Joint Pain

 Whether in the shoulder, hip, or elbow, joint pain can limit your movement and quality of life, but effective treatments are available.

What is Joint Pain?

Joint pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems, often caused by wear-and-tear, injury, or inflammation. It can affect simple daily activities like walking, lifting, or even sleeping. Without proper treatment, it may worsen over time and lead to long-term disability.

Types & Causes

Arthritis (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis)

Overuse injuries (sports or repetitive movements)

Cartilage wear and degeneration

Bursitis or tendon inflammation

Post-traumatic injuries

Poor posture or muscle imbalance

When Joint Pain Persists?

Passive treatments like painkillers or rest may offer temporary relief, but often don’t solve the underlying problem. When pain persists, targeted, minimally invasive solutions may be required to restore mobility and independence.
