Diseases and dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system
I. Rheumatic diseases:
- Osteoarthritis (primary and secondary)
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Juvenile idiopathic spine arthritis
- Reactive arthritis (Reiter’s syndrome)
- Gout
- Pseudo gout (calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate)
- Basic calcium phosphates (e.g. hydroxyapatite)
- Lupus erythematosus
- Systemic sclerosis
- Polymyositis
- Dermatomyositis
- Polymyalgia rheumatica
- Sjögren's syndrome
- Arthritis caused by other diseases
- Bone and cartilage diseases : osteoporosis , Chondromalacia patellae , hypertrophic osteoarthropathy , avascular bone necrosis , congenital hip dysplasiosteomalacia
II. Orthopedic trauma disorders:
- Post-traumatic soft tissue state requiring rehabilitation
- Post-traumatic peripheral joints and spine state with pain syndrome and reduced range of motion demanding improvements
- Pre-arthoplasty rehabilitation
- Condition after arthroplasty of joints requiring rehabilitation
- Habitual joints dislocations
- Enthesopathy (calcification), fibromyalgia, inflammation of the bursae, Baker's cyst, mixed pain syndrome
III. Chronic pain syndromes of the spine and peripheral joints on the grounds of:
- Generalized degenerative and productive changes
- Cervical and lumbar spine pain syndrome as a background of degenerative, discopathic and rotoscoliotic changes
- The overload syndrome
- Postural defects and congenital defects
IV. Nervous system diseases:
- Sciatica, cervical and brachial sciatica and consequent paresis
- Neuralgia, states after injuries of peripheral nerves and nerve plexus
- Conditions after inflammatory polyneuropathy
- Facial nerve palsy
- Conditions after a stroke
- Migraine and sleep disorders
- Multiple sclerosis in remission
- Parkinson's disease
- Conditions after spinal cord injury
- Fibromyalgia
- Post-polio conditions
- Shoulder impingement syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome
- Chronic fatigue
V. Local dysfunctions and pain syndromes
- Tennis and golfer’s elbow
- Spine dysfunctions, ears pain, headaches and dizziness
- Neck pain, torticollis
- The range of motion limitation in peripheral joints (hips, shoulders, joints of the hand and foot)
- The post-traumatic range of motion limitation in the wrist joint
- The post-traumatic range of motion limitation of the cervical and lumbosacral spine
- Temporomandibular joint disorders
- Contracture of palmar and plantar fascia
- Metatarsalgia
- Painful shoulder syndrome
- Tailbone pain
VI. Prevention:
- Muscle atrophy caused by inactivity
- Wellness
- Overload other than paralysis (of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joint capsules)
- The increase of muscle mass and muscle strength, the improvement of physical fitness
- Body shaping
Skin diseases and skin lesions
- Cutaneous psoriasis
- Chronic skin inflammation
- Allergic contact dermatitis
- Hyperkeratosis
- Scleroderma
- Occupational and industrial dermatoses
- Vitiligo
Endocrine and metabolic disorders:
- Diabetes type 1 and type 2
- Gout
- Overweight, class I obesity and class II obesity with obesity-related diseases (syndrome X)
Cardiovascular Diseases
- High blood pressure
- Peripheral circulatory disorders
- Lower extremity arterial disease
- Upper (after mastectomy) and lower extremity lymphedema
- Raynaud’s syndrome
Periodontal diseases and other diseases
- Periodontitis
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia
- Urinary incontinence due to other causes („sagging muscles”)
- Neurotic disorders
