1. Degenerative Joint Disease

Often the root cause of long term joint stiffness, this condition develops as cartilage breaks down over time. Early treatment includes lifestyle changes and pain management therapy, with surgery reserved for advanced stages.

2.  Shoulder Impingement

A frequent cause of shoulder discomfort, this happens when tendons get compressed during movement. Treatment typically involves physical rehabilitation and, in persistent cases, shoulder decompression surgery.

3.  Sciatica

Resulting from nerve compression in the lower spine, sciatica leads to radiating leg pain and discomfort. Most cases improve with targeted exercises, though severe cases may need minimally invasive spine surgery.

4.  Bone Fractures

These range from hairline cracks to complete breaks, with treatment depending on severity, from simple casting to orthopedic fixation surgery using plates, screws, or rods for proper alignment.

5.  Tennis Elbow

Caused by repetitive wrist and arm motion, this leads to elbow tendon pain that worsens with gripping activities. Rest, bracing, and physiotherapy treatment typically resolve most cases without surgery.

6.  Ligament Sprains

Common in ankles and knees, sprains cause soft tissue swelling and instability. Mild sprains heal with rest and support, while severe ligament damage may require ligament repair surgery.

7.  Meniscus Injury

A frequent knee problem among active individuals, this causes knee locking sensation and pain during movement. Treatment ranges from rest and bracing to arthroscopic knee surgery for larger tears.

8.  Frozen Shoulder

This condition causes gradual stiffening and restricted shoulder mobility, often improving slowly with stretching therapy, though some cases require manipulation under anesthesia for full recovery.

9.  Spinal Stenosis

A narrowing of the spinal canal that leads to nerve related back pain, particularly in older adults. Treatment often starts conservatively before considering spinal decompression surgery for severe narrowing.
