Sports Medicine




Sports Medicine

Despite what the name implies, sports medicine is not confined to the athletic field. The branch of orthopedics consists of the treatment of injuries resulting from physical activity. These injuries can occur due to overuse, over-exertion, traumatic collision, or over-extension of the ligaments and cartilage of joints. Sports injuries can occur to any part of the body; however, the majority of sports injuries occur in the major joints, including the shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle.

Restless Legs Syndrome - How Do I Get Rid of Restless Leg Syndrome?

Occasionally a cure, remedy or treatment comes along for an ailment or condition that works and doesn't make any sense at all. That's the case for the soap cure for restless legs syndrome (RLS.) First of all let me mention that the correct spelling for restless legs syndrome is for the plural form with two legs not one leg so restless leg syndrome singular is incorrect.
What is restless legs syndrome? Not truly a sleep disorder it's thought it's a condition in which your legs feel extremely uncomfortable while you're sitting or lying down. You want to get up and move around - and doing so it goes away for the time being.
The symptoms of RLS feel like unpleasant sensations in the calves, thighs, feet or arms, and include tingling, aching and burning.
There is another related condition called PLMS which stands for periodic limb movements of sleep. Many people with RLS have this too. This causes a person to flex and extend their legs during sleep involuntarily.
