Osteoarthritis as a whole, gest a bit of a bad reputation, despite being completely normal and inevitable. In fact, even the name Osteoarthritis is somewhat of a misnomer, as “Osteo” means bone,”‘Arth” means…
Pain can be broken down into two categories: acute pain, such as a cut on the leg, a tension headache, or a bone fracture, and chronic pain, pain which lasts longer and can be more serious. Let’s take a look at the major differences between the two. Acute pain is normal pain that lets the body know it’s been hurt.

People generally have some issues with the specific hypermobility knee exercises that are currently out there. They either don’t work or they yield very little results. This is largely due to the simple fact that the current treatment around exercises for those with hypermobility, are built on a false premise and simply do not take into account the nuances that come with this population. The gold standard at the moment for hypermobile knee exercises, and…
Sciatica refers to pain, weakness, numbness, and/or tingling in the leg and it is caused by injury to or pressure on the sciatic nerve.

The most common causes of upper back pain are muscular irritation (myofascial pain) and joint dysfunction. While there can sometimes be an injury to a disc in the upper back (such as a thoracic herniated disc or degenerated disc)…
With so much attention focused on the dangers of opioid painkillers, it’s easy to forget that even “safe” over-the-counter products carry some dangers.

We’ve all had back pain from time to time. Maybe we lifted luggage that was too heavy, held a baby for too long or carried a backpack overloaded with books. Some aches and pain here and there are normal—ones that tend to go away after you rest or exercise. But millions of Americans have ongoing back pain. It’s the leading cause of disability in people younger than 45, and many factors can cause it. Click…
Have you ever slept in an odd position and when you woke up, your arm felt numb and you couldn’t lift it? Well that’s what happened to me a little more than five years ago. I went to bed feeling fine and when I woke up, I couldn’t lift my arm. Except for me, the feeling didn’t go away. My first thought was it must have something to do with the surgery I had years…
Two-thirds of American women take acetaminophen for pregnancy’s aches and pains. But the medication might not be as harmless as previously thought. Research published in October online in JAMA Psychiatry shows that women who took acetaminophen (Tylenol) at the end of their pregnancies were much more likely to have a child with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
