• Arthritis
Arthritis is an illness that can cause pain and swelling in the joints. Joints are places where two bones meet, such as the elbow or knee. Some kinds of arthritis can cause problems in other organs, such as the eyes, or the chest. It can affect the skin too. There are several kinds of arthritis. The two most common ones are: Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis.

• Bulging Discs
A bulging disc occurs when a disc bulges through a crevice in the spine. The discs of your spine, sandwiched between your vertebrae, consist of a jellylike material (nucleus pulposus) contained within a thin casing (annulus fibrosis). Bulging can be caused by spinal bone spurs pushing out on the disc, collapsed space between vertebrae, and other degenerative conditions.

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome → Click here to take our Self-Test
A condition in which the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, a narrow confined space. This condition is characterized by pain and numbing or tingling sensations in the hand.

• Herniated Discs
AKA a slipped disc, is a condition in which nucleus tissue is moved from the center of a disc into the spinal canal. Herniated discs cause great pain in the low back and leg or the neck and arm and they create pressure against one or more of the spinal nerves. Other names for herniated discs are prolapsed discs or ruptured discs.

• Neuropathy
Also called peripheral neuropathy, it is a problem in peripheral nerve function (any part of the nervous system except the brain and spinal cord) that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, and muscle weakness in various parts of the body. Neuropathies may be caused by physical injury, infection, toxic substances, disease (eg, cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, or malnutrition), or drugs such as anticancer drugs.

• Osteopinia
Osteopenia is a condition characterized by a decrease in bone density loss. This stage of bone loss occurs before true osteoporosis has developed. It is characterized by low bone density, or thinning of the bones. It is defined as -1.00 to -2.49 standard deviations below the average peak adult bone mass as determined by a bone mineral density examination.
 
• Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist.

• Rotator Cuff Tear
The Rotator Cuff is the structure around the shoulder-joint capsule composed of intermingled muscle and tendon fibers. The rotator cuff provides stability and strength to the shoulder joint. 'Repetitive use' and 'traumatic injuries' are the most common causes of a rotator cuff tear.

• Sciatica
Sciatica is a pain in the leg due to irritation of the sciatic nerve. The pain generally goes from the front of the thigh to the back of the calf, and may also extend upward to the hip and down to the foot. In addition to pain, there may be numbness and difficulty moving or controlling the leg.

• Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing in the spine. The narrowing can occur at the center of the spine, in the canals branching off the spine and/or between the vertebrae, the bones of the spine. The narrowing puts pressure on the nerves and spinal cord and can cause pain.

• Spondylolisthesis
Is the slipping of all or part of one vertebra forward on another vertebra. The most common type of spondylolisthesis is isthmic spondylolisthesis and it is commonly seen in children and young adults.

• Tendonitis
Is an inflammation or irritation of a tendon. Chronic strain, overuse or misuse of a tendon leading to a repetitive stress injury, or a serious acute injury can lead to a weakness, tear or swelling of the tendon tissue resulting in pain and stiffness near the tendon.

• Whiplash
Whiplash occurs when the soft tissue in the spine is stretched and strained after the body is thrown in a sudden, forceful jerk. The injury most commonly occurs in car crashes involving sudden deceleration, but the injury can also occur in other strenuous physical activities such as diving. The most frequent complaints are headaches and stiffness in the neck and the back of the head. These symptoms appear within the first couple of days after the accident and usually pass after a few days to a few weeks.
