Here are some non-medication treatments commonly recommended for heel pain: rest: avoid activities that aggravate the pain and give your heels time to rest and heal. Ice: apply ice packs to the affected area for about 15-20 minutes several times a day to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Stretching exercises: perform gentle stretching exercises for the calf muscles and plantar fascia to improve flexibility and reduce tension in the heel area. Footwear: wear supportive shoes with good arch support and cushioning to reduce strain on the heels. Avoid flat shoes or high heels that may exacerbate heel pain. Orthotic inserts: consider using orthotic inserts or heel cups to provide additional support and cushioning for your heels. Night splints: use night splints while sleeping to keep the foot in a neutral position and stretch the plantar fascia and achilles tendon. Physical therapy: a physical therapist can provide specialized exercises and treatments to alleviate heel pain and improve foot mechanics. Weight management: maintain a healthy weight to reduce pressure on the heels and minimize strain on the feet. Avoid barefoot walking: avoid walking barefoot, especially on hard surfaces, to prevent further irritation to the heels. If conservative treatments do not provide relief, your healthcare provider may recommend other interventions such as corticosteroid injections, shockwave therapy, or surgery in severe cases.

That is called as lumbar vertebrae. And there are 5 lumbar vertebrae and the 5th lumbar vertebrae is always is located in the lower end where the body weight is taken and it is generally fused with sacral vertebrae. That is where the sciatic nerve passes by and the nerve gets compressed that's the reason you have pain and sensation is disturbed. Loss of concavity of l4-l5 vertebrae. It is other wise called as the lumbo sacral curve which is very important for the spine to take the entire weight evenly if not it leads to disturbance of the disc and also the vertebrae which makes the spine to loose its concavity that's why it is called as loss of posterior concavity. For which we need to improve the spine posture and we need to adapt good posture during our day to day life activities. I have pain in my left side leg. This should be due to the sciatic nerve compression in the right side probably close to your l5 vertebrae. It can also be due to the strain on the left leg, try wearing mcr chappals which would help you to get relieved from pain.

It sounds like you may be experiencing knee pain due to overuse, possibly exacerbated by a hereditary predisposition to knee issues. Here are some steps you can take to manage your knee pain and improve your symptoms: rest and ice: give your knees adequate rest to allow them to recover from overuse. Apply ice packs to the affected area for 15-20 minutes several times a day to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Elevate: when resting, elevate your legs to reduce swelling and promote circulation. Avoid high-impact activities: limit activities that put excessive stress on your knees, such as running, jumping, or heavy lifting. Instead, opt for low-impact exercises like swimming, cycling, or walking to maintain fitness without exacerbating knee pain. Strengthening exercises: perform gentle strengthening exercises to improve the stability and support of the muscles around your knees. Focus on exercises that target the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles, as well as exercises to improve hip and core strength. Stretching: incorporate regular stretching into your routine to improve flexibility and range of motion in your knees. Focus on stretching the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and it band to relieve tightness and reduce strain on the knees. Proper footwear: wear supportive and cushioned shoes with good arch support to reduce impact on your knees during daily activities. Weight management: maintain a healthy weight to reduce pressure on your knees and minimize strain. Losing excess weight can significantly alleviate knee pain and improve overall joint health. Hot/cold therapy: alternate between hot and cold therapy to reduce pain and inflammation. Use a heating pad or warm compress to relax muscles before gentle exercise, and use ice packs after activity to reduce swelling and pain. Consider orthotics: if you have flat feet or other foot alignment issues, consider using orthotic inserts or custom-made shoe inserts to provide additional support and alignment for your knees. Consult a healthcare professional: if your knee pain persists or worsens despite self-care measures, consult with a healthcare professional, such as an orthopedic specialist or physical therapist, for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan. They can help determine the underlying cause of your knee pain and recommend appropriate interventions, such as physical therapy, bracing, or other treatments.

Pushups this one may seem basic, but there’s no denying that pushups are one of the best ways to strengthen the pectoral muscles. These can be done on the knees or toes. If you’re not ready for full pushups, start with your hands resting on a solid surface higher than your feet — like a very sturdy coffee table or the edge of a couch, cushions removed, that’s pressed up against a wall — and start on the toes. Having your hands higher than your feet and your body at an angle can be a good way to start a pushup regimen. As you get stronger, you can begin to lower the angle of your body. This will help you transition to full pushups more easily than going from knees to toes. A full plank engages the muscles differently, even at an angle. When doing pushups, aim for 2 sets of 10 reps per day. 1.start in plank position with your hands under your shoulders and your core engaged. 2.as you lower, inhale. 3.as you engage your muscles to push yourself up, exhale. Keep your elbows hugging in close to your body. Keep your focus on slowly breathing as you do these, and on engaging the pectorals while keeping the core tight. Don’t just crank these out to get them done — this can compromise your form and do more harm than good. If the movement is really tough, break the sets into three or five to start, or find a higher point to begin after a week of exercise. If necessary, you can even stand and do pushups pushing against a wall. Chest fly for this exercise, you’ll need a bench or exercise ball as well as some dumbbells. If you don’t have weights, you can always use the old standby: a soup can in each hand. Just keep in mind that dumbbells are easier to hold and you can get more out of using them, as even 5-pound weights are heavier than your heaviest canned goods. 1.lie with your upper and middle back on a bench or ball, with your legs at a 90-degree angle. Hold a weight in each hand and extend your arms to the sky, elbows slightly bent. 2.as you inhale, lower your arms out wide, until your elbows are at shoulder height. 3.as you exhale, raise your hands until they meet above your chest again. 4.do 2 sets of 10. If that feels pretty easy, up it to 2 sets of 15 or increase the weight you’re using. Dumbbell row strengthening your back muscles is an important component of treating pectusexcavatum. The dumbbell row targets your lat muscles. The way it’s described below also strengthens your core, another important component of treating the condition. You’ll need some dumbbells to complete this move — err on the lighter side if you’ve never done a row before. 1.hold one dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended. Hinge at the hips until your upper body reaches a 45-degree angle. 2.keeping your neck in line with your spine and your gaze straight down, pull your elbows straight back and squeeze between your shoulder blades. 3.extend your arms back to the starting position. Complete 2 sets of 10. Dumbbell rear delt fly another move to strengthen your back, a dumbbell rear delt fly also focuses on the lats, as well as the rhomboids and the traps. Choose a light pair of dumbbells to complete this move and ensure that you’re pinching your shoulder blades together at the top to get the most out of it. 1.hold one dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended. Hinge at the hips until your upper body reaches a 45-degree angle and bring the dumbbells together. 2.keeping your spine and neck neutral, inhale and push the dumbbells out and up to the side until your arms are parallel to the floor. 3.exhale and return to the start in a slow and controlled motion. Complete 2 sets of 10. Exercise is a key component to treating pectusexcavatum. By strengthening your chest, back, and core muscles and stretching your chest cavity, you can combat the condition’s effects. Aim to complete these exercises several times a week to maximize results. Anterior pelvic tilt 1.lie on the back with the knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. 2.squeeze the buttocks and tilt the pelvis upward. 3.the back should feel as though it is flattening to the ground. 4.return to normal pelvis position. 5.repeat 10–12 times.
