Joint Conditions

Arthritis

Arthritis encompasses various inflammatory and degenerative conditions affecting the joints.

Types

Osteoarthritis, Gouty arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

Causes

Arthritis often results from degeneration with age, where wear and tear of joint cartilage leads to reduced space between bones and painful movement. Inflammatory conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, can also trigger arthritis. Additionally, joint injuries or trauma contribute to arthritis development.

Symptoms

Patients commonly experience joint pain, stiffness, swelling, limited mobility, redness, and tenderness.

Spine Disorders

Spondylosis

Spondylosis refers to degenerative changes in the spine, affecting both the lumbar and cervical regions. Conditions include disc bulges, disc prolapse, and sciatica, which can cause significant discomfort and limitation of movement.

Curvature Abnormalities Abnormalities like kyphosis (excessive forward curvature) and scoliosis (sideways curvature) can impact posture and lead to discomfort.
