Shoulder pain

Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints that people have. It can be caused by a number of different things, including arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, and even something as simple as sleeping on your arm wrong. Whatever the cause, shoulder pain can be very debilitating and make it difficult to do even simple tasks.

Common causes of shoulder pain:

• Frozen shoulder(adhesivecapsulitis)
• Rotater cuff muscle and tendon tears
• Supraspinatus muscle/tendon
• Infraspinatus muscle/tendon
• Teres minor muscle/tendon
• Subscapularis muscle/tendon
• Deltoid muscles muscle/tendon
• Acromioclavicular joint arthritis
• Subacromian subdeltoid bursitis
• Biceps tenosynovitis
• calcific tendonitis

Elbow pain

Elbow pain may result from overuse injuries, trauma, or inflammatory conditions. Management focuses on the underlying cause to relieve pain and restore joint function.

Common causes of Elbow pain:

• Tennis elbow(lateral epicondylitis)
• Golfers elbow(medial epicondylitis)
• Muscle and tendon tears
• biceps brachii muscle/tendon
• triceps muscle/tendon
• brachialis muscle/tendon
• pronater muscle/tendon
• supinator muscle/tendon
• Ulnar bursitis
• Nerve entrapments
• radial nerve
• ulnar nerve
• median nerve
• musculocutaneous nerve
• posterior and anterior interosseous nerve
• Ligament tears
• radial collateral ligament
• ulnar collateral ligament

Wrist Pain

Wrist pain arises from repetitive strain, injuries, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. Early treatment is crucial to prevent chronic issues and restore functionality.

Common causes of Wrist Pain:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome(median nerve entrapment)
• Ganglion cysts
• Muscle and tendon tears (extensor and flexor tendons)
• Dequervains tenosynovitis
• Tendons tenosynovitis (flexor and extensor group)
• TFCC ligament tears
• Proximal and distal Intersection syndromes
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Septic arthritis
• Gout arthritis
• CPPD arthritis(crystal deposition disease)

Hand pain and Finger pain

Hand and finger pain can result from injuries, arthritis, nerve compression, or overuse, affecting all age groups. Treatment depends on the cause and severity to restore function and alleviate discomfort.

Common causes of Hand pain and Finger pain:

• Trigger finger(stenosing tenosynovitis)
• Tendon tears( flexor and extensor )
• Ligament tears( radial and ulnar collateral ligaments )
• Osteo arthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Septic arthritis
• Gout arthritis
• Inflammatory arthritis
• CPPD arthritis(crystal deposition disease)

Hip Pain

The widespread pain and fatigue that comes with having fibromyalgia can be debilitating. It can leave otherwise healthy people without a way to cope with their daily lives. At the London Pain Clinic we are familiar with the all over body pain, severe fatigue…

Common causes of Hip Pain:

• Muscle and tendon tears
• Adductor strain muscle/tendon
• hamstrings strain muscle/tendon
• Flexors muscles
• Gluteus muscles
• Iliotibial band syndrome
• Trochanteric bursitis

Knee Pain

Knee pain / Joint pain is a common issue that can result from injuries or medical conditions like arthritis, gout, or infections. The knee joint’s complex structure, including bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bursae, is prone to various problems. Untreated knee pain may lead to joint damage and reduced mobility.

Common causes of Knee Pain:

• Osteoarthritis
• Muscle and tendon tears
• Quadriceps muscle/tendon
• Hamstrings muscle/tendon
• Adductors muscle/tendon
• Ligament tears
• medial and lateral collateral ligament
• anterior cruciate ligaments
• Bakers cyst
• Meniscus tears
• Fat pad impingement syndromes
• Nerve entrapments
• Sciatic nerve
• Tibial nerve
• Common peroneal nerve

Ankle & Foot Pain

Ankle and foot pain can result from injuries, structural abnormalities, or chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis. Proper evaluation and treatment are essential to maintain mobility and prevent complications.

Common causes of Ankle & Foot Pain:

• Ligament tears
• deltoid
• ATFL
• AITFL
• Spring ligament
• Muscle and tendon tears
• Tendoachillis muscle/tendon
• Tibialis posterior muscle/tendon
• Flexor and extensor muscles
• Nerve entrapments
• sural nerve
• superficial and deep peroneal nerve
• posterior tibial nerve
• lateral and medial plantar nerve
• plantar fasciitis
• retrocalcaneal and retroachillis bursitis

Back pain

Back pain is a prevalent condition marked by discomfort or pain along the spine, which can vary in intensity, duration, and location. It may be acute or chronic and can affect individuals of all ages due to various causes. In some cases, back pain can be severe enough to interfere with walking, sleeping, working, or performing daily activities.

Common causes of Back pain:

• facet joint arthropathy
• Sacroiliitis
• lumbar radiculopathy
• lumbar spondylosis
• interspinous ligamentosis
• quadratus lumborum muscle tears
• ilio-lumbar ligament syndrome
• trigger points
• nerve compression

Neck pain

Neck pain, characterized by discomfort or stiffness in the cervical region, often stems from muscle strain, disc problems, or poor posture. This discomfort can sometimes extend to the arms due to nerve compression or referred pain, commonly caused by herniated discs, muscle strain, or conditions like cervical radiculopathy.

Common causes of Neck pain:

• facet joint arthropathy
• cervical radiculopathy
• trigger points
• interspinous ligament injury
• nerve compression

Neuropathic pain

Neuropathic pain arises from damage or dysfunction of the nervous system, leading to burning, tingling, or shooting pain. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and managing symptoms to improve quality of life.

Common causes of Neuropathic pain:

• carpal tunnel syndrome
• ulnar neuropathy
• posterior interosseous nerve entrapment
• meralgia paresthetica
• plantar nerves entrapment
