There is one muscle in the body that when weak can cause real issues in your SI joints, low back, and hips. It is rarely tested when we see a doctor. If we don’t know it is weak and don’t know a plan to strengthen it we can spend months or years in pain not knowing how to get lasting relief.

In this video I help you understand the gluteus medius anatomy, function, and what happens when it is weak. I share how we test this muscle strength in our office using a digital tool, but also how you can perform a self-assessment of the gluteus medius strength in your own home.

I then talk through three simple strengthening exercises that can be done at home without any equipment. These exercise are usually a good entry level point for people who have determined they have gluteus medius weakness and who are struggling with some back, SI joint, or hip pain.

The first exercise is the Standing Lateral Leg Raise. It is a great gluteus medius exercise because it works your standing leg gluteus medius isometrically while also strengthening the leg you are raising. Additionally, it is a good core exercise and helps with balance.

The second exercise is a Clamshell exercise. This exercise is fairly well known, but I give a few different variations on the clamshell and a key focus on how to get the most benefit out of this hip external rotator exercise.

The last exercise is a Standing Single Leg Wall Press. It is deceptively simple to do, but it really gets your gluteus medius working.

All of these exercise can be done at home and with no special equipment. And when the gluteus medius muscle gets strengthen people usually notice that they have better balance, feel more agile, and many times their back, hip, and/or SI joint pain decreases or goes away.

If a gluteus medius muscle is weak and we don’t address that weakness then the altered biomechanics continues the person continues to put wear and tear on their SI joints, back, and hips which can lead to early degenerative changes and pain.

Public Health – Concepts of Health and Its Determinants
Whiteboard Animation Transcript
with Natalie Lovesey, MD
https://medskl.com/Module/Index/concepts-of-health-and-its-determinants

What is “health”? A useful definition comes from the World Health Organization: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

“Wellness” refers to the presence of positive attributes in one’s life – well-being, quality of life, happiness, and satisfaction. “Illness” is a person’s subjective experience of feeling unwell. A “sickness” is a socially and culturally defined entity. Finally, a “disease” is the pathologic process going on in the body.

For example: a person experiences chest pain – this is their illness. They fear a heart attack – a sickness – which causes them to seek help. The doctor explains to the patient that he has pericarditis – a disease.

So, what determines how healthy someone is?

The determinants of health include genetics and biology, but they also include social factors. Many of these social determinants of health are as important as physical factors like smoking status, blood pressure, and exercise.  They include income, social support networks, education, and social exclusion, for example.

Why do these social factors matter so much?

The common theme is stress. When income is low, employment opportunities are few, and social support networks are limited, people have difficulty meeting their basic needs, and have uncertainty about their future. This chronic stress takes a toll on the body – contributing to many chronic diseases – and may also lead to unhealthy coping behaviours.

So, when talking to your patients, consider their social context. Factor it into your clinical decision-making. And remember that health is more than just being “disease free,” and means different things to different people.

Summary:
1. Start your day with a magic drink
Yes, there is a magic drink that can bring your pH balance to the right level. But you need to drink it daily. Before I reveal this drink, you need to know the ideal pH level of your body.

2. Exercise your way to a healthy pH level
When you exercise hard, your body increases its breathing rate and circulation. This causes you to breathe deep, which removes more carbon dioxide from your body. As a result, you experience alkalizing effects.

3. Eat these Awesome Foods
Foods help maintain your body pH levels tremendously well. Here is a quick lay down on what to eat to maintain your pH levels.

Jalapeno:
Those green, spicy toppings on your pizza play a deeper role than you think. Jalapenos belong to the pepper family and are alkaline in nature. This means when eaten, they promote alkaline levels in your body.

Asparagus:
Now this isn’t exactly the best topping for your pizza, but it’s great on its own. Asparagus is rich in alkaline properties. The high level of pH makes it an excellent choice if you are acidic. Asparagus has a pH factor of 8.5. This helps you combat acidity issues.

Grapes and Pineapple:
You need these two fruits! They have an alkalizing effect on your body, along with multitudes of healing properties. These delicious fruits work like magic to balance your body’s pH level.

​Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is a condition characterized by obsessions and/or compulsions. Although the neuroscience of OCD is not completely understood, in this video I discuss one supported perspective on what happens in the brain to cause the obsessions and compulsions that occur in OCD.

For a more in-depth discussion of the neuroscience of OCD (on my website), click this link: https://neuroscientificallychallenged.com/posts/know-your-brain-obsessive-compulsive-disorder-ocd

TRANSCRIPT:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, is a condition characterized by obsessions and/or compulsions. Obsessions are recurrent unwanted thoughts, while compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts often performed in response to obsessions, typically with the goal of reducing anxiety and discomfort. It’s important to note that OCD is often very distressing, and is not just a preference for orderliness, as the term is sometimes used to imply.

The neuroscience of OCD is not completely understood, and it’s likely that different neural circuits may be involved based on a person’s age and symptom profile, among other factors. One supported perspective on the neuroscience of OCD, however, points to a prominent role for circuits that connect the orbitofrontal cortex with a group of structures called the basal ganglia. According to this perspective, increased activity in the orbitofrontal cortex is associated with a heightened focus on concerns that spawn obsessive thoughts. When the orbitofrontal cortex is activated in response to something the brain perceives as a danger or concern, it communicates with the basal ganglia. A simplified version of basal ganglia circuitry suggests it consists of two opposing pathways: an excitatory pathway called the direct pathway, and an inhibitory pathway called the indirect pathway. When the orbitofrontal cortex sends a signal to the basal ganglia, it often leads to an action designed to alleviate the discomfort caused by the perceived danger; that action is mediated by the direct pathway. In a healthy person, the indirect pathway then inhibits further action. In someone with OCD, however, the direct pathway is over-excitable, drowning out the activity of the indirect pathway and causing a difficult time switching to a different behavior or turning focus away from the concern causing the discomfort. Thus, according to this model, overactivity in the orbitofrontal cortex and the direct pathway of the basal ganglia increases the occurrence of both obsessions and compulsions.

Our identities, societies, and health are all mixed together in cool, weird, and often deeply unfair ways. One of the big factors that comes out of that mix is stress. Stress impacts our health in a number of ways. In this episode of Crash Course Public Health, we’re going to go beyond the basics and look at the ways society affects our stress, which in turn impacts our health.

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the conditions of arthritis of the fingers

Arthritis of the Fingers
Diagnosing arthritis of the fingers can be difficult. Arthritis can affect any joint in the body but it is commonly seen in the joints of the fingers. The different types of arthritis and the pattern of joint involvement include osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gouty arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis. Heberden’s nodes are hard or bony swellings that can develop in the distal interphalangeal joints (DIP) and may or may not be painful. Heberden’s nodes are caused by the formation of osteophytes due to repeated trauma at the joint and usually occurs during middle age. Bouchard’s nodes are bony growths that can form on the proximal interphalangeal joints of the finger (PIP). Bouchard’s nodes, like Heberden’s nodes, may or may not be painful. Bouchard’s nodes are typically associated with limited motion of the affected joint. Mucous cysts are small, fluid-filled sacs that form between the DIP joint of the finger and the bottom of the fingernail. The best treatment is surgical excision of the cyst and removal of the underlying osteophyte to decrease the risk of recurrence. It is an anti-inflammatory form of arthritis, and it is sometimes mistaken for osteoarthritis. Dactylitis is also referred to as “sausage digit”. It is inflammation of the entire digit. Sausage fingers is a major finding of psoriatic arthritis. Nail pitting is small depressions in the finger nails, and it is most common in people who have psoriasis. Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis that is sometimes called “gouty arthritis”. Gouty arthritis will mimic infection and may develop in people who have high levels of uric acid in the blood. The uric acid can form needle like crystals in the joint and cause pain, tenderness, swelling, and tenosynovitis. Periarticular erosions seen on x-ray may also be present with gout of the finger joints. Periarticular erosions are usually multiple and bilateral with sclerotic borders. In juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, it is ANA positive in 30% of the time. Rheumatoid factor is negative in a child and later on it may become positive, and there is shortened digits. Polyarticular rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that affects five or more joints; it is polyarticular in about 30%. Pauciarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that affects less than five joints; it is pauciarticular in about 50%. In pauciarticular onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis, check the iris of the eye for iridocyclitis. In polyarticular rheumatoid arthritis, check cervical spine for subaxial instability. Rheumatoid arthritis of the hand occurs more in females than in males. Rheumatoid arthritis has spontaneous remissions and exacerbations. The disease can have a systemic nature. Rheumatoid arthritis is typically poly-articular, bilateral and symmetrical, and most commonly affects the hands and feet. The patient complains of pain and stiffness of the joints, especially in the morning (morning stiffness). X-rays show periarticular erosions at the time of diagnosis. Osteopenia and minimal osteophyte formation favor the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Early (acute) rheumatoid arthritis has symptoms of hot, swollen, tender joints (synovitis). Complicated rheumatoid arthritis has symptoms of digital vasculitis, ecchymosis, skin atrophy, and nodules. Advanced rheumatoid arthritis has symptoms of swelling of the MCP joint, lateral slippage of extensor tendons and tendon ruptures, ulnar deviation of fingers, and x-ray shows destruction of the MCP joints with subluxation, ulnar deviation, and wrist destruction. Finger deformities include mallet finger, boutonniere, and swan neck. The thumb is also involved. These changes occur due to proliferation, inflammation and hypertrophy of the synovium. Involvement of the distal radioulnar joint is usually associated with rupture of the extensor digiti minimi.
