- SciaticaSciatica is a relatively common form of leg pain that is often misunderstood by patients. There are frequent misconceptions about what the term sciatica means. Sciatica describes leg pain that is localized in the distribution of one or more lumbosacral nerve roots, typically L4-S2, with or without neurological deficit. Sciatica is actually a set of symptoms rather than a diagnosis for what is causing the pain. Especially for more severe cases, the cause of leg pain needs to be correctly addressed in order to relieve discomfort.

Whiplash happens in motor vehicle accidents, sporting activities, accidental falls, and assault.

- Frozen ShoulderFrozen Shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is an inflammatory reaction of the shoulder capsule that leads to formation of adhesions. The onset of the condition is usually unknown or from a minor trauma, usually occurs in individuals 45-67 years of age, and affects women more than men. Classically, symptoms of frozen shoulder have been divided into 3 phases: (1) the painful phase, (2) the stiffening phase, and (3) the thawing phase. In the initial painful phase, there is a gradual onset of diffuse shoulder pain lasting from weeks to months. The stiffening phase is characterized by a progressive loss of motion that may last up to 1 year. The final, thawing phase is measured in weeks to months and constitutes a gradual motion improvement.

There are times when the ankle sprain is severe and needs professional medical help. A sprained ankle is usually an injury to the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. The ligaments become overstretched and may possibly tear, depending on the severity. Ankle swelling and pain can affect your ability to walk properly and do your normal activities. Your doctor may prescribe physical therapy for your ankle sprain to help you recover your ankle’s mobility, decrease swelling, increase strength, and restore your ability to walk, run, and jump.

- Achilles TendonitisThe Achilles tendon, named after the indestructible mythological Greek warrior, is the largest and strongest tendon in the human body. It attaches the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle to its insertion site at the back of the heel. Achilles tendonitis usually occurs suddenly with changes in activity or training level, use of inappropriate footwear, or training on poor running surfaces. Other causes may be from tightness of the achilles tendon, abnormal foot structure, and medical diseases that may affect tendon tissue (i.e. diabetes mellitus).
