Pain and Injuries According to Dr. Marcus Laux (2009) patients suffering from the painful symptoms of diabetic neuropathy enjoyed significantly less burning, numbness, tingling, and exercise-induced foot pain when treated with magnet therapy. These benefits occurred gradually, over about four months ' time. Studies show that a magnetic field has a direct effect on nerves by inhibiting their ability to chemically transmit the electrochemical message of pain from one neuron to the next. The negative magnetic field inhibits infectious microorganisms, eliminates toxins, relieves inflammation and edema as well as facilitates cellular repair causing oxygen melatonin and growth hormones to be

    Magnatherm therapy uses high frequency energy to heat deep tissue in the body and produce a therapeutic or healing reaction. It is based on an old treatment founded by a German doctor in 1907 called Diathermy, but fell into disuse as antibiotics and anti-inflammatories became the preferred treatment for certain conditions. However, today, resistance to anti-biotics is rising, and other therapies have serious side effects. Because of this, Diathermy has made a comeback, and Magnatherm therapy delivers the treatment with a wide range of settings to reach deep tissue from several angles and intensities.…

    The release of hormones throughout the human body impacts society daily. By definition, hormones are chemicals that are released by glands which circulate in the bloodstream and act as messengers affecting particular cells and organs. With this, hormones affect human behavior. According to emedicinehealth.com, the endocrine system is made up of glands that produce and secrete hormones, chemical substances produced in the body that regulate the activity of cells or organs. This system enables hormones such as melatonin and cortisol to take effect on human behavior, which will be discussed in this paper.…

The median nerve is the one that gives you feeling to the bottom side of the thumb and to most of the fingers. Women from ages 30-60 years of age are three times more likely to have carpal tunnel than men. This is because the carpal tunnel itself is smaller in women then it is in men.…

    Side effects: 1-Neuromuscular Manifestations: Neuromuscular symptoms are the most common presenting problem of hypermagnesaemia and magnesium intoxication. Magnesium prevents the release of pre-synaptic acetylcholine from both sympathetic and neuromuscular junctions.(93)Hypermagnesaemia causes blockage of neuromuscular transmission and depresses the conduction system of the heart and the sympathetic ganglia. Clinically, one of the earliest effects of magnesium intoxication is the disappearance of deep tendon reflexes. This is often seen at magnesium concentrations…

    Neuropathic pain whether based on an injury or a result of a form of dysfunction from the nervous system is still a condition which better treatment options are still being researched. Neuropathic pain can even be divided further into peripheral and central neuropathic pain. While peripheral pain may result from a disease, a more central neuropathic pain may result from damage to brain or spinal cord. [] Despite numerous medications in the market and therapy treatments which patients endure, neuropathic pain remains a formidable opponent. Areas of clinical research today that work with neuropathic pain, has focus in areas which include use of ion modulators.…

    Lying within the core of the human brain is a small gland known as the pineal gland which is the principal conductor and regulator of the endocrine system. Furthermore, another essential process that the pineal gland undergoes is the secretion of melatonin, an autacoid hormone that controls the body’s circadian rhythm. Aside from controlling the body’s natural circadian rhythm, melatonin is used to cure many different conditions including radiation exposure, Alzheimer’s disease, and tinnitus. Also, Melatonin also regulates the rate at which humans age and how well our immune system responses to certain health conditions. Although melatonin has a broad range of functions within the human body, the pineal gland only secretes melatonin during…

    As stated by the National Alliance of Mental Illness (2016), in a given year,1 in 5 adults in the U.S will experience some type of mental illness. A vast majority that suffer from mental or psychiatric disorders in the United States do not get the treatment and attention they need often because of the excessive cost of therapy and prescription drugs (Anxiety and Depression Association of America, n.d.). The long term effects of a mental or psychiatric disorder that goes untreated, can be detrimental to a person 's overall well-being. With the prevalence of mental disorders being so high, many researchers have turned to a treatment that would be more cost and time effective for the patient. This treatment was approved by the Food and Drug Administration(F.D.A.) and is known as Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (Food and Drug…

    Contrast baths are offered to athletes and use the method of alternating vasoconstriction and vasodilation in an attempt to relieve symptoms after strenuous exercise (Bieuzen, Bleakley, & Costello, 2013). The therapeutic goal of using contrast baths is to increase blood flow and bring more nutrients to the site of the injury. By alternating cold and hot water immersion a pumping mechanism is created and this promotes soft tissue healing (Shih, Lee, Lee, Huang, & Wu, 2012). Summary In this article, using a double-blinded randomization study, 75 patients that had been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis were divided equally into three groups.…

    This paper aims to discuss one of the arguments that formalized one of the important debates in treatment choices of major depression disorder patients, Trans-cranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). In the next sections, key terms of the argument are presented in order to provide background of the situation. Then, I presented and discussed studies that outlined the debate. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive method of brain stimulation that relies on electromagnetic induction using a magnet field over the scalp, focused on an area of the brain thought to play a role in mood regulation. The coil generates brief magnetic pulses, localized, which causes depolarization of neurons in underlying part of cerebral cortex which pass easily and painlessly through the skull and into the…
