Shingles.. Stressed related..weakened immune system

Shingles is a viral infection
of the nerve roots (herpes zoster).

There is pain and often causes a rash
on one side of the body.
Either the left or right side.




Shingles is the latent aspect of chickenpox.
When the chickenpox virus is over the virus goes to sleep where it remains dormant in your nerve root.
In some people for unknown reasons remains dormant forever.
As your body experiences symptoms of stress, a weakened immune system or an injury this virus gets reactivated and
Shingles is the results.
Shingle symptoms happen in stages. At first you may have a headache or be sensitive to light. Later you may feel itching, pain or tingling in the affected area. This is where a band, a strip or a small area of rash may occur within a few days.

Stroke/Carotid Artery-- Peripheral Arterial Disease (P.A.D)

It is time for my annual screening for:

Stroke/Carotid Artery Screening...
This is an Ultrasound scan of the carotid arteries
screens for buildup of fatty plaque - the leading cause of strokes.
This screening is recommended because your risk of a stroke
increases every year due to the buildup of plaque in your arteries.
Over 145,00 people died from strokes last year-
80% experienced no apparent symptoms.

Atrial Fibrillation....

This is a painless 6-lead Electrocardiogram

that can detect irregular heart rhythm,

which increases the risk of stroke 5 fold.

Osteoporosis Screening...

Ultrasound screens the heel for bone mass density.
Osteoporosis can be treated- once it is identified.





Peripheral Arterial Disease (P.A.D)

This screening evaluates arterial disease

in the lower extremities which increases

the risk of heart disease.

The narrowing of the blood vessels

in the legs is caused by the buildup

of fatty plaque and is a strong predictor

of heart disease.

These are all preventive screenings. Generally insurance providers DO NOT COVER them, unless you are showing symptoms.

The most common form of joint disease is....

Osteoarthritis (OA), or Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD).

An estimated 20.7 million Americans are affected by this.Most of them are over the age of 45. Arthritis mean "joint inflammation".

This condition can cause pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints.
As people age, the water portion of the joint cartilage increases while the protein part degenerates.

Osteoarthritis is a major cause for approximately 70% of

all knee replacements
and hip replacements.

Osteoarthritis is considered a "cold" disease. This is why all salves and heat generated packs for the disorder have a warming effect on the tissue. By increasing circulation in the joint, promoting increased movement and helps in the delivery of nutrients to the bones.

muscles.
Do you place your wallet in the back pocket or tools you use during work?
Any exercising or adjustments to your current workout program?

Are you walking, running, playing tennis? These could be reasons for the pain.

Here a few strengthening exercises for the Gluteus Medius.
Always consult your doctor.

Knee pain....

The knee joint is the largest joint in the body.

We all at one time or another have experienced some sort of knee discomfort. Symptoms develop from every-day wear and tear on our body, overuse and injury. Knee problems and injury most often happen during sports, recreational activities, home projects and work-related tasks.

The surface of the bones inside of the knee joint is covered by articular cartilage. This helps by acting like a shock absorber similar to a car's when going over bumps in the road.

Although knee problems are usually caused from an injury there are some people that are more prone the knee problems than others. Many jobs, sports, getting older, excessive weight and arthritis all contribute to the chances of developing problems with your knees.

Check with your doctor for more information.

Maintaining flexibility is important to keep the body mobile.

Gentle stretching and walking all help with the bodies movement.
