Image Source: https://www.jaaos.org/content/9/2/99/F11.expansion The ulnar nerve is a single nerve that arises from a group of nerves called the brachial plexus. It runs down the inner aspect of the arm, behind a bony prominence on the inner side of the elbow called the medial epicondyle. And, it runs all the down to the hand, supplying sensation to the muscles of the forearm and hand along the way.

Physiotherapy for Spine Alignment
For diagnosing spinal alignment, posture and movement of your spine will be assessed. If there are issues causing or adding more pain to your problems, postural re-alignment will be included as a part of your treatment.

While causes of these disease vary and are inconsistent, the most common ones are aging, autoimmune disorders and allergies.Patients suffering from vestibular hypofunction have an array of physical and functional limitations. Such limitations have a major impact on their everyday activities. Some of them are constant dizziness and postural imbalance. For instance, people

Neck pain is a common experience among people, but a lesser-known fact is the reason that causes it. Nerve damage and nerve pain are often symptoms of a nerve being pinched or entrapped. A pinch in the nerve, also called cervical radiculopathy is generally a consequence of injuries to structures adjacent to the nerve. A nerve pinch can occur almost anywhere in the body, but it is most common in the nerves of the neck. When a pinched nerve affects a patient they tend to experience high intensity arm pain, weakness and altered reflexes. How can physiotherapy help? Once you know the cause
