Modic changes are edema in the vertebral body, which can only be detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and are closely associated with low back pain. There is growing evidence their formation may be related to bacterial infection. According to this herniated disc treatment services, herniated discs may be susceptible to bacterial infection and these infections may cause Modic changes. In patients with Modic changes antibiotic treatment appears to reduce symptom severity, although alternative methods of bulging disc treatment could be considered.

Intro
The clinical audit process is the process of applying a test or multiple tests with a patient. This may include a staff member taking samples from the patient for testing. Hospital staff should be wearing masks and examination gloves, and handle the samples carefully so as not to contaminate them. Then applying an intervention or combination of interventions and then re-assessing the original test or tests. This process can be conducted over a period of minutes or months. Many healthcare centers, including Rego Park Urgent Care, have adopted this approach to enhance patient care quality...
Shirley Sahrmann’s (2002) movement diagnosis approach is undoubtedly one of the most clinically useful orthopedic medicine study I have read. She states that the patient’s directional susceptibility to movement or the path of least resistance is the direction the patient is most likely to get injured in. For example a patient with an increased lumbar curve, or extension dysfunction is more likely to get inflammation in the lumbar spine facet joints than a patient with a reduced lumbar curve who is more likely to suffer intervertebral disc related pathology.
In practical application there are...
Calcium dumping syndrome is a traditional naturopathic concept and not recognised medically (Plaskett 2008). In naturopathy the condition is linked with arthritis, spondylitis, gallstones, renal stones and arterial atheroma. If you would like kidney related guidance visit www.thekidneydocs.com/. Naturopaths state that as a result of calcium dumping syndrome the symptoms of calcium deficiency can occur in the presence of ample dietary calcium. The result is that calcium is excreted from bone and either excreted or deposited in tissues throughout the body. Dietary calcium deficiency is very rare...
