The latter include accidents, overexertion and problems due to rheumatic and other autoimmune or metabolic diseases. For the appropriate treatment, the causative factor has to be found first. This can be achieved by thoroughly reviewing medical history and with the help of physical, laboratory, X-ray, MRI, CT, muscular and nerve function tests.
The best results can be achieved with prevention or causal therapy in the early stage of a disorder. It is inadvisable to wait until the disease “goes away on its own” since persistent symptoms may have serious, permanent consequences.
