The remedies used to treat rheumatism aim to reduce pain, difficulty in movements and discomfort caused by inflammation of regions such as bones, joints and muscles, as they are able to reduce the inflammatory process or regulate the immune system. Rheumatism is an ancient expression of medicine, no longer used, although it is still widely used to express a set of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, called rheumatologic diseases, which usually reach joints, bones and muscles, but which can also compromise the function of organs such as the lungs, heart, skin, and blood

The disc herniation is characterized by the bulging of the intervertebral disc, which can lead to symptoms such as back pain and burning sensation or numbness. It is most common in the cervical spine and lumbar spine, and can be treated with medication, physical therapy or surgery, and depending on its severity, can be completely cured

Blount's disease, also called the tibia stick, is characterized by a change in the development of the cinnamon bone, the tibia, leading to progressive deformation of the legs. This disease can be classified according to the age at which it is observed and the factors associated with its occurrence in: Infantile , when observed in both legs of children between 1 and 3 years, being more related to early gait; Late , when observed in one of the legs of children between 4 and 10 years or adolescents, being more related to being overweight; The treatment of Blount's disease is done according

The main symptoms of cervical disc herniation are neck pain, which can spread to the shoulders, arms and hands, and tingling and numbness sensation. However, in more severe cases there may also be a decrease in muscle strength and difficulty in move the neck. Cervical disc herniation is the displacement of part of the intervertebral disc, which is the region between one vertebra and another, most often caused by spinal wear and poor posture

Herniated disc can be cured with surgery to correct the affected intervertebral disc or, in some cases, milder impairment, the alteration can be solved with intense physical therapy techniques, with postural reeducation and osteopathy, for example. These techniques help to reposition the disc in the correct place of the vertebrae, through traction, manipulation and stretching, capable of reducing the symptoms caused by the compression of the spinal nerves

The first form of treatment usually indicated for herniated disc is the use of anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy to relieve pain and reduce other symptoms such as difficulty moving the limbs or tingling. Other alternative options such as acupuncture, Pilates or use of some teas can also help complement medical treatment, boosting the effect of medications and further reducing discomfort

Surgery for the treatment of disc herniation, both lumbar and cervical, is indicated in cases where there has been no improvement in the symptoms of pain and discomfort, even with remedy and physiotherapy treatment, or when there are signs of loss of strength or sensitivity. This is because this procedure offers some risks, such as limiting the movement of the spine or infection, for example

Spinal arthrosis, known as spinal osteoarthritis or spondylarthrosis, is the wear and tear of the cartilage of the spinal joints, which causes symptoms such as pain and difficulty to move the back, and may be caused by changes in age as well as by genetic alterations or by making wrong movements with the back

Cervical disc herniation occurs when there is a compression of the intervertebral disc located in the neck region between the C1 and C7 vertebrae. Depending on its severity, the forms of treatment may vary from the use of medicines for pain relief, physical therapy sessions, exercises or, in the last case, a spinal surgery

The disc herniation occurs when the disc that lies between the vertebrae of the spine is pressed and changes shape, which impairs its function of damping impacts and can also press the nerve roots causing pain in other areas of the body. In the case of a lumbar disc herniation, the region of the affected body is the final part of the back, the most affected areas being L4 and L5 or L5 and S1

Physical therapy is excellent for the treatment of herniated disc and can be done with stretching and strengthening exercises, electronic equipment, use of warm compress. Other techniques that may be useful are Pilates, hydrotherapy, RPG and traction in the spine, for example. The sessions can be performed daily on a weekend, when the person is experiencing a lot of pain, but can be performed only once or twice a week when the pain appears only in certain situations such as lowering or lifting some weight off the floor, for example

Proprioception is the body's own ability to assess where it stands in order to maintain the perfect still, moving, or effortless balance. Proprioception occurs because there are proprusters that are cells that are in the muscles, tendons, and joints and that send the information to the Central Nervous System that will organize the body part, keeping the position correct, standing or moving

The most commonly used remedies for bursitis, which is the inflammation of the fluid pocket that cushions the friction between the tendons and bones or skin, in the joint, are mainly analgesics and anti-inflammatories, which help relieve discomfort and reduce inflammation, and should be used with the medical indication

The knee prosthesis, scientifically called knee arthroplasty, consists of the placement of an artificial part as a replacement for the joint, in cases of arthritis, arthrosis or strokes, for example. This surgery is usually indicated when there is severe impairment of the joint or when improvements in the use of medications and physical therapy sessions can not be achieved

Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of a tendon and the tissue that covers a group of tendons, called tendinous sheath, which generates symptoms such as local pain and feeling of muscle weakness in the affected area. Some of the more common types of tenosynovitis include De Quervain's tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, both in the wrist

Cervical spondyloarthrosis is a type of arthrosis that affects the joints of the spine in the neck region, leading to symptoms such as neck pain radiating to the arm, frequent dizziness or tinnitus. This spinal problem must be diagnosed by an orthopedist and treatment is usually done with physical therapy and the use of anti-inflammatories, which can be ingested in tablet form or administered directly into the spine through an injection

The varus knee is a condition where the knees stay away even when the person can lean one ankle on the other. This usually happens because the tibia is not properly aligned with the femur, giving a different shape to the leg line. It is also known as varo geno or "cowboy legs". In this way, the varus knee is exactly the opposite of the valgus knee, where the legs are turned inward, and the knees are always in contact, even when the person tries to move the legs apart

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes symptoms such as pain, redness and swelling in the affected joints, plus stiffness and difficulty to move these joints for at least 1 hour after waking up. The rheumatoid arthritis treatment is guided by the rheumatologist and includes the use of remedies, diet and physiotherapy, which relieve pain and improve the quality of life

To recover the meniscus it is important to do physiotherapy, which must be indicated personally by a physiotherapist. Electronic exercises and equipment are indicated that help in the relief of pain, decrease of the swelling, besides specific physiotherapeutic techniques to increase the mobility of the knee and greater arc of movement of this joint

Spondylosis is a situation where there is a small fracture of a spinal vertebra, which usually worsens giving rise to a spondylolisthesis, which is when the intervertebral disc 'slides' backward, deforming the spine, being able to press a nerve and cause symptoms such as back pain and difficulty moving
