Shoulder bursitis is inflammation of a bursa, a fluid-filled sac, in the shoulder joint. This inflammation is often due to repetitive motion or injury. Effective treatment and prevention are based on the reasons that you develop the condition.
Chondromalacia patella, often called runner's knee, happens when cartilage under the kneecap deteriorates.1 Exercises that strengthen leg muscles and improve flexibility can help relieve the pain associated with this condition.
The four stages of frozen shoulder include pre-freezing, freezing, frozen, and thawing. Frozen shoulder can take a long time to heal, anywhere from six months to 2 years.
Exercises for hip tendonitis focus on reducing pain and enhancing mobility by strengthening the hip flexors. These targeted movements help prevent future irritation and improve overall hip function.
The hamstring muscles are three large muscles that run down the back of the thigh and help control the hips and knees. They're key to mobility, including walking and playing sports, but injuries are common and can include muscle strains, flatback syndrome, spinal disc injury, and sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction.
It's common for your muscles to feel sore after a workout, particularly if it's a new exercise for you or a more intense session. Experts call this delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and it happens after physical activity that puts an unaccustomed load on your muscles. Whether muscle soreness is mild and barely noticeable or extremely painful, there are several ways in which to relieve discomfort and possibly recover faster.
Common types of shoulder surgeries include rotator cuff repair, total shoulder replacement, and arthroscopy for conditions like frozen shoulder or impingement syndrome. In general, these and other shoulder procedures help treat shoulder injuries by repairing or replacing cartilage, tendons and ligaments, muscles, and joints.
If you have pain in your upper arm or shoulder, you may have irritated your biceps tendon, a condition known as biceps tendonitis. The pain may limit your shoulder motion and make performing normal work and recreational tasks difficult or impossible. You should see a healthcare provider who can diagnose biceps tendonitis and refer you to a physical therapist for treatment.
Hip osteoplasty is a surgical procedure that treats femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).1 It involves reshaping the bone around the hip joint with the goal of improving function and reducing pain.
A hip labral tear is an injury to the ring of cartilage (the labrum) around the hip socket. The labrum is essential for hip joint stability. The cartilage rim deepens the socket and helps hold the leg bone in place while allowing movement and flexibility.
