Joint Pain

Strenuous exercise and aging can significantly strain our body’s joints, leading to various medical conditions. Here, we delve into some common joint pain issues and their causes:

Bursitis of the Hips

Discover the impact of bursitis, where the trochanteric bursa, a small fluid-filled sac on the femur's outer side, becomes irritated or swollen. This critical cushion for the iliotibial band—a thick tendon in your leg—can cause significant discomfort.

Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Explore osteoarthritis, a condition marked by the gradual breakdown of knee cartilage—the protective tissue on your bones' ends. In a healthy knee, bones glide smoothly against each other. However, with osteoarthritis, the cartilage wears away, causing bone to rub against bone and potentially forming painful bone spurs.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain can arise from various issues such as strained muscles, sprained ligaments, dislocations, fractures, diseases like arthritis, or even heart disease. Problems in the shoulder joint or surrounding soft tissues—including muscles, tendons, and ligaments—can significantly impact quality of life.

Knee Pain

Knee pain can originate from any part of the knee joint, including the femur, tibia, fibula, kneecap (patella), and the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage (meniscus). Whether caused by injuries, mechanical problems, arthritis, or other conditions, the severity of knee pain can range from a minor ache to disabling discomfort.
