    Trigger Finger

    Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that affects the tendons in the fingers. It occurs when the tendon sheath becomes inflamed, causing the finger to catch or lock in a bent position. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and difficulty straightening the affected finger. Trigger finger is often associated with repetitive hand movements, underlying health conditions like diabetes, and can affect people of all ages. Treatment options include rest, splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery.

    Rehab for hip and knee arthritis

    Rehabilitation for hip and knee arthritis focuses on relieving pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall function. This comprehensive program typically includes physical therapy, which emphasizes strengthening the surrounding muscles, improving flexibility, and promoting joint stability. Patients often start with low-impact exercises, such as swimming or cycling, to reduce stress on the joints while building endurance. As strength increases, therapists may introduce more targeted strength training, balance exercises, and functional activities that mimic daily movements. Education is also a vital component, teaching patients about joint protection techniques and activity modifications to reduce strain. In some cases, assistive devices like braces or walking aids may be recommended to enhance mobility and support joint health.

    Tennis Elbow and Golfer's Elbow

    Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Tennis elbow is a common condition characterized by pain on the outer part of the elbow. It typically results from repetitive strain or overuse of the forearm muscles, often due to activities that involve gripping or twisting motions. The pain stems from inflammation or microtears in the tendons that attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis): Golfer's elbow is similar to tennis elbow but occurs on the inner side of the elbow. It involves pain and inflammation of the tendons attached to the medial epicondyle of the humerus. This condition often arises from repetitive stress or overuse of the forearm muscles, especially those involved in wrist flexion and gripping. Despite the name, it is not exclusive to golfers and can affect anyone engaged in activities that strain the forearm.

    Sciatica Pain

    Sciatica pain, often simply referred to as sciatica, is a common type of pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. It typically occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, leading to symptoms such as sharp, shooting pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the affected leg. Sciatica can be caused by various factors, including a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or even muscle spasms in the buttocks. The pain intensity can vary from mild to severe, and it may worsen with activities like sitting, standing, or walking. Treatment options for sciatica pain often include a combination of rest, physical therapy, medications, such as anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants, and in some cases, epidural steroid injections or surgery may be recommended.
