Smartphone diseases are increasing 발췌:

+Increase of cervical herniated disc, smartphone is the cause It is now taken for granted to look at a smartphone on the subway or on the bus. According to the status of smartphone -related diseases announced by the National Health Insurance Corporation, as of 2017, 5,866,511 people were related to smartphone-related diseases. As non-face-to-face communication becomes commonplace due to COVID-19 and the age of use is getting lower, smartphone syndrome is appearing not only in adults but also in adolescents. +Forward Head Posture (Turtle Neck Syndrome) When looking at the smartphone, the neck is thrust forward or the head is bowed for a long time. If you keep the neck long and look lower than eye level persistently, the normal curve of the neck, the C-shape, collapses and forward head posture appears. This is because the neck muscles cannot support the weight of the head. As forward head posture worsens, not only neck pain, but also back pain and numbness in the hands may appear which may lead to cervical herniated disc. +Dry Eye Syndrome (Xerophthalmia) & reduced vision If you focus on the screen of a small smartphone for a long time, the number of blinks decreases, the evaporation of tears increases, and the eyes become stiff, which can lead to dry eye syndrome. When tears do not properly wet the surface of the eye, their ability to wash away foreign substances or to kill bacteria is also impaired. For this reason, about half of patients with dry eye syndrome have reduced vision. It is known that about 30% will develop conjunctivitis and keratitis....

potassium increases, blood pressure decreases 발췌:

potassium increases, blood pressure decreases Potassium is a mineral that helps control blood pressure. Excessive sodium intake, which causes high blood pressure and obesity, can also be alleviated by eating a lot of potassium foods such as vegetables. However, there is a study result that the daily potassium intake of Korean adults is 85% of the 3500mg daily potassium intake set by the government. In particular, it was found that women ate an average of 7000 mg less potassium per day than men. + Potassium Intake Method Among the foods consumed by Koreans, the foods that contribute to potassium supplementation are vegetables. The contribution of vegetables is 28-33% of the total, and it has been shown that about 1/3 of the total potassium per day is consumed through vegetables. After vegetables, the food groups that contribute the most to potassium supplementation are grains, fruits, and meat. Among individual foods, the foods that contributed the most to potassium supplementation were white rice and cabbage kimchi. Potatoes, melons, sweet potatoes, and seaweed followed. Ultimately, increasing your potassium intake by increasing your fruit and vegetable intake may improve blood pressure and lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. Potassium is found in unprocessed foods, especially vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts, and is easily absorbed by the body....

Causes Of Herniated Disc, Disc Injury, Back Pain 발췌:

+ Herniated DiscAn intervertebral disc, called a disc, is a structure between each vertebra and each bone. It acts as a shock absorber. When a disc is damaged or protruded and the nerve is compressed, pain occurs. This is called a herniated disc. The most common symptoms are back pain, tingling from the bottom of the knee to the toes. + Spinal Canal Stenosis It is a disease that causes back pain due to the narrowing of the spinal canal, the space within the vertebrae.​ The main cause is degenerative degeneration, which is caused by direct pressure on the nerve trunk and nerve roots as the structures constituting the spinal canal thicken and the spinal canal becomes narrower. It usually causes a wide range of sensory loss and numbness from the hip to the calf/the ankle. The more severe the symptoms, the more painful it is that one has to rest or squat while walking. The symptoms appear as if the legs are about to burst. +Spondylolisthesis It is a condition in which the upper part of the vertebrae protrudes forward than the lower part of the vertebrae. The main causes include spinal dysplasia, fractures of the bones of the vertebrae, degeneration of ligaments and muscles due to aging of the spine, and shock from sudden trauma. When walking, back pain and numbness in the legs are accompanied. There are ways to reduce acute pain with back braces and anti-inflammatory drugs. Also, to reduce pain, injection therapy such as nerve injections and nerve block may be used. The most important conservative treatment is to strengthen the back muscles through walking, back extension exercises, swimming, and etc....

Causes and Treatment of Recurrent Ankle Injuries 발췌:

Once you have sprained your ankle, you can easily sprain it again. Why? +Ankles move constantly The ankle is a complex area. Since the delicate bones that make up the foot are connected to the leg bones with ligaments, and support the body weight by repeating bending and stretching without a break during human movement, it is also a difficult area to recover after an injury. This is also the reason why the ankle, which has been injured once, is injured repeatedly. + Foot Imbalance Another cause of habitual ankle injury is an imbalance in the foot. Feet serve to support the body weight when walking or standing, as well as cushioning against external shocks when moving. However, if the shape of the foot is out of its normal form and problems appear, it can lead to the habit of frequently spraining the ankle as the body loses its balance and abnormal gait is induced. Common foot abnormalities include flat feet, cavus foot, and hallux valgus. When you have foot deformation, it is recommended to wear functional shoes and insoles. Also, getting a consult from a specialist about orthodontic treatment, joint muscle strengthening exercises, and correct walking habits is important. +Effective Exercise-Based Rehabilitation Treatment Rest is not the only answer for ankle injuries. Exercise-based rehabilitation is the best way to prevent recurrence.Using an exercise band is effective. Hang the band on one foot and fix the other on a table leg or something firm.Move your ankle under the load of the band, but evenly move it forward, backward, and sideways.If you do this band exercise regularly, it helps a lot to prevent recurrence....

젊은 층에게 흔한 스포츠 손상 십자인대 파열 발췌:

압구정 토마스병원에 내원해 주신 22세 대학생 환자분은 최근 운동을 하다가 악~! 소리가 날 정도로 무릎을 잡고 넘어졌습니다. 평소와 같이 스쿼시를 즐기러 갔고 급한 마음에 준비운동 없이 운동을 했다고 합니다. 뛰다 멈춰서 공을 쳐야 하는 스쿼시 특성상 무릎에 강한 힘이 들어가면서 십자인대가 파열된 것 같았습니다. +십자인대 파열 원인? 십자인대는 무릎이 앞뒤로 흔들리지 않게 고정시켜주는 역할을 하는데, 교통사고나 낙상 등 직접적인 손상 원인에 의해 발생하기도 하지만, 농구, 축구, 스쿼시 등 고 부하 운동 중에 발생하기도 하는 대표적인 스포츠 손상입니다. 십자인대 파열이 일어나는 상황을 살펴보면 경기 중에 갑자기 속도를 내다가 멈춘다거나 급작스럽게 방향을 바꿀 때 무릎에는 외부 압력이 가해지고 동시에 회전력도 작용하여 이를 제어할 수 없게 되면 십자인대가 파열되게 됩니다. +십자인대 파열, 조기 퇴행성 관절염 주의 십자인대가 파열될 때 '퍽'하는 파열음 와 함께 무릎 속에서 피가 고여 손상 부위가 붓고 통증이 유발됩니다. 하지만 통증이 지속적이지 않고 며칠이 지나면 붓기가 가라앉기 때문에 타박상으로 오인해 치료시기를 놓치는 경우가 많습니다. 방치된 십자인대 파열은 주변 연부 조직, 연골판까지 손상이 될 수 있는 악순환이 되면서 조기 퇴행성관절염으로 진행될 수 있기 때문에 주의해야 합니다. +치료보다 중요한 십자인대 파열 예방법 십자인대 파열을 예방하기 위해서 평소 벽에 등을 기대고 무릎을 천천히 구부리거나 책상 위에 손을 얹고 다리를 굽혔다 피는 동작으로 무릎 근육을 단련시키는 것이 중요하겠습니다. 특히 운동을 하기 전에 반드시 무릎을 충분히 스트레칭하여 풀어준 후에 해야 합니다. +십자인대 파열 치료 십자인대 파열의 초기에는 냉찜질을 해주고 안정을 취하여 염증을 진정시켜주고 빠르게 병원을 방문하는 것이 좋습니다. 파열된 인대가 수술적 치료를 하지 않을 정도의 손상이라면 전문의의 판단에 따라 약물치료, 물리치료, 보조기 작용, 석고 고정 등 보존적 치료를 할 수 있습니다. 보존적 치료 후에도 통증이 지속되고 걷는 것이 불편하다면 인대 재건술 등 비수술적 치료를 시도해 볼 수 있습니다....
