Section 1- Understanding Joint Pain
Why Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist & Knee, Ankle Pain Are So Common
These joints are working very hard every day such as activities which are lifting, carrying, running, walking, standing, pulling, kicking, throwing, holding, reaching, bending, stabilising, injuries such as falling on the impacted side, and absorbing impacts.
Over time, they can become irritated, inflamed, or overloaded.
Common Causes
- Tendonitis (rotator cuff, tennis elbow, jumper’s knee)
- Bursitis
- Overuse or repetitive strain(RSI; Repetitive Strain Injury)
- ligament inflammation

- Strains
- Sports injuries
- Arthritis or joint degeneration

Section 4- Understanding Knee Pain
Knee pain is quite common complaints at the daily practice.
Interestingly, some proportion of the patients are not complaining the pain of knee even if they are not having any cartilage. The recent article mentioned that “But contrary to popular belief, knee osteoarthritis is not caused by “wear and tear”.” (https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2024″/08/25/-knee-pain-from-osteoarthritis–what-to-try-instead-of-surgery.html#:~:text=Osteoarthritis%20is%20the%20most%20common,disease%2C%20affecting%202.1%20million%20Australians.&text=Knee%20osteoarthritis%20is%20most%20likely,those%20with%20previous%20knee%20injuries.)
So, most of the patients are having the other soft tissues issues such as tendonitis, ligaments inflammations, joint capsulitis, bursitis, and/or the synovial membrane inflammation.
