Sean Said:

Please Doctors/physiotherapist/someone help, my back clicks and im scared..................................…

We Answered:

Joints click or 'cavitate' when the joint capsule is being stretched and the joint space increases. Theories suggest that during this process gas disolved in the liquid of the joint space releases as it goes from a high pressure to a lower pressure like when a bottle of cola is opened and you hear a noise.

Clicking sounds can also occur when tendons rub against boney land marks during movement.

Neither of these scenarios are life threatening or anything to worry about.
If you have joints that click excessively it suggests a musculo-skeletal imbalace and it is worth seeing a manual therapist to asses this and take steps to correct it.

From how you discribed the clicks happening, you really don't have anything to worry about.

Carole Said:

should i see a sports doctor or physiotherapist for my knee pain? (pfs)?

We Answered:

You need an orthopedic surgeon dude, you may have damaged your ACL on both knees. The swelling is the big symptom on this one!

You never exercise into pain...not a good idea at all.

Manuel Said:

is Physiotherapist a doctor?

We Answered:

Not necessarily, though they can earn a doctorate level qualification. In general a physiotherapist uses massage and various machines and devices to rehabilitate soft tissue damage (though they can do a lot more). Mostly a doctor refers the work to them.

This is different to chiropractors which most physios view with great suspicion.

Physiotherapist/doctor/nurse out there?? Help with making my film real!!?

We Answered:

Well a lot of dancers hurt their knees, and ankles! So any possible injuries could be:

-sprained ankle
-muscle strain
-pulled muscle

Anything simple that doesn't have too long recovery time!
Symptoms would be:

-swelling
-stiffness
-hard time walking
-joint instability
-weakness

Doctor would say:
-stay off it for a week, apply lots of ice
-keep it up
use RICE
r-rest i-ice c-compression e-elevation !!

Hope that helps! good luck!

Reginald Said:

Is a physiotherapist a doctor or not?

We Answered:

NO! A Doctor is a person licensed to practice medicine and medicine is DRUGS!
Whereas a Physiotherapist therapist who treats injury or dysfunction with exercises and other physical treatments of the disorder.
So one treats with drugs or the other treats without drugs.
