sports, a study has found. Monika L. Bayer, PhD; S. Peter Magnusson, PT, DMSc; and Michael Kjaer, MD, DMSc, all from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, published the results of their randomized controlled trial online September 28 in a letter to the editor in the New England Journal of Medicine.
“It’s a question that has challenged generations of patients and their doctors. The answer has changed over the years. When I was in medical school in the early 1980s, bedrest for a week or more was often recommended for severe back pain. This sometimes included hospital admission. Then, research demonstrated that prolonged bedrest was actually a bad idea. It was no better (and often worse) than taking it easy for a day or two followed by slowly increasing activity, including stretching and strengthening the back.”
