$Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that involves either stretching or pressure of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. The ulnar nerve runs down from the shoulder down towards the elbow in front of the funny bone (olecranon) and continues between the muscles in the forearm and inside the hand giving sensation to the little finger and half of the ring finger, inside the palm and backside of the hand. If along the nerve there is pinching, pressure, stretching or anatomical changes this nerve may become affected giving signs and symptoms of pain, tingling sensation, loss of sensation or weakness in the hand. Common causes of Cubital Tunnel Syndrome is fracture at the elbow, which later after healing could push on the ulnar nerve; excessive bending of the elbow, such as sleeping with your elbow bent or answering phone calls or leaning on your elbow for long periods of time. In order to potentially reduce the symptoms, try sleeping with your elbow straight, not bending and leaning on your elbow and avoiding excessive, repetitious activities that require bending of the elbow. If the pain and numbness persist, the nerve may need to be examined. Ask your Primary Physician for a referral to an Electrodiagnostic Specialists for a nerve test (EMG/NCS).

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition in which the median nerve travelling through the wrist is compressed or squeezed. This nerve is surrounded by ligaments, tendons and bones that may thicken and enlarge due to many factors. These factors include either repetitive hand use, hand and palm positions that involve flexing and extending, pregnancy, genetics, carrying heavy objects or other medical conditions such as obesity, hypothyroidism, diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis. Signs and symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome start gradually leading to numbness, tingling and pain sensation in the thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. An individual may also experience a weakened hand grip, loss of feeling in the fingers and a loss of coordination in the hand. If an individual continues to experience any of these signs or symptoms, they should be seen by a specialist in the field of Electrodiagnostic Medicine, http://emg-ncv.com, (EMG/NCS).

The Quadratus Lumborum muscle starts at the top of the pelvis and runs up to the 12th rib of the lower back on both sides of the spine. This muscle is essential for proper stabilization of the pelvis when standing, sitting or walking. It is a prime source for complaints of lower back pain. Symptoms of Quadratus Lumborum Syndrome can be described as deep, dull back aching pain and a tightness or discomfort in the lower back. Coughing and sneezing could be extremely painful in the back area. The pain could also be so severe that an individual may drop to their hands and knees. There is a magnitude of potential causes of Quadratus Lumborum pain, including: Poor posture; an individual that slouches, sits without back support, or bends the lower portion of their back when sitting may make this muscle sore and tight.

At California Sports & Rehab we are on the very forefront of medical advances in regenerative medicine. This week we will discuss our technique of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy. This innovative therapy allows individuals to avoid the long, tedious healing time by injecting regenerative cells into the body that makes the cells heal faster. By injecting platelets it allows the body to naturally bind and use the newly injected cells to allow the body to reduce inflammation, improve cell growth and drastically bring pain relief. This therapy is used for patients experiencing soft tissue pain from a variety of possible sport or acute injuries resulting in joint, tendon and ligament pain. There is an array of conditions in which we use PRP Therapy to treat including joint arthritis, neck and back pain, ligament and muscle injuries, and common sports injuries. Tennis elbow, for example, is the result of excessive use and developing microscopic tears within the tendons. By using PRP Therapy an individual can expect to see a speedy recovery and an improvement in pain. PRP Therapy has brought relief and helped keep our patients active for many years. For our PRP Therapy you may schedule a consultation.

Ulnar Neuropathy The Ulnar nerve runs all the way from the neck, through the elbow and into the pinky and ring fingers. Along the way there are many opportunities for the nerve to be pinched causing pain, numbness, tingling and weakness to those areas. This week we will discuss the various ulnar neuropathies that affect the distal wrist. There are four different types of neuropathy that may affect the distal aspect of the wrist. The first type of neuropathy is where an individual will produce a weakened grip in the hands. They may not be able to hold objects as tight as before. Second, would produce the same symptoms, but severe grip weakness and an inability to keep the fingers apart. Third, again, will cause weakness of all the ulnar intrinsic muscles in the hand and an individual will experience impaired sensation at the palm side of the hand. The last type of neuropathy involves hand grip will be normal, but there will be impaired sensation at the palm side of the hand. In addition to ulnar neuropathies, there are many reasons that one can experience pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the hands such as diabetic neuropathy, ganglion cysts, pinched nerve in the neck, shoulder, arm or hand. Electrodiagnostic Studies is an excellent tool to localize the problem area. There are two parts in Electrodiagnostic studies, Nerve Conduction Study and Electromyography.

Botox for Hyperhidrosis Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which an individual sweats an excessive amount. People with this condition may excessively sweat through their clothes. If prescription antiperspirants and alternatives fail, this new treatment may be valid option! How it works Hyperhidrosis happens when the nerves responsible for activating your sweat glands are overactive. An individual only sweats when to regulate body temperature to a correct homeostasis point. This is when an individual gets too hot; they sweat to bring down their temperature. But, this condition causes an individual to produce more sweat even when they are in a right temperature. Botox injections are used to essentially paralyze those overactive nerves stimulating a sweat response. When the nerves cannot signal the sweat glands, an individual does not produce sweat from those glands. How to prepare There is minimal amount of work needed to do to prepare for this procedure. In order to prepare we ask you to not shave your armpits two to three days prior to your scheduled procedure and to stop taking blood thinners in order to prevent bruising. After the procedure A patient can continue with their daily activities normally. You will see results two to seven days in the treated areas after the procedure. Usually we reschedule to see a patient two weeks after the procedure to have a check up and touch up any potentially missed areas. We provide compassionate care for individuals that may be uncomfortable with their under arm sweating. Botox has been proven to be highly effective in treating underarm sweating. To schedule an appointment or consultation please call California Sports & Rehab at 310-652-6060.
