Shin splints, medically known as medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), is a common condition characterized by pain along the shinbone (tibia), which is the large bone in the front of your lower leg. Shin splints are often experienced by athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities that involve repetitive impact on the legs, such as running, jumping, or dancing.
Conditions
Runner’s knee, also known as patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), is a common knee condition characterized by pain around or behind the kneecap (patella). It is a broad term used to describe several conditions that can cause pain in this area, particularly during activities that involve knee bending, such as running, walking, cycling, or climbing stairs.
Golfer’s elbow, medically known as medial epicondylitis, is a condition that involves pain and inflammation of the tendons that attach to the bony bump on the inside of the elbow (medial epicondyle). This area is where the muscles that flex the wrist and fingers attach to the bone. Despite its name, golfer’s elbow can affect anyone who repeatedly uses their wrists or clenches their fingers, not just golfers.
Sacroiliitis is inflammation of one or both of the sacroiliac (SI) joints, which are located where the lower spine and pelvis connect. These joints, situated between the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) and the ilium (the upper part of the pelvic bone), play a crucial role in bearing the weight of the upper body and facilitating movement.
Facet impingement syndrome in the neck, also known as cervical facet syndrome or cervical facet joint syndrome, involves pain and dysfunction arising from the facet joints in the cervical spine. The facet joints in the cervical spine become irritated, inflamed, or misaligned, leading to pain and restricted movement. It can be due to direct impingement of the joint structures or associated inflammation.
Turf toe is a common term used to describe a sprain of the big toe joint. It typically occurs when the big toe is forcefully bent upwards beyond its normal range of motion, such as during pushing off while running or jumping on artificial turf or hard surfaces. This injury is common among athletes who play sports on artificial turf, hence the name “turf toe.”
A muscle strain in the neck, also known as a neck strain, occurs when the muscles or tendons in the cervical region are overstretched or torn. This injury can range from mild discomfort to severe pain, impacting neck movement and function. It is important to have a thorough examination performed to determine the strained muscle.
Patellar tendonitis, also known as jumper’s knee, is a common overuse injury that affects the tendon connecting the kneecap (patella) to the shinbone (tibia). It is characterized by inflammation and irritation of the patellar tendon due to repetitive stress or overloading of the knee joint. This condition is particularly prevalent in athletes who participate in sports that involve jumping or frequent changes in direction, such as basketball, volleyball, and track
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition characterized by pain and inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes. The plantar fascia acts like a shock-absorbing bowstring, supporting the arch of the foot and assisting in walking.
Neck pain affects 45% to 54% of the general population at some time during their lives. A thorough examination of the facet joints, neural tissues, discs, muscles, and ligaments should be performed to determine the root cause of your neck pain. Treatment options at FRWD may or may not include: chiropractic care, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, dry needling, and functional rehabilitation to increase strength, stability, and mobility. Cervicogenic headache:
Temporomandibular disorder is a term including different conditions involving the TMJ, the masticatory muscles, and their associated tissues that represent a clinical problem such as pain, limited jaw movements, and TMJ noises. When a patient with TMJ/TMD seeks treatment, a comprehensive initial evaluation is needed to determine if the patient would be a candidate for trigger point management/conservative care, referral to a dentist, or a combination of both.
Lumbar disc derangement refers to a condition where the intervertebral discs in the lumbar spine (lower back) are damaged or displaced, leading to back pain and potentially neurological symptoms. This term encompasses various issues such as disc herniation, bulging, or degeneration. Causes include degeneration (DDD), trauma, repetitive stress, genetic factors, and poor posture.
Bicipital tendonitis, also known as biceps tendonitis, is inflammation or irritation of the long head of the biceps tendon, where it passes through the bicipital groove of the humerus to attach at the shoulder. This condition typically results from overuse, repetitive motions, or injury, leading to pain and tenderness in the front of the shoulder.
Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve impingement, also known as meralgia paresthetica, is a condition where the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) becomes compressed or irritated, leading to sensory disturbances in the outer thigh. The LFCN is responsible for supplying sensation to the skin on the lateral aspect of the thigh but does not control any muscles. The LFCN arises from the lumbar plexus, specifically from the L2 and L3 nerve roots.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and arm. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes compressed or squeezed at the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway formed by bones and ligaments at the base of the hand, and the median nerve, along with tendons, passes through
Rib impingement syndrome, also known as costovertebral or costotransverse joint dysfunction, is a condition where the ribs and their associated joints become misaligned or restricted, leading to pain and discomfort. This syndrome often involves the costovertebral joints (where the ribs attach to the spine) and the costotransverse joints (where the ribs articulate with the transverse processes of the vertebrae).
An ankle muscle strain refers to an injury involving the stretching or tearing of muscle fibers in the ankle region. Unlike ankle sprains, which primarily involve damage to ligaments (tissues that connect bones), muscle strains affect the muscles and their tendon attachments. These injuries can occur due to sudden movements, overstretching, or excessive force applied to the muscles around the ankle joint.
Rotator cuff impingement (also known as shoulder impingement syndrome) occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff become irritated or compressed as they pass through the subacromial space, the area between the acromion (a part of the shoulder blade) and the head of the humerus (upper arm bone). This can lead to pain, inflammation, and restricted shoulder movement.
