Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down one or both legs. The most common cause of sciatica is lumbar disk herniation, which compresses or irritates one of the nerve roots that make up the sciatic nerve. [..]

Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as frozen shoulder, is a condition characterized by painful and restricted shoulder movement. It affects approximately 2-5% of the United States population, most frequently in adults aged 40 to 60. The condition develops gradually, beginning with a “freezing” phase in which movement becomes increasingly painful and limited. This stage can last [..]

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is characterized by pain in the front region of the knee, around the patella (kneecap), and is often described as stabbing, aching, and/or burning—especially during movements that increase pressure between the femur and patella. Common aggravating activities include prolonged sitting, transitioning from sitting to standing, climbing or descending stairs, kneeling, squatting, [..]

Patients frequently seek chiropractic care for hip-related conditions—such as femoroacetabular impingement, developmental dysplasia of the hip, labral tears, and cartilage injuries—often in hopes of preventing or delaying surgery. Fortunately, treatment guidelines for these and many musculoskeletal conditions typically recommend non-surgical approaches as the first line of treatment. But which manual therapies provided by chiropractors are [..]

Shoulder pain is a common complaint that drives patients to a doctor’s office, including  chiropractic clinics. It’s estimated that about one-third of the population will experience shoulder pain at some point, with subacromial pain syndrome accounting for approximately two-thirds of these cases. Subacromial pain syndrome arises from issues in the subacromial space, located between the [..]

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a ligament situated in the knee joint that firmly connects the femur to the tibia, providing stability when flexing and extending the knee. The ligament can tear when the knee experiences excessive stress or trauma, such as a direct impact, incorrect landing from a jump or fall, sudden deceleration, [..]

Musculoskeletal conditions, including hip-related pain, are a leading cause of pain and disability and represent the second-largest global contributor to years lived with disability. Among hip-related pain conditions, the most common is femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI). In fact, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome affects up to 15% of young adults and is a leading cause of hip [..]

The shoulder complex is comprised of four joints—glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, and scapulothoracic—that coordinate with one another so that we can perform numerous activities with our upper extremities. In addition to the aforementioned joints, there are several primary muscles that stabilize the shoulder and allow it to move in its three primary planes: front (anterior), back [..]

It’s estimated that nearly 800,000 knee replacements are currently performed in the United States each year. Due to the combination of ageing and poor lifestyle choices, researchers expect the number of annual total or partial knee arthroplasty procedures to triple by 2040.  While many patients report significant improvements in pain and function following a knee [..]

Among the roles the hip joints play in the human body, perhaps none is as important as the ability to perform everyday activities like standing, walking, and running. Of course, these actions involve multiple other body parts, so it’s no surprise that when a patient presents with hip pain, they often have additional issues. In [..]
