Rhizotomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove sensation from a painful nerve by killing nerve fibers responsible for sending pain signals to the brain. The nerve fibers can be destroyed by severing them with a surgical instrument or burning them with a chemical or electrical current. In most cases, rhizotomy provides immediate pain relief that can last up to several years until the nerve recovers and is able to transmit pain again.

Supination and pronation in the foot are terms used to describe the mechanics of how you stand, walk, and run. Ideally, your weight should be balanced on your feet as you move. Your feet shouldn’t lean in (pronation) or out (supination). In a proper stride, your foot should roll forward from heel to toe.

Papancha is a term rooted in Buddhist philosophy, particularly within the Theravāda tradition. It refers to the proliferation of thoughts, concepts, and mental elaborations that lead to suffering and confusion. Papancha involves the tendency of the mind to get entangled in unnecessary, often obsessive, thinking and mental formations, which can obstruct clear perception and insight.

Scraping therapy is a form of manual therapy on soft tissues where a small tool is used to gently scrape over soft tissue (fascia, ligaments, tendons, and muscles). This aids in breaking down scar tissue that results from trauma or overuse. Scraping therapy also helps promote a better healing environment by improving circulation in the acute area. Some advantages of scraping therapy include pain relief, a decrease in overall treatment/recovery time, and a reduced need for anti-inflammatory medication. You may benefit from scraping therapy if you’ve been experiencing neck pain, back pain, sprained ankle, torn tendons/ligaments, or chronic pain.

I recently had a cortisone injection to my right elbow bursitis after the elbow was drained of a lot of bursa fluid that had blood in the vile.
