​The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. It is the region that connects your entire arm to the rest of your trunk and is comprised of a combination of bones, muscle tendons, and ligaments that allow you to move freely when putting on a shirt, driving your car, placing dishes in the cupboards, and playing sports. ​

​Why does knee pain occur so often in active people? Besides the obvious fact that active people move around and are on their feet a majority of the day, which increases their chances of feeling pain, knee pain can be present in those that regularly run, bike, lift weights or play sports for a number of reasons not related to suffering one specific injury.

​I recently had a patient come to me for shoulder pain she’d been experiencing intermittently over the past 6 years. We discussed her symptoms and concerns a bit on the phone and she explained that her pain starts out of nowhere, and then ends by itself- sometimes 2 days later sometimes 2 weeks later. She had struggled to get any answers because once her symptoms started, she was either in too much pain to move or she couldn’t get in to see her physician in time before the pain resolved. She was getting to the point of frustration and unsure if anything could even be done.

Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is a serious condition affecting millions of people each year. 80% of people will report some occurrence of LBP during their lifetime and for many, it becomes a recurring issue if not appropriately addressed. Often times it is associated with arthritis as we age. Aging, stiffness, and arthritis are a normal part of life. What is not normal is chronic pain and limitations with daily activities.
