I've heard you can have shock therapy for calcium deposits in the shoulder. How does this work?

Regional Orthopedic Center
What is calcific tendinitis? My mother had an X-ray and this is what they found that's causing her shoulder pain. What kind of anesthesia can I expect to have with a Bankart repair? I've had bad reactions to drugs in the past. I went on-line and found an article about a new way to repair shoulder separations. The surgeons used a tendon graft from one of the wrist muscles. They say it was nearly as strong as the normal joint.

My husband lost a leg while on active duty in Iraq this year. The VA wants him to be part of a study on amputees. They've given him a prosthetic device at no cost to us. Does this obligate us to be a part of the study? We're just not up to it right now. What is a resurfaced patella? I see it in the surgeon's report on my new total knee replacement. I don't remember ever hearing about that.

First, Taking 500mg Magnesium per day will help balance calcium uptake along cell membranes. Second. 500mg to 1000mg DHA along with 400IU Vitamin E and a Multivitamin will help to support up new cell membranes. However, on top of all of this, there may be an underlying disorder that needs to be addressed by a complete medical history and physical examination. Great question.

How does neural therapy work?

Neural Therapy - Frequently Asked Questions
The tissues in which interference fields are found can be shown to have abnormal cell membrane resting potential (abnormal electrical charges on the cell surfaces). This creates electrophysiological instability and abnormal afferent signals (nerve signals to the spinal cord and brain) which, in turn, trigger abnormal autonomic nervous system responses. Procaine has a membrane-stabilizing effect (much like lidocaine in treating cases of irregular heartbeat or cardiac arrhythmia).

What is laser therapy and how does it work?

Candela Laser: Cosmetic Laser Procedures for Hair Removal, A...
Laser therapy is a safe, effective, and commonly used treatment, providing optimal results in areas such as the removal of unwanted hair skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, leg veins, or tattoos; and the treatment of acne. Lasers work by delivering an intense beam of light that is absorbed by the skin. This light is converted to heat and is absorbed by the cells being targeted, while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.

How does the shoulder work, and what does the rotator cuff do?

Rotator Cuff Disorders
The shoulder is a joint with three main bones: the upper arm bone (humerus), the collarbone (clavicle), and the shoulder blade (scapula). The bones are held together by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The rotator cuff keeps the upper arm bone in the shoulder socket and lets you raise and twist your arm. The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint. The ball at the top the upper arm bone fits into the socket of the shoulder blade.

There is currently one biologic medication available in Canada for people with IBD: infliximab (Remicade®).

Specific Satanic (or similar) practices, symbols, or references are not permited (though we may make up our own symbols that really mean absolutely nothing ;).

Question - I've heard of 'shooting' a jig or a dock. What does that mean?

Crappie Fishing FAQ
Answer - Well first of all, it doesn't involve a gun. "Shooting" a jig at a dock or anything else is a form of casting a jig, without casting overhand. It is much more accurate, you do not have to worry about anything that might be overhead, and you can get your jig about as far under a dock as you want using that method of cast. A good 'shooter' can place a 1/16 oz jig between the dock and the water (that may not be more than 12" apart), back up under the dock some 20'.

I've heard about lasers being used in medicine but I'm not sure how they work. Are they safe?

PH - Centers & Programs - Interventional Radiology Suite...
Simply put, a laser is a highly concentrated beam of light. Medical lasers work by delivering this light energy to the targeted tissue with extreme precision so as not to affect the surrounding tissue. And they've proven their safety and effectiveness through years of use in all kinds of medical procedures, from ophthalmology to dermatology. In the hands of a skilled physician, lasers offer far less risk and complications than conventional surgery.

I've heard that peasants will be "smart". How does that work?

Apolyton Frequently Asked Questions
If a peasant is left alone without orders, he or she will look around for something productive to do. This includes things like working at available gather buildings such as a farm or oil well. The peasant will also help repair damaged buildings or assist in their construction. Note that peasants will NOT begin totally new construction on their own. Peasants only notice things within a limited range so they tend to remain near where you left them.
