Is Physiotherapy Safe For Lumber Spondylosis Treatment?
I have pain on my left leg and my Doctor, after series of examinations, recommended x-ray of my spine. The consultant radiology diagnosed cervical and lumber spondylosis. I've been advised to go for physiotherapy aimed at adjusting those points on the spine with the problem. Is this procedure safe? and does it work?

The knee cap is an important of the knee joint, which normally have a very smooth surface covered with cartilage. If it breaks, with any displacement more than 2 mm in Xray surgery is indicated. The aim is to perfectly put it back to heal in a perfect position. If it is left to heal with a big stem, you will very likely get arthritis of the knee cap and becomes chronically painful.
