The pain originates at or near the site of attachment of the common extensors to the lateral epicondyle and may radiate into the forearm and dorsum of the wrist. () The pain they have is usually chronic in nature and more bothersome than disabling. Tenderness is located over the lateral humeral epicondyle. This is most marked when done with the elbow extended. The area of maximal tenderness is usually an area just distal to the origin of the extensor muscles of the forearm at the lateral epicondyle

The skull forms the general organs of the head. It is formed by two bones namely: cranium and facial bones. The cranium encloses and protects the fragile brain tissues whereas facial bones hold the eyes in an anterior position and allow the facial muscle to show feelings through smiles or frowns. The skull is held together by sutures which are interlocking immovable joints. Only jawbones (mandible) are attached to skull by freely movable joints. The cranium is boxlike in shape and it is made up

Rigor mortis causes the body to go stiff. It is due to an influx of calcium ions into muscle cells and promotes the cross-bridge attachment between actin and mysin. So the muscle contracts but is unable to be released due to no ATP available. So if there was an increase of ATP in the mucles exhibiting rigor mortis, the muscles will most likely relax due to ATP releasing the myosin from the actin. So the muscles that are exhibiting rigot mortis will not be as stiff and will relax back from normal

damage to the cell’s DNA that in turn causes muscle, joint, and tendon damage and inflammation. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions. Antioxidants such as vitamin C and E can play an important role in reducing inflammation, fatigue, tissue damage, and both prevent and treat injuries. This can play a major role when trying to gain muscle mass due to the fact that your muscles break down when working out. Antioxidants

As we move through our daily lives, our muscles become binded, underactive, and dysfunctional. Many of us never pay any attention to this occurrence until pain elicits a response urging us to seek medical attention. Of course, many people will turn to traditional medicine for a solution, often receiving medication to cover the pain caused; never correcting the root cause of the pain. As time moves on surgery may be suggested by the traditional practitioner and that solution only affords a few more

A biceps tendon rupture occurs when the biceps muscle is torn from the tendon to the shoulder or elbow however it is most common for the injury to occur in the shoulder. Bicep injuries tend to victimize men more often than women and between the ages of forty to sixty years of age and is caused by chronic wear of the tendon. Of course the injury also occurs in those younger than this age frame; typically these bicep ruptures are due to trauma. It is also quite possible for anyone who continuously
