Joint Pain

What is Joint and Muscle Pain?

Joint and muscle pain can arise from various conditions such as injury, overuse, inflammation, or underlying diseases like arthritis. It can affect any part of the body, including the knees, hips, shoulders, back, neck, or smaller joints like wrists and ankles.

Common symptoms include:

  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion

  • Swelling or tenderness around the affected area

  • A dull ache or sharp, stabbing pain during movement or rest

  • Muscle weakness or joint instability

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to chronic pain or further complications, which is why early diagnosis and treatment are essential.

Common Causes of Joint and Muscle Pain

Injuries

  • Sprains and Strains: Often caused by overstretching or tearing ligaments, muscles, or tendons.

  • Fractures: Bone breaks can result in surrounding joint pain and muscle stiffness.

  • Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons due to repetitive strain.

Arthritis

  • Osteoarthritis: Wear-and-tear damage to joint cartilage, commonly affecting knees, hips, and hands.

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks the joints

Overuse and Repetitive Motion

  • Overworking muscles or joints through repetitive actions can lead to inflammation and pain.

  • Common in athletes and those with physically demanding jobs.

Posture and Ergonomics

  • Poor posture or improper ergonomics can strain muscles and joints over time, particularly in the neck, shoulders, and back.

Other Causes

  • Fibromyalgia: A condition characterized by widespread muscle pain.

  • Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, small sacs of fluid that cushion your joints.

At PREHAB, we believe in a comprehensive, personalized approach to treating joint and muscle pain. Here’s what you can expect from our expert care:
