The main directions and pathological conditions
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD)
    Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory processes affecting the entire intestine or part of the gastrointestinal tract (GI). This typically leads to abdominal pain and diarrhea, and sometimes extraintestinal symptoms may occur: joint inflammation, skin rashes, immune deficiencies, and metabolic disorders.
  • Diabetes and prediabetes
    Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are consistently slightly above normal, but not high enough for a person to notice or feel it themselves. The emergence of prediabetes indicates that carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body is already disrupted. This condition is often referred to as hidden diabetes, which can progress over time to type 2 diabetes.
  • Excess body weight
    Excessive fat deposits in subcutaneous tissue, organs, and tissues. It manifests as a body weight increase of 20 percent or more above average values due to adipose tissue. It causes psychological and physical discomfort, sexual disorders, spine and joint diseases. It increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes mellitus, kidney, and liver diseases.
  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
    Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a pathological condition characterized by an increased quantity of bacteria in the small intestine, leading to the development of diarrhea syndrome or constipation. This results in the malabsorption of nutrients, leading to depletion, anemia, intoxication, and weight loss. This condition is also referred to as a specific case of intestinal dysbiosis.
  • Acne
    Acne (inflammatory formations on the skin, acne vulgaris) is the most common disorder of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles of the skin, occurring from infancy to old age. Acne ranks second in frequency among skin disorders worldwide after eczema. For some patients, acne is an inherited condition (explained by the peculiarities of the structure of the sebaceous glands and genetic susceptibility to pathogens). Giving an exact prognosis is very difficult, so it is important to identify the causes of the disease and eliminate them as much as possible to avoid adverse consequences.
  • Metabolic disorder
    Metabolism is an essential process accompanying all life activities. Imbalances and disruptions in this metabolism become the cause of serious pathologies. In the initial stages, signs of metabolic dysfunction include brittle hair and nails, problematic skin, and excess weight. Issues with appearance are just the first indicators of emerging disorders that can lead to more serious consequences. Therefore, it is important to pay close attention to disruptions in the body's functioning.
  • Body blocks
    Body blocks are partial or complete restrictions of mobility in a motor segment or joint. These blocks (or clamps) arise from internal psychological conflicts and the inability to accept negative emotions. Clamps lead to fatigue, breathing difficulties, mood swings, anxiety, circulatory disorders, and chronic pain. Therefore, it is important to seek timely assistance from a specialist.
  • Sleep and wakefulness disorders
    Sleep disturbance, insomnia, is a generalized term implying poor sleep onset, sleep maintenance issues, and early awakening. Sleep disturbance to some extent is experienced by almost half of the adult population. As a result, during sleep, a person cannot fully restore energy and functionality, which decreases the quality of life. Disorders of circadian rhythms cause psychoemotional disturbances and increase the risk of endocrine and cardiovascular problems.
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
    Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is characterized by rapid fatigue that persists even after prolonged rest, unexplained irritability, sleep disturbances, decreased overall body tone and immunity. A person feels depleted, shattered, and suppressed. With prolonged duration, individuals may fall into depression.
  • Psychosomatic disorders
    Psychosomatic disorders (PSD) are a group of somatic illnesses and functional disturbances that arise due to the influence of psychological factors. Psychosomatic disorders belong to the group of mental disorders, although they manifest as dysfunction of organs and systems.
  • Endocrine disorders
    Endocrine diseases are a very large group of disorders characterized by dysfunction of the endocrine organs, namely the glands of internal secretion. Endocrine organs secrete hormones, each of which performs specific functions. The essence of endocrine diseases lies in the disruption of hormone production—either an excess or deficiency—which leads to various complications associated with this pathology.
  • Autoimmune diseases
    Autoimmune diseases are pathologies that occur when the immune system improperly performs its functions. The process affects the entire body or groups of organs, making the disease complex or systemic. Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks the body's own cells, mistakenly perceiving them as foreign. Such pathologies are often misdiagnosed or not detected at all because their symptoms resemble those of other conditions.
  • Musculoskeletal disorders
    Musculoskeletal disorders are a group of diseases affecting the bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissue. They can be inflammatory, pathological, neoplastic, or of other types. They often arise as independent conditions but can sometimes be symptoms of other diseases.
    The main symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders include joint pain, muscle pain, and spine pain, which may worsen with movement or changes in weather.

  • Disorders of the nervous system
    Neurological disorders can have both organic and functional characteristics, affecting the central nervous system (CNS - brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nerves. Organic CNS disorders are caused by Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, strokes, traumatic brain injuries, neuroinfections, and metabolic disorders.
    These diseases often present with cognitive impairments such as disturbances in thinking and memory, as well as loss of everyday and professional skills. Addressing cognitive impairments may require significant time and effort. Functional impairments (such as migraines, neuroses, and neurosis-like disorders) tend to have a prolonged course but respond well to treatment.
    Disorders of the peripheral nerves can be inflammatory (neuritis, radiculitis, sciatic nerve compression) or non-inflammatory (neuropathies). They manifest as pain (neuralgia), sensory disturbances, and movement disorders.
  • Infectious diseases
    Infectious diseases are disorders caused by microorganisms or microbes such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites. There are trillions of microbe species, but only a few thousand are pathogenic organisms or pathogens. In fact, many species live in the human intestine and on the skin, forming the so-called resident (normal) microbial flora, which protects our body. Specifically, microorganisms of normal flora produce substances capable of killing pathogenic microorganisms. Such competition is highly beneficial for humans: the good microbes eliminate the bad ones.
    Resident flora is usually harmless but can cause illness in people with weakened immune systems. Resident bacteria can also cause infection if they enter parts of the body presumed to be free of microbes, which can happen during injury.
    Infectious diseases can be acquired through various routes:
    • Through direct or indirect contact with an infected person;
    • Through consumption of contaminated food products;
    • Use of contaminated medical devices;
    • From an infected mother to her child during pregnancy or childbirth;
    • Through contact with infected animals, animal waste, or via bites from infection-carrying insects such as mosquitoes, ticks;
    • Pathogenic microorganisms can be inhaled as contaminated aerosol droplets, ingested with food or drinks, or enter the nose, mouth, or eyes when people touch contaminated objects and then touch their face.
