There is no national credentialing system, and the lack of industry-wide standards worries doctors. “You need some core set of certification that allows a patient to know that they are going to someone from whom they can reliably get appropriate treatment.Just as certain conditions can be helped by extension, flexion, twisting or side bending, they can also be aggravated

TREATMENT: The patient is distressed and at times hysterical. He should be made to lean forward and should be thumped several times between the shoulder blades.

MKSol: Physical Therapy Weekly Health Report

Users who inject steroids are exposed to the same risks as addicts of other drugs that are administered in the same way: hepatitis and AIDS.

Regardless of the way in which they are used, anabolic steroids can produce:

In MEN:
- a reduction in the size of the testicles,
- a lower sperm count,
- infertility,
- baldness,
- enlargement of the male breast tissue.



In WOMEN:
- facial hair,
- changes to or cessation of the menstrual cycle,
- enlargement of the clitoris,
- deepening of the voice.


In ADOLESCENTS:
- a premature stop in growth,
- accelerated changes during puberty.

The application of cold water produces a greater stimulation of the skin and a more intense reaction of the body. There are two well-defined stages.

1- The first stage is a direct, local response to the application. When exposed to cold the blood vessels in the skin contract, reducing the flow of blood through the skin.


2- The second stage is a general, reflex-type action, which consists of reactive vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels), which increases the flow of blood through the skin, giving it a reddish appearance.

In hydrotherapy treatments it is important to always favor this second, reactive phase by:

> Covering up in bed as soon as the application has finished,
> Taking physical exercise, or
> Applying friction to the skin.
