Muscle sprains and tears
Maintaining muscle health is vital for mobility and strength, especially in sports and daily activities. Muscle strains and tears often occur from overstretching, sudden movements, or overuse, leading to pain, weakness, and sometimes visible bruising or swelling. Symptoms can include sharp pain at the time of injury, muscle tightness, and limited range of motion in the affected area.
Tendinitis and tendinopathy
Tendon health is crucial for smooth, pain-free movement, especially for individuals involved in repetitive activities. Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon, while tendinopathy refers to chronic tendon degeneration. These conditions cause pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.
Ligament tears
Ligaments provide stability to joints, and tears can significantly affect joint function. Ligament injuries often occur in high-impact sports or through sudden, forceful movements, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.
Stress fracture
Stress fractures are tiny cracks in bones caused by repetitive impact or overuse. These injuries are common in athletes and people engaged in high-intensity activities. Symptoms include localized pain that worsens with activity and swelling around the affected area.
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
Elbow health is essential for upper limb function and daily activities. Repetitive overuse of the forearm muscles can cause inflammation and pain in the tendons around the elbow. These conditions are common in racket sports, manual labor, and occupations that require repetitive arm movements.
Shin splints
Shin splints are a common overuse injury that causes pain along the inner edge of the shinbone, typically worsened by physical activity. This condition is common in runners and athletes who perform high-impact activities.
Runner’s knee
Runner’s knee is a term for pain around the kneecap that worsens with physical activity. This condition can result from improper alignment, muscle imbalances, or overuse, and is common among runners and athletes involved in repetitive knee bending.
