Arm & Upper Extremities

• Arthritis: Joint inflammation in the hands or wrists, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.
• Cubital Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the ulnar nerve, leading to numbness or tingling in the ring and little fingers.
• De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis: Inflammation of the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist, leading to pain and difficulty gripping.
• Elbow Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa at the tip of the elbow, often due to repetitive pressure or trauma.
• Fractures: Breaks in the bones of the elbow, typically caused by falls or direct impact.
• Golfer’s Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Similar to tennis elbow but affecting the inner side of the elbow.
• Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Overuse injury causing pain and tenderness on the outer part of the elbow.
• Trigger Finger: A condition where fingers catch or lock in a bent position due to inflammation around the tendons.
• Wrist Fractures: Breaks in the bones of the wrist, often caused by falls or accidents.

Hip Conditions

• Avascular Necrosis: A condition in which bone tissue dies due to inadequate blood supply, often affecting the hip joint.
• Hip Fractures: Breaks in the upper femur, often occurring in older adults due to falls or osteoporosis.
• Hip Labral Tears: Tears in the cartilage that surrounds the hip socket, leading to pain and instability.
• Osteoarthritis: Progressive cartilage damage causing hip pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion.
• Trochanteric Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa located near the hip, causing pain on the outside of the joint.

Knee Conditions

• Bursitis: Inflammation of the small sacs of fluid that cushion the knee joint.
• Meniscus Tears: Damage to the cartilage that cushions the knee joint, often caused by twisting or impact.
• Ligament Injuries: Includes ACL, MCL, and PCL tears, which cause instability and pain in the knee.
• Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease that causes cartilage breakdown, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
• Patellar Tendinitis (Jumper’s Knee): Inflammation of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone, often due to overuse.

Shoulder Conditions

• Dislocated Shoulder: When the upper arm bone pops out of the shoulder socket, often due to trauma or overuse.
• Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis): A condition causing stiffness and limited movement in the shoulder joint.
• Rotator Cuff Tears: Injuries to the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder, causing pain and weakness.
• Shoulder Impingement: Compression of the tendons or bursa in the shoulder, resulting in pain and restricted motion.

Spine and Back Conditions

• Degenerative Disc Disease: Wear and tear on spinal discs, resulting in chronic back pain and stiffness.
• Herniated Disc: A condition where the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, compressing nearby nerves and causing pain.
• Sciatica: Pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, typically caused by nerve compression in the lower spine.
• Scoliosis: A sideways curvature of the spine, which can cause uneven posture and back pain.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, leading to nerve compression and pain, particularly in the lower back or neck.

Joint Conditions

• Bursitis: Inflammation of fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints, which can occur in the shoulder, knee, hip, or elbow.
• Osteoarthritis: The most common type of arthritis, involving cartilage breakdown in any joint.
• Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Arthritis that develops after a joint injury, such as a fracture or ligament tear.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder causing inflammation, pain, and deformity in multiple joints.
• Tendinitis: Inflammation of tendons due to overuse or injury, commonly affecting areas like the knees, elbows, or shoulders.

Other Conditions We Treat
