The endodontist's expertise is the most important part of saving an infected tooth from needing to be extracted. Successful treatment means the tooth will heal correctly and not require retreatment. Several other factors also affect the recovery process, some of which are in the patient's control. The amount of initial decay in the tooth will determine how stable the tooth is and how quickly it will be able to recover. Minor enough decay might mean the tooth doesn't even need a replacement crown! A front tooth will recover more quickly than a back tooth with multiple roots. Teeth used for chewing also take a lot of pressure, so patients will need to be more careful not to bite down on hard foods with them. The patient's age and health will impact recovery too. Young patients tend to heal more easily, as do patients with a strong immune system. Patients with diabetes and other chronic conditions may need to take extra precautions to ensure that their tooth heals well. The biggest thing a patient can do for their recovery is to follow post-op instructions. Avoid biting down with the treated tooth for the first few days, don't chew with it until it has fully healed, and make sure to floss daily and brush twice daily to keep the surrounding teeth and gums healthy. #RootCanal #RootCanalRecovery #RootCanalTherapy #GenevaIL #AllAboutYouDentalCare

Knock knees, medically known as genu valgum, is a condition where the knees angle inward and touch each other when a person stands with their legs straight. This misalignment is most commonly seen in children, especially between the ages of 2 and 5, as their bones develop. It is generally a normal part of growth and often corrects itself as the child ages and becomes more active. While it is commonly seen in children, it can also affect adults, often due to factors like obesity, injury, or certain medical conditions such as arthritis, rickets, or skeletal dysplasias. In adults, the condition can lead to discomfort, pain in the knees, and difficulty walking, especially if the misalignment causes abnormal wear on the joints. Treatment for knock knees depends on the severity and the age of the individual. For children, observation is often the only necessary approach, as the condition typically improves with time. In adults or severe cases, physical therapy, orthotics, or even surgical intervention may be required to correct the alignment and alleviate pain. Early intervention is important to avoid long-term joint damage. #RaiseAgainstAutism #PinnacleSaysItAll #PinnacleBloomsNetwork #1AutismTherapyCentresNetwork

Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden and severe joint pain, typically in the big toe, but can also affect other joints like the ankles, knees, hands, and wrists. It's a complex condition that occurs when uric acid builds up in the blood and forms sharp crystals in the joints, leading to inflammation, swelling, and intense pain.

Enjoyable couple of days promoting #Podiatry at the Diabetes Professional Care Conference 👣 Key stats and take home messages presented at the ‘Foot and Wound Clinic’ theatre: 🦶🏽 Over 5 million people are living with Diabetes in the UK and approximately 10% will end up with a foot problem. 🦶🏽 The risk of a person with Diabetes having a lower limb amputation is 23 times higher than in a person who does not. 🦶🏽 Over £1 billion is spent on Diabetes foot complications annually and ulcer prevention is key in clinical practice. 🦶🏽 Plantar pressure measurement is crucial for the biomechanical assessment of patients with Diabetes to optimise plantar pressure distribution and load share to reduce areas of high impulse. 🦶🏽 Objective monitoring of the biomechanical changes that occur to the foot over time and after an ulceration is encouraged. 🦶🏽 The majority of wounds will heal if there is adequate blood flow, plantar pressure relief and no microbiological burden.  🦶🏽 It is also important to accurately measure the ankle range of motion, both actively and passively, as restricted range of motion can increase plantar pressures. We have received lots of positive feedback about the clinical application of our Footscan plantar pressure measurement systems and EasyAngle range of motion measurement devices in this important area of foot and lower limb care 👣 #Diabetes #Footcare #DPC24

🩻 Flail Chest 🩻 Rib fractures are one thing, but having multiple can present a real problem. Having 3 adjacent ribs fractured in two or more places is one part of having a flail chest. The other important part is the clinical presentation-how does the chest look with inspiration and expiration? With normal inhalation the diaphragm contracts down and the rib cage moves out, while during exhalation the diaphragm relaxes and the chest cavity moves inward. When you have a flail chest, the broken ribs are separated from the rest of the chest wall. Because of this, it may cause the affected area to move inward, while the rest of the chest moves outward, causing a seesaw look. It’s what’s called a paradoxical motion. Diagnosis is two part process: * Imaging to diagnose broken ribs: can be obtained by X-ray, but a CT is the most accurate * Clinical presentation of paradoxical breathing The patient may have difficulty breathing, with short and shallow breaths and severe pain with any movement. Besides pain being a major factor in having a flail chest, inadequate oxygenation and worry for lung injury are also top priorities to consider. These patients are at high risk of respiratory decompensation so pain management, including pain medication and splinting, and education on pulmonary toileting is extremely important! Anyone know what lifesaving procedure done in the hospital can inadvertently cause a flail chest? 🩺 Taking my 13+ years of nursing experience and using it to assist in the legal field ⚖️ 📧 jessica.medina.lnc@gmail.com #expertwitness #legalnurseconsultant #medicalmalpractice #personalinjury #emergencyroomnurse #traumanurse #criticalcarenurse #nursesonlinkedin

Endometriosis is known to impact the pelvic region, but did you know it can also manifest in the thoracic cavity? Here's what you need to know about thoracic endometriosis: 🎗️ Chest pain, especially during menstruation 🎗️ Shortness of breath 🎗️ Chronic cough, sometimes with blood 🎗️ Collapsed lung (pneumothorax) during menstrual cycles Diagnosing thoracic endometriosis can be complex due to its rarity and symptom overlap with other thoracic conditions. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, don't hesitate to consult with our healthcare professionals for guidance and support. 💫 These symptoms may include: 🎗️painful menstrual cramps 🎗️heavy menstrual bleeding 🎗️irregular periods 🎗️bleeding between periods 🎗️painful sexual intercourse 🎗️digestive problems such as nausea, constipation, or diarrhea 🎗️pain during urination and bowel movements We recently asked @texasendosurgeon (Dr. Rachael Haverland) to weigh in on thoracic endometriosis - a rare and often misunderstood condition within the broader category of endometriosis. You can check out the blog here --> https://bit.ly/4bHPDJ2 And watch her full discussion from a previous Instagram Live on YouTube at the link in bio. Dr. Haverland MD, MS, FACOG treats patients in Dallas and the greater Texas area - and is experienced in all stages of endometriosis excision.

It's important to keep your circulatory health in check. Remember, you don't have to be experiencing any symptoms for there to be a significant vascular issue. If there's a family history or if you have high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoke (even 1 cigarette), or are inactive, it's a good idea to get a baseline scan to ensure your circulation is moving properly. Common underlying circulatory/vascular issue symptoms: Lower extremity swelling Lower extremity pain-especially while in motion Varicose/bulging veins Skin discoloration Stomach pain after eating Chronic pelvic pain Non healing wounds Dizziness/headaches/lightheadedness To schedule in-office testing or a consultation with one of our TOP DOC awarded surgeons, call 855-648-9982 or visit https://lnkd.in/eHdaT3J6.
