Understanding Joint Pain

What's Going On?

Joint pain can affect the knees, hips, elbows, wrists, or any other joint in the body. It can stem from injury, wear and tear, poor mechanics, or imbalance in the muscles and structures that support the joint.

A joint never works in isolation: its function depends on the muscles, nerves, and adjacent joints around it. Our comprehensive assessment looks at joint mechanics, muscle balance, and nerve function to determine the most effective treatment approach, rather than simply focusing on the painful joint itself.
