Did you know that pain can be assessed?<\/a><\/h3>
Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with tissue damage or impending tissue damage. Clinical manifestations of pain often arise in pathological processes, affecting pain sensory nerves and producing uncomfortable reactions. \n\n \n\n One form of persistent pain is chronic pain, where pain signals are continuously sent to the nerves over a prolonged period of time. Normal sensations that persist for more than a few months can be categorized as chronic pain. It is important to recognize that chronic pain not only has a serious impact on the patient's physical condition but also has an impact on the patient's mental state. Therefore, proper management of pain is crucial to maintaining the patient's health. \n\n \n\n How can pain be assessed? \n\n Pain assessment is important to determine the intensity and determine effective therapy. Pain should be assessed as early as possible. Assessment of pain intensity can be measured using various methods, one of which is the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). This VAS scale is easy to use for anyone and is more efficient and easy for patients to understand. The visual analog scale (VAS) is the most widely used measurement method for assessing pain. This scale visually describes the gradation of pain values experienced by a patient. The pain range is represented by a 10-cm line, with a mark at each centimeter. The left end represents no pain, while the mark on the right represents the worst pain (unbearable pain). \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n Point 0 is no pain. \n 1 to 2 is pain that does not interfere with activity (mild pain). \n 3 to 4 is pain that somewhat interferes with activity (moderate pain). \n 5 to 6 is pain that has interfered with activity (severe pain). \n 7 to 8 is pain that greatly interferes with activity (very severe pain). \n 9 to 10 is pain that is unbearable so that you cannot do activities (unbearable pain). \n \n\n \n\n However, if the pain experienced has started to interfere with your activities, immediately consult Hermina Hospital Bogor to get pain treatment. The pain clinic of RS Hermina Bogor serves pain cases such as: \n\n \n Neck and head pain \n Back pain or low back pain \n Shoulder, elbow, and hand pain \n Knee pain or knee osteoarthritis \n and other cases of pain. \n \n\n \n\n Therefore, pain is not just an unpleasant experience but can be measured for effective treatment. Knowing how to measure the level of pain can help us know when is the right time to consult immediately in order to get the right treatment to overcome the pain we suffer. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Avoid Pain with Resistance Training!<\/a><\/h3>
Do you often feel pain in your legs from standing for a long time, discomfort due to waist and back pain, and fatigue easily? We can train it so that it doesn't get tired easily or get injured in that area with resistance training. \n\n \n\n Resistance training is a form of exercise that uses pulling or weight from other objects to stimulate muscle growth and endurance. This type of exercise can be done with weights, resistance bands, etc. \n\n \n\n The resistance carried out during exercise can cause tension in the muscles, which stimulates the body to adapt by increasing the resistance of the muscles being trained. This exercise can also improve overall fitness and muscle tone and help prevent injury. \n\n It is important to maintain form and technique during this exercise to avoid injury. In this exercise, it is recommended to start with a light load and increase gradually as the strength and endurance of the muscles increase. \n\n \n\n Resistance training also has many health benefits beyond just physical strength and muscle growth. Research has shown that resistance training can increase bone density, reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and even improve cognitive function. Additionally, incorporating resistance training into your exercise routine can help with weight management by increasing metabolism and promoting fat loss. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have any medical conditions or injuries. With the right guidance and consistency, resistance training can be a valuable addition to any fitness program. \n\n \n\n Some things you need to pay attention to when doing resistance training include: \n\n \n\n \n Vary your routine: To continue seeing progress and avoid plateauing, it's important to change up your resistance training routine every few weeks. This can be done by changing the exercises you do, the number of sets and repetitions, or the amount of weight you use. \n \n\n \n\n \n Allow time for rest and recovery: resistance training creates small tears in the muscles, which then repair and grow stronger during the rest period. It's important to give your muscles time to recover between workouts and prioritize getting enough sleep and proper nutrition. \n \n\n \n\n \n Incorporate functional movements: While exercises that focus on one part of the muscle (such as bicep curls) have a place in resistance training programs, it is also important to incorporate functional movements that mimic everyday activities. This can help improve overall strength and prevent injuries in everyday life. \n \n\n \n\n \n Focus on the mind-muscle connection: proper form is very important with this exercise, but it is also important to focus on the mind-muscle connection, that is, actively involving the muscles being trained rather than just doing the movement. This can help maximize results and prevent injuries. \n \n\n \n\n \n Understand your own body: as with any form of exercise, it is also important to listen to your body and not force yourself. If something in your body feels uncomfortable and causes pain, stop immediately and consult an expert, either an orthopedic doctor or a sports consultant medical rehabilitation doctor. \n \n\n \n\n Therefore, by keeping these points in mind and incorporating resistance training into your fitness routine safely and consistently, you can reap many physical and mental health benefits. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

NECK PAIN<\/a><\/h3>
Dear Hermina friends, \nAlmost all adults must have experienced neck pain, neck pain is one of the most common complaints in adults, and is a musculoskeletal disorder that is often found, especially in women of reproductive age. Research shows that neck pain occurs in 30-50% of all adults. This figure will increase with age, peaking in middle age. Work productivity is the main impact affected due to neck pain. Other studies show that 50% to 85% of total neck pain sufferers do not show complete recovery after symptoms are treated, some of whom will become chronic neck pain. \n\n \nIt should be noted that neck pain is a multifactorial disease, and is a major problem in modern society. The economic burden experienced by sufferers of neck pain is very disturbing including treatment costs, decreased productivity and work-related problems. Several studies have shown that neck pain has major risk factors such as old age, female gender, low social support, lack of physical activity, duration of daily computer use, and perceived stress. Identifying protective or risk factors, triggers, and outcomes can help guide the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of neck pain. \n\n There are risk factors that are very important to pay attention to regarding neck pain in modern times, namely psychological factors. Overall, factors such as stress, severe pain that is ignored for a long time, depressive symptoms, poor sleep quality, and alcohol consumption may play a role in a person's process of identifying and perceiving pain. Therefore, it is very important for Friends of Hermina who experience neck pain to be able to check the symptoms of neck pain experienced by a neurologist/neurologist so that they can treat the symptoms completely. \nThere are several tips that can be done if you experience neck pain, namely: \n• Neck compresses \nCompresses really help to reduce the inflammatory process in the tissues around the neck, even if the symptoms disappear completely with just a compress. It is recommended to compress the neck with cold temperatures such as ice cubes wrapped in a towel for 2-3 days, followed by warm compresses to help reduce muscle stiffness. \n\n • Stretching \nNeck stretching can stretch the muscles in the neck which contribute even up to 50% of the causes of pain. It is best to stretch slowly by moving your neck up and down, right and left, and rotating your head, and don't force the movements you make \n\n • Defining pillows while sleeping \nUsing the right pillow is very important because of the amount of time a person spends sleeping, so the position of the neck while sleeping must be right so as not to aggravate the pain. avoid using pillows that are too high or hard. \n• Avoid stress on the neck \nIt is very important to keep the neck from being burdened so as not to add to existing pain, such as lifting heavy weights, looking down for too long, for example when looking at a smartphone, and using a sling bag with too heavy contents. \n\n • Massage \nAs previously mentioned, neck pain is heavily influenced by neck muscle (musculoskeletal) factors. Light massage is proven to improve muscle stiffness and reduce pain, it is recommended that the massage be done by a professional and avoid intervening in the bones and joints of the neck. \n\n • Drug \nDrugs are proven to be able to improve and improve the quality of life of pain sufferers, of course the use of drugs must be carried out under the supervision of a doctor so as not to cause side effects which are feared to add new problems. \n\n \n\n There is a myth that Hermina's friends and friends need to know about neck pain, namely complete rest and not moving the neck at all during recovery. The fact is that staying active will help patients with neck pain more than complete rest, on the other hand, bed rest that is too long is not recommended for sufferers of neck pain or low back pain. Research shows that limited active movement actually helps speed up neck pain recovery rather than prolonged rest. \n\n So Hermina's friends, let's stay physically active to avoid neck pain. For Hermina's friends who experience neck pain, immediately consult with a neurologist at Hermina Hospital so that they can be diagnosed correctly and treated until they fully recover. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Heel Pain? Recognize Plantar Fasciitis<\/a><\/h3>
Plantar Fasciitis is a disease of the tissues under the feet that causes heel pain. Plantar Fasciitis is inflammation that occurs in the pantar fascia, which is inflammation of the tissue under the foot that stretches from the heel to the toes. The tissue under the feet serves as a support for the soles of the feet and dampens vibrations when we are walking. \n\n This inflammation can be experienced by anyone; however, this condition is experienced by many people over the age of 40. Daily activities that have a lot of heavy pressure can cause injury or tear to the plantar fascia, causing inflammation and pain in the heel. \n\n This disease has symptoms in the form of pain in the heel of the foot on the sole or edge of the foot, which can be accompanied by swelling in the surrounding soles and pain that appears gradually or suddenly. The pain is in the form of a burning feeling on the soles of the feet, and when it is severe, when you start walking, you already feel pain. \n\n The cause of Plantar Fasciitis is still not known exactly what causes Plantar Fasciitis. This condition is thought to be due to excessive pressure on the plantar fascia. Although it can happen to anyone, there are factors that can increase the risk of experiencing Plantar Fasciitis, including: \n\n \n\n \n Obesity can cause excess pressure on the plantar fascia. \n Sports can also increase the risk of plantar fasciitis, including certain types of sports such as long-distance running, ballet, and aerobics. \n Jobs that require a long-standing position \n Certain diseases, such as arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, \n And problems with the feet, such as the shape of the feet being too curved or uneven. \n \n\n \n\n In pain that lasts a long time without treatment, it can spread further up and to the tip of the finger. Inflammation in the area of the soles of the feet will cause the leg muscle sheaths to swell and thicken, so that pressure on the nerves causes pain. In addition, swelling of the muscle sheaths can also cause pain in the soles of the feet when used for support. \n\n Therefore, Friends of Hermina should avoid standing for a long time and reduce the pressure of heavy loads to avoid heel pain (plantar fasciitis). If you experience some of the symptoms, immediately consult a doctor to get the right treatment. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
