Medical Conditions Article

Piedmont Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, P.A. offers effective, proven solutions for complex, chronic and unresolved pain. This pain may be attributed to multiple factors and caused by a number of medical conditions, including:

Venous Insufficiency

Venous Insufficiency can cause burning, itching, swollen painful legs.

While arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry it back. In order to make sure that the blood only flow in one direction, they have valves. If the valves do not work properly then blood may pool in the limbs (especially the legs). This is called reflux. It can cause swelling, burning, itching and skin color changes. Your legs may also feel heavy, tired, restless, or achy. You may feel pain while walking or shortly after stopping. This is called venous insufficiency.

Whiplash

Whiplash injury treatment in Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson, SC with a non-surgical approach

About 10 to 20 percent of the occupants of a stricken vehicle in rear-end car collisions suffer from whiplash injury. This injury is defined as a non-contact acceleration-deceleration injury to the head-neck system. It is most often caused by a rear-end car collision and there is no direct impact on the neck. Whiplash results from sudden extension and flexion of the neck — in short, a force snaps the head forward and backward. It can injure intervertebral joints, disks, ligaments, cervical muscles, or even nerve roots.

Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Piedmont Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation is pleased to offer specialized myofascial pain treatment for our Greenville, Spartanburg & Anderson area patients.

Myofascial pain syndrome (also called myofascitis) refers to pain originating from muscles that are in spasm. If you put your hand on the skin overlying the spasm, you can feel a ropy band underneath. The muscles are in the shortened position, but no work is being done. It is like a car engine that is on, but is seized. The lack of any real work being done by the muscle is what distinguishes it from a cramp. Myofascial pain is often a cause of neck and low back sprains.
