Strength and aerobic exercises are among the most effective treatments for knee arthritis. They cost nothing but time and determination. In contrast, doctors, physical therapists, and injections can be expensive and may not yield better outcomes compared to regular exercise.

For those suffering from tennis elbow, use a massage ball to “roll” around your forearm muscles. Underlying trigger points in the extensor muscles often contribute significantly to the pain. Releasing these muscle knots can provide tremendous pain relief.

Sarcopenia often flies under the radar as a treatable disease, but it’s crucial to recognize its impact. Loss of muscle mass and strength can affect mobility and quality of life. Early intervention with strength training and proper nutrition can make a significant difference.

Do back problems lead to hip issues? Or do hip problems lead to back issues? Does it matter? Those with low back pain often have decreased hip mobility and weaker hip muscles. Everything is affected and must be addressed through a comprehensive exercise and stretching program.

Partial tears of the rotator cuff are very common in people WITHOUT shoulder pain. So, if your MRI shows a partial tear, it does NOT mean you need surgery. Non-surgical treatments focused on strengthening and supporting the shoulder are often enough to be pain-free.

Osteoarthritis is as much a metabolic disease as it is a wear and tear disease. The metabolic component affects outcomes. "When diabetes, hypertension and obesity coexist with OA, patients experience heightened baseline pain compared to metabolically healthy individuals."

Many orthopedic problems are caused by poor nutrition and metabolic dysregulation. Higher BMI, excess weight, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia all increase the risk of developing adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.
