Elbow Pain
The elbow is a hinge joint that connects the
upper arm and lower arm. It consists of three
bones the humerus, radius, and ulna. Each bone
is capped with cartilage and a complex array of
ligaments and tendons from various muscles cross
over the joint. Its function is bending and
extending the arm.

Hip Pain
When we talk about hip pain, just like in real
estate, it comes down to location, location,
location! The term hip means a lot of different
things to a lot of different people. When you ask
patients to point to their hip, some point to the
side of their leg, some will point to their
groin, and others point to their low back or
buttock. While all of these are thought of as
part of the hip region, only groin pain is true
hip pain as this is where your hip joint is found.

Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is a complex, highly mobile joint
designed to provide the highest amount of motion
of any joint in the body. In its simplest form,
it is a ball and socket joint surrounded by a
variety of ligaments, tendons, and muscles that
are responsible for moving the arm.

Knee Pain
The knee is the largest single joint in the body.
It is a hinge joint comprised of the femur (thigh
bone) and tibia (shin bone). There is cartilage
on each bone with the meniscus in between that
acts as a shock absorber and cushion. There are
four ligaments that provide stability and a joint
capsule. Finally, there are many different
muscles and tendons that surround the knee which
bends the knee back and forth and provide dynamic
stability while you are active.
