Welcome to Common Injuries & Conditions

 ACL injuries are one of the most common sports related knee injuries. They are typically caused by plant and pivot or hyperextension mechanism. 

 Ankle sprains are caused when the ligaments of the lateral ankle, primarily the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and or the calcaneal fibular ligament (CFL) are stretched when the ankle rolls inward. Although ankle sprains can affect the inside of the ankle as well, this is less common.  

 Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed leading to numbness, tingling or weakness in the wrist or hand. The compression is caused by a narrowed carpal tunnel due to swelling or inflammation of the tendons that are passing through it. 

Cervical Facet Syndrome, also known as cervical facet disease or cervical osteoarthritis, is the structural deterioration of one or more of these vertebral facet joints in the cervical segment of the spine.

A cervical radiculopathy occurs when there is irritation, compression or damage to one or more of the nerve roots in your neck.

A hip labral tear involves the ring of cartilage (Labrum) that follows the outside rim of the socket of your hip joint.

IT band syndrome (ITBS) is an overuse injury of tissues of the outer thigh and the knee. 

Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow) occurs when the tendons of the forearm which extend to the wrist become irritated and inflamed at the site of the lateral elbow due to overuse. 

The lumbar discs are "pads" that serve as "cushions" between the vertebrae of the spine.  A rupture of the central portion of the disc is referred to as a disc herniation.

Lumbar facet joint syndrome is pain at the posterior joins between two vertebrae in the lumber spine.

Medial epicondylitis or golfers' elbow is an overuse condition of the wrist extensor muscles near their origin on the inside bony bump (medial epicondyle) of the arm (humerus).

The knee is composed of an inner and outer meniscus that provides both cushion and protection against wear and tear of the femur and tidia bones. A torn meniscus is one of the most common knee injuries.

The Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) is often also referred to as "runners' knee" due to it's high prevalence among runners. 

 An overused and tight plantar fascia can cause small tears resulting in inflamed and swollen tissue causing pain in the heel or the bottom of the foot. 

Shoulder pain and injuries that involve the rotator cuff are common and responsible for approximately 75-80% of shoulder related conditions.

If the space between the acromion and the humerus decreases or if the bursa becomes inflamed this will cause the "impingement".
