Hip Pain

Hip pain is a common affliction of the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints that make up the hip. Hip pain is typically caused by inflammation, wear and tear, nerve damage or inflammation, osteoarthritis, and misalignment. Treatment can involve range of motion exercises, electrical muscle stimulation, adjustments, therapeutic massage, and other techniques to relieve pain.

Knee Pain

Knee pain is a common complaint because the knee is a complex system of bone, cartilage, joints, and ligaments that undergoes tremendous pressure and strain throughout the day. Knee pain is often caused by inflammation, acute injury, osteoarthritis, repetitive stress, hyperextension, overuse, wear and tear (sometimes due to obesity) and sports injuries. Treatment plans vary but can involve techniques that reduce inflammation (cold laser therapy, ultrasound, etc.), help with movement function (manipulations and massages), and rehabilitate the knee.
