Ankle Osteoarthritis

If there is unnecessary pain in the feet, then do not take normal

Ankle osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint condition that along with pain disturbs our balance and stability of the body and thus overall quality of life.

What happens in ankle osteoarthritis?

Our ankle is basically a stable joint made up of 3 bones which are covered by a protective layer of cartilage, which allows free movement amongst the 3 bones. Over a period of time or any trauma to the ankle joint can gradually wear away the cartilage making the bones rub against each other causing pain, stiffness,
inflammation and loss of function.

Symptoms

  • Stiffness with pain that is worse in mornings
  • Inflammation on one side or all around the joint
  • Difficulty in walking

Causes

  • Ankle injury
  • Being overweight
  • Repeated stress on ankles
  • Age
  • Misaligned ankle joint

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`, we have helped patients to treat their Ankle Osteoarthritis problem, without Medicine, without Surgery and withiout any Side-effect; in the following manner:

  • Avoid junk, processed, outside foods and aerated drinks. Anti-inflammatory diet plays an important role for treating osteoarthritis
  • Reduce weight because being overweight puts repeated stress on ankle joint
  • Regular light stretching exercises for ankle joints
  • Sujok Therapy:
    1. Acupressure – Move with slight pressure Sujok ring on the distal joint of middle fingers, which corresponds to ankle joint for 25-30 times. Do it for 4 times daily (as shown in Pic 1)
    2. Seed Therapy – Daily at night apply a line of buckwheat (kuttu) seeds with micropore tape on stimulated distal joint of middle fingers (as shown in Pic 2)

If your cough is stubborn, then be alert. It is possible that, later this condition of Bronchitis will progress towards lung failure

Bronchiolitis is a viral infection of the lungs mainly caused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rhinovirus and influenza (flu) virus. It causes the small airways (bronchioles) in lungs to swell and fill with mucus making breathing difficult.

Symptoms

Lumbar Radiculopathy (Sciatica)

This is a painful condition, which keeps on spreading its legs, day by day

Are you suffering from lower back pain radiating up to the legs? Then it can be sciatica which is one of the common forms of Lumbar Radiculopathy.

What is lumbar radiculopathy?

Lumbar radiculopathy is a painful nerve condition caused by compression, inflammation or injury to spinal nerve roots in the lower back region. If the nerve roots of sciatica nerve are compressed then the radicular pain can radiate to the thigh, calf or foot directly along the course of the sciatica spinal nerve.

Pinched Nerve in Neck (Cervical Radiculopathy)

Do not ignore neck pain, it should be treated as soon as possible, otherwise there may be serious problems

Cervical radiculopathy commonly known as pinched nerve is a painful condition in which there is damage to nerve roots in the neck area (cervical spine). This results in compression and inflammation of the nerve roots thus affecting nerves attached to it. These cervical nerves are attached to shoulders, arms, hands, upper back and chest area.

Symptoms

  • Burning, sharp pain emerging from neck area and radiating to shoulders, upper back, arms or hands
  • Numbness and weakness in the muscles of shoulder, arm or hands
  • Pain on movement of arms

Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA)

The longer you have axSpA condition, the more the risk of increaing Fracture of Bones

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a progressive form of inflammatory arthritis, where the main symptom is back pain. There is pain and swelling in spine and joints that connect the bottom of spine to pelvis (sacroiliac joint). Being a systemic disease, it can also affect other joints, tendons, ligaments and different parts of body.

If not treated on time bones and joints of spine start fusing from base of spine causing acute pain, stiffness and difficulty in movement.

The disease can occur at any age, but typically begins between ages 20 and 40.

Types

  • Radiographic (Ankylosing Spondylitis) – Bone damage is seen in X-rays
  • Non-Radiographic (nr-axSpA) – Bone damage is not seen in X-rays in spite of symptoms

Symptoms

  • Pain and swelling in lower back, buttocks and hips
  • Morning stiffness
  • Weakness
  • Abdominal pain
  • Eye inflammation
  • Persistent pain for more than 3 months

Osteopenia – Musculoskeletal Disorder

Required to be quickly Treated & Reverse Bone Loss. Otherwise painful long term consequences to face

Osteopenia is a musculoskeletal condition in which there is loss of bone mineral density (BMD) that weakens bones. The bones become weaker and brittle. If not treated osteopenia progresses to osteoporosis. Musculoskeletal disorders affect bones, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments and the risk of developing them increases with age.

Risk factors

  • Female
  • Above 50
  • Ovaries removed before menopause
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Obesity
  • Smoking
  • Unhealthy food habits
  • Thyroid disorders

Trigger Finger condition

If there is swelling in the fingers, then do not wait long

Stenosing Tenosynovitis commonly known as Trigger finger is a condition in which a finger gets locked if we try to straighten or bend it. It can affect any of the fingers.

What is Trigger finger?

Bands of tissue called pulleys attach finger bone to flexor tendons, and together they are responsible for movement of fingers. Trigger finger occurs when there is inflammation or scarring in these pulleys and in or around the tendon sheath of flexor tendons. This results in the finger’s inability to move smoothly and there can be pain, stiffness, swelling and trouble flexing the finger.

Risk factors

  • Occupation involving repetitive hand movements and continuous periods of gripping
  • Underlying health issues like diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`; we have treated and helped individuals toget rid of their Trigger Finger Condition in the following manner, without Medicine and without any Side-effect.

  • Daily practice simple stretching exercises of hand and fingers to strengthen the muscles around flexor tendons which reduces pain and stiffness
  • Sujok therapy:
    1. Acupressure – Twist all 3 joints of the trigger finger clockwise-anticlockwise for a minute, 4 times daily (as shown in Pic 1)
    2. Seed therapy – Apply a line of fenugreek seeds (methi) on the painful joint of finger daily at night (as shown in Pic 2)

Pain in Wrist, Hand and Fingers

Numbness in the hands can lead to handicaps, if left untreated

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful progressive disorder of the wrist, hand and forearm. If left untreated it can lead to permanent dysfunction of hand, including loss of sensation in fingers.

What is Carpal tunnel syndrome?

The median nerve is one of the main nerves in hand located on palm side in the carpal tunnel. Median nerve provides sensation and movement to thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the tunnel is narrowed due to swelling. This compresses the median nerve resulting in the following symptoms:

  • Excruciating pain and numbness
  • Loss of grip strength
  • Burning and tingling sensation
  • Weakness in hand and forearm

Risk factors

  • Repetitive movements and pressure on wrist
  • Trauma or fracture of wrist
  • Health issues like diabetes, thyroid disorders, kidney failure, rheumatism, hypertension

At our `Monisha’s Mantra`, we have helped many individuals to treat their carpal tunnel syndrome without any Medicine and without Surgery in following manner:

  • Anti-inflammatory diet is very important to reduce inflammation and so avoid refined sugars, sodas, white flour breads, fried foods, beef, pork,  argarine, salty foods and reduce intake of alcohol and tobacco
  • Regularly drink green tea with pinch of turmeric and pepper
  • Regularly do simple hand and wrist exercises
  • Sujok Therapy:
    1. Twist clockwise-anticlockwise the distal joint of index fingers corresponding to the wrist for a minute, 4 times daily (as shown in Pic 1)
    2. Daily apply at night a line of buckwheat seeds (kuttu) on the activated distal joints (as shown in Pic 2)
