Arthritis
Arthritis is a collection of diseases that cause joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain. The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis — the degenerative form of the disease. It develops as the cartilage in your joints wears away and leaves your bones unprotected.
Tendonitis
Tendinitis is a painful condition characterized by an irritated or inflamed tendon. Tendons are cords of thick, strong tissue that attach your muscles to your bones. Tendinitis can occur anywhere throughout the body, but it’s especially common in the knees, wrists, heels, shoulders, and elbows.
Herniated Disc
A herniated disc can then occur when there is a tear in the weakened outer wall and it opens up allowing fluid to leak out and irritate the nearby nerves. The disc matter can cause pressure on the nerve which leads to pain down the arm or leg. A herniated disc can be the result of trauma or degeneration.
Sciatica
Sciatic pain can be intermittent and annoying, to feeling completely debilitating. It is based on the location of the nerve that is being pinched. The Sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the body, made up of individual nerve roots that come out of the lower back and combine into one nerve.
Whiplash
Whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) can be exhibited as a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck called extension. Although it is commonly associated with rear-impact motor vehicle accidents, the injury can be sustained in many other ways, including falls from bicycles, chairs and stools, or even horses.
Facet Syndrome
If you are experiencing localized back pain near your spine during movement, you may have a condition known as facet syndrome. Facet syndrome is a condition characterized by the decay of the facet joints in the vertebrae of the spine. This can lead to serious pain and difficulties moving.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal Stenosis has a gradual onset and is usually not noticeable. While spinal degeneration is typically a slow process that occurs from natural wear and tear over time, it can be accelerated by an injury to the spine. Bone spurs, herniated discs or inflammation are usually the culprit causing stenosis. If the cervical spinal canal narrows and becomes too limited, the compression can cause neurologic deficits.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that causes widespread pain throughout your body, as well as fatigue and other cognitive symptoms. Fibromyalgia might be due to abnormal neurological activity that affects the way your brain processes pain signals.
