This is a list of mnemonics used in medicine and medical science, categorized and alphabetized.

In addition, selective surgical denervation of nerves triggering muscle contractions may offer relief from spasms and pain, and limit damage to the spine as a result of torqued posture. Spinal fibrosis (i.e., locking of spinal facets due to muscular contortion resulting in fused vertebrae) may occur rapidly.
Non-radicular back pain is most commonly caused by injury to the spinal muscles or ligaments, degenerative spinal disease or a herniated disc. [11] Disc herniation and foraminal stenosis are the most common causes of radiculopathy. [11] Imaging of the spine and laboratory tests is not recommended during the acute phase. [19]
Here's how it works: the physical demand for more strength when working out will cause slight damage to the muscles (the tearing that causes soreness after a workout) – don't worry, the damage ...
The number of motor neurons in an individual motor pool is highly variable and can generally be predicted by the level of nuanced control that a specific muscle requires. For example, some muscles have relatively low numbers of motor units in their respective motor pools while others, with highly nuanced control (such as the muscles in the ...
