      Shoulder instability

      The term "shoulder instability" refers to the inability to maintain the humeral head in the glenoid fossa. Because the femoral head is partially enclosed by a shallow glenoid, its stability will be influenced by the surrounding soft tissue. If a shoulder ligament has less resistance (ligament hyperlaxity), joint motion will be pathologically hypermobile.

        Facets of Relief: How Osteopathy Treats Cervical Facet Syndrome

        Neck pain is the second most common musculoskeletal disorder in the general population. The prevalence of pain originating from the zygapophyseal (facet) joints in patients with chronic neck pain is estimated to be between 25 and 65%.

        Folic acid and the prevention of certain birth defects

        Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, plays a crucial role in preventing certain congenital anomalies, especially those related to the development of the neural tube in the fetus. This vitamin, essential for nucleic acid synthesis and cell division, is particularly crucial early in pregnancy when the central nervous system of the future baby is forming. Studies have demonstrated that supplementing with folic acid before and during pregnancy significantly reduces the risk of congenital anomalies such as spina bifida.It is highly recommended for women of childbearing age, even before conception, to take folic acid supplements to ensure adequate levels of this crucial vitamin. This preventive measure, combined with a balanced diet, helps ensure a healthy fetal development and minimizes potential health risks for the unborn baby. Raising awareness of the importance of folic acid in preventing congenital anomalies remains a key element of preconception care, providing future parents with a simple yet effective way to promote the newborn's health.
