Can sports injuries that arise spontaneously ever truly be simple? After all, a patient may have been practicing a particular sport for years, often without any changes to their training or competition schedule. Why, then, do symptoms suddenly appear now? If you take everything for granted and stop asking questions, you stop learning. I still have many questions. <\/p>\n
For instance, I saw a 51-year-old patient. He had been running regularly for years, covering long distances. He began experiencing cramps in both calves, specifically while running. <\/p>\n
My examination revealed excessive tension in a section of the spinal cord, specifically at the level of the 10th thoracic vertebra. Running caused an unpleasant vibration in this part of the spinal cord, resulting in overstimulation of the calf muscles. <\/p>\n
The cause? I believe this problem originated from a specific injury, most likely when he was 19 years old. I asked the patient if he could recall a significant injury. He could. At that age, while cycling, he had been struck from the side by a car and landed on the hood\u2014an impact the spinal cord is not equipped to handle. <\/p>\n
Understanding the problem forms the foundation for a positive approach by the osteopath.<\/p>\n
After two treatments, the patient was able to run again without any complaints. We have agreed to re-evaluate the situation in three months. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
