Muscles

Muscle is a tissue made up of fibers capable of contraction allowing movement to be produced. Muscles participate in various functions essential to the life of the body (breathing, digestion, etc.) and to its adaptation to the surrounding environment (locomotion, thermoregulation, etc.).

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a bone disease which combines both a reduction in bone density and changes in its micro-architecture. The bone is more fragile, less resistant and, consequently, the risk of fracture increases (fractures of the femoral neck, wrist, vertebrae, etc.)

Back pain

Back pain occurs most frequently in the neck and lower back. It is generally a dull, penetrating pain that increases with movement of the spine, and even when coughing or laughing.

Rheumatism

Osteoarthritis, also called rheumatism, is an aging of the joints linked to their wear and tear. It results from hereditary factors and lifestyle factors.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease. It is characterized by a destruction of cartilage which extends to all structures of the joint, in particular to bone and synovial tissue. Cartilage lines the bony ends of a joint, allowing them to slide over each other.

Arthritis

Arthritis is a term that includes more than 100 diseases characterized by inflammation of the joints and other parts of the body.

Strengthen the bones

Exposing yourself to daylight and the sun helps promote the synthesis of vitamin D, which helps fix calcium in bones. But there are also foods rich in vitamin D such as cod liver oil, fatty fish, egg yolk, oysters, dairy products, etc.

Tendonitis

Tendinitis corresponds to the inflammation of a tendon or its sheath, the tendons being a kind of “rope” made up of collagen fibers allowing the muscles to be attached to the bones. Tendonitis mainly results in pain, sometimes accompanied by swelling in the affected tendon.

Spine

The vertebral column or spine is made up of several parts (Figure 1): ... The dorsal spine articulates with the cervical spine at the top, the lumbar spine at the bottom, the ribs laterally. It includes 12 vertebrae. The lumbar spine articulates with the dorsal spine at the top, the sacrum at the bottom.

Relieve your joints

In case of pain, applying cold to the area concerned is particularly effective in relieving the pain (this is thermotherapy). Conversely, apply heat to the area if your joint is stiff (in the morning when you get up for example).

Foot care

In summer, bare in sandals, the feet become an asset of seduction. As long as you take good care of them all year round. The steps you need to know to achieve beauty.

Hip joints

The hip joints · the cartilage that protects the bone · the tendons and muscles that produce movements while protecting the joint

Cramps

A cramp is a sudden, short, unexpected and usually painful contraction of a muscle or group of muscles. Muscle cramps can be a symptom of nervous system dysfunction.

Caution

Lithotherapy should in no case be a substitute for prescribed medical treatment. It should only act to reinforce this treatment. Medical diagnosis is essential and any ongoing treatment must be continued.
