ANKLE/FOOT
Most cases of ankle osteoarthritis are related to a previous ankle injury. The injury may have occurred years before there is evidence of osteoarthritis in the ankle. Injury can damage the cartilage directly, or it can alter the mechanics of the ankle joint.
NECK
Neck pain derives from three distinct pains:
Acute Pain occurs as a result from trauma and high tension. Chronic pain in the neck can be dull or sharp and is either intermittent or constant, which lasts longer than 6 months. Radicular neck pain occurs when damage or irritation of the nerve roots exit the cervical spine.
SHOULDER
Shoulder problems often occur when soft tissue breaks down from overuse, an acute injury, degenerative joint and bone diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, rotator cuff disease, a compressed nerve or a frozen shoulder.
HIP
Hip injuries are extremely common in people of all ages. Individuals who participate in sports have an increased risk of hip injuries. Seniors and people carrying extra weight also are at risk for hip injury.
ELBOW
The elbow joint is a synovial (fluid-filled) hinge joint with several important functions: moving your hand toward and away from your body, rotating your forearm, and flexing and extending the arm (bending and straightening the elbow).
BACK
It can creep up on you. Or it might happen slowly over time: You make an awkward movement, overdo it while exercising or you overuse your back at work or at home. Either way, a back injury can make it difficult to move freely throughout your day.
KNEE
Your knee is a complex joint with many components, making it vulnerable to a variety of injuries. Some of the most common knee injuries include fractures, dislocations, sprains, and ligament tears.
