With the onset of cold weather, the defenses of our body weaken – temperature drops, piercing wind, wet snow test immunity for strength. That is why it is in the fall that various chronic diseases become aggravated, joints “ache”, fillings fly out, not to mention colds … How to cope with a seasonal misfortune and protect your health?
Ice is a threat to joints!
The first frosts give Krasnoyarsk residents a lot of problems, pedestrians especially suffer from frosts. On ice, any wrong movement can result in injury. An unsuccessful fall and associated fractures, dislocations, sprains can lead to serious joint problems. Knee and hip joints are often affected. If the person is elderly, the injuries are even more dangerous, since the natural restoration of the cartilaginous tissue of the joints is greatly slowed down. In addition, due to cold weather, short daylight hours, the level of our physical activity is noticeably reduced, we seem to fall into hibernation.
Such a sedentary lifestyle weakens the muscles that support the joint and take some of the load off it. Because of this, even ordinary daily chores (cleaning the apartment or going shopping) can lead to microtrauma to the articular cartilage. Therefore, at the first alarming symptoms, you need to contact a specialist. Also try to avoid hypothermia and colds, dress for the weather, and strengthen your immune system.
If you have already undergone joint replacement surgery after a serious injury, then in order to get back on your feet, you need an integrated approach, which includes: medical massage, therapeutic exercises, physiotherapy, methods of social and psychological adaptation. Specialists will help restore movement in the joint, relieve pain and teach how to live with an artificial joint. The entire staff is highly qualified, has experience in rehabilitation after endoprosthetics operations and recovery from injuries, treatment of diseases of the spine and joints, and also works with children’s problems: birth trauma, dysplasia, scoliosis, etc. The result will not take long, because the main goal of any doctor – to get a positive result in the course of treatment and return the patient’s precious health.
After the holiday season in dental clinics, an emergency – patients on vacation do not regret their teeth. A sea of sweets and delicious desserts, fried meat with a crust, crispy croutons, salted nuts … And then we are surprised that the filling broke off along with a piece of enamel or the teeth destroyed caries. The absence of one or more teeth is the main “diagnosis” for the placement of implants, if there are no contraindications to this. It is impossible to hesitate with the placement of the prosthesis – the hole can not only lead to deformation of the entire jaw, but also affect the digestive organs and the spine. Implants are installed easily and take root quickly.
The material here is titanium, known for its strength, hypoallergenicity and excellent survival rate in the body. Titanium implants are of both foreign and Russian, more affordable, production. The choice is huge, so check with your doctor how durable and wearable each option will be, how long the prosthesis retains its shape and color, and how quickly it will take root. Compare all these factors, orient yourself on the price and choose a worthy option.
– Patients who, for one reason or another, have lost their teeth, can solve the problem using the unique Locator system, with which all eminent manufacturers of implants work, – says Andrey Bozhko. – It allows you to install removable dentures that do not cover the palate. They are fixed on a small number of implants, even if the patient does not have a lot of bone tissue. To do this, he takes a picture of the jaw and determines several places where the implants can be implanted. Then a removable denture is made and the Loсator system is placed on it. With its help, the prosthesis, as it were, snaps onto the buttons, sits very tightly and carries all the loads. Getting used to it is pretty quick, a day or two – and you are already with your teeth!
Titanium implants, growing together with the bone, form a single whole and can stand for life. The main thing is to maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist at least once a year.
Exercising regularly will help strengthen your back
“Something hurts my back,” colleagues often complain at the end of a working day, not noticing that they have been sitting at their desk all day in an uncomfortable position.
