Arthritis

Arthritis is a common condition that causes inflammation and stiffness in the joints, leading to pain and reduced mobility. It can affect any joint in the body, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most prevalent types.

Back Pain

Back pain can range from a mild ache to severe, debilitating discomfort, often caused by muscle strain, herniated discs, arthritis, or spinal issues. It is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care.

Bursitis

Bursitis occurs when the small, fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the joints become inflamed. This condition typically affects the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, leading to pain and swelling.

Cancer Pain

Cancer pain can result from the disease itself or as a side effect of treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. It varies in intensity and can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

CRPS is a chronic pain condition that typically develops after an injury or surgery, most often affecting the arms or legs. It is characterized by severe, persistent pain, swelling, and changes in skin color or temperature.

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease occurs when the spinal discs wear down over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is a common cause of chronic back and neck pain.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

This nerve disorder is a complication of diabetes that causes numbness, tingling, and burning pain, typically in the feet and hands. It results from prolonged high blood sugar levels damaging the nerves.

Failed Back Syndrome

Failed back syndrome refers to chronic pain that persists after spinal surgery. It can result from scar tissue formation, nerve damage, or an unsuccessful surgical outcome.

Headaches and Migraines

Chronic headaches and migraines can cause severe, recurring pain that interferes with daily life. They may be triggered by stress, hormonal changes, nerve dysfunction, or environmental factors.

Joint Pain

Joint pain can stem from arthritis, injury, overuse, or underlying medical conditions. It often affects the knees, hips, shoulders, and hands, leading to discomfort and limited movement.

Myofascial Pain

Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder affecting the muscles and surrounding connective tissue. It is caused by trigger points—tight knots in muscle fibers—that lead to deep, aching pain.

Neck Pain

Neck pain can result from muscle strain, poor posture, arthritis, or nerve compression. It can cause stiffness, headaches, and radiating pain into the shoulders or arms.

Other Common Conditions

This category includes a variety of chronic pain disorders, such as chronic abdominal pain, chronic pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, intercostal neuralgia, occipital neuralgia, myofascial pain syndrome, chronic migraine headaches, and trigeminal neuralgia.

Phantom Limb Syndrome

Phantom limb syndrome causes pain or sensations in a limb that has been amputated. This condition occurs due to nerve signals and brain activity that still perceive the missing limb as present.

Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy is caused by compression or irritation of spinal nerves, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the arms or legs. It commonly results from herniated discs or spinal degeneration.

Sciatica

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back down through the legs. It is often caused by a herniated disc or spinal stenosis.

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This condition can lead to pain, weakness, and difficulty walking.

Vertebral Compression Fracture

A vertebral compression fracture is a small break in the spine, often caused by osteoporosis or trauma. It can lead to significant pain and a hunched posture.

Work-Related Injuries

Work-related injuries can include strains, sprains, fractures, and repetitive motion injuries that result in chronic pain. They often affect the back, neck, shoulders, and joints.
