Joints are what allow our bodies to bend and move. Joint pain can limit our range of motion, making it difficult to participate in sports or even perform daily activities.
All pain is unpleasant, but joint pain can be especially difficult to manage because we use our joints so much.
The team at Main Street Health specializes in pain management and rehabilitation. We offer a variety of treatments and products targeted for joint pain relief.
Joints are places in the body where bones and other tissues meet — neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and knuckles.
Chronic joint pain is the regular or recurring sensation of burning, shooting, or aching pain in joints. It ranges from mild to severe and can affect any joint in the body. It can even affect several joints at the same time.
By contrast, acute joint pain occurs suddenly, usually as the result of trauma, and may come with joint swelling.
Joint pain is often caused by inflammation, either of the joint itself or of the surrounding tissues. Joint inflammation can be caused by injuries, repetitive movements, or certain medical conditions.
Common causes of joint pain include:
Sudden, unexplained, or severe joint pain should receive immediate treatment. Aching joints can often be relieved with regular therapy.
