Don’t Let Joint Pain Hold You Back.
Joint pain can be caused by arthritis, injuries, overuse, or inflammation, and it often affects major joints like the knees, shoulders, hips, and elbows. At Comprehensive Pain Consultants, we begin with a detailed evaluation to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and recommend effective, personalized treatments to help you move and feel better – without relying on surgery or long-term medications.
Common Joint Pain Conditions We Treat
Our team treats a wide range of joint-related conditions impacting the hips, knees, shoulders, elbows, and other extremities.
Here are some of the most common causes of joint pain:
Facet Joint Pain
Facet joint pain is discomfort originating from the small joints located between and behind adjacent vertebrae in the spine, known as facet joints. These joints help guide and limit spinal movement while providing stability. Pain can occur due to arthritis, degeneration, injury, or inflammation of the facet joints. Symptoms often include localized back or neck pain, stiffness, and pain that worsens with twisting, bending, or extension of the spine, and in some cases, the pain can radiate into the shoulders, buttocks, or thighs.
Common symptoms of facet joint pain include localized back or neck pain that worsens with twisting, bending backward, or extending the spine. Patients may experience stiffness, reduced range of motion, and aching that can radiate into the shoulders, buttocks, or thighs. Pain is often aggravated by prolonged standing or activity and may improve when lying down or resting.
Knee Pain
Knee pain refers to discomfort or pain in or around the knee joint, which can result from injury, overuse, arthritis, ligament or meniscus damage, or underlying medical conditions. Symptoms can range from a dull ache to sharp or stabbing pain and may be accompanied by swelling, stiffness, instability, or reduced mobility. Knee pain can affect daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods, and the severity and duration vary depending on the cause.
Common symptoms of knee pain include aching, sharp, or stabbing pain in or around the knee joint, swelling, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Patients may also experience a feeling of instability, popping or clicking sounds, difficulty bearing weight, or pain that worsens with activity such as walking, climbing stairs, or kneeling.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain refers to discomfort or pain in or around the shoulder joint, which can result from injury, overuse, arthritis, tendon or ligament damage, bursitis, or rotator cuff problems. Symptoms can range from a dull ache to sharp or stabbing pain and may limit the range of motion, strength, and ability to perform daily activities. Pain may be localized to the shoulder or radiate down the arm, and it can worsen with certain movements, lifting, or repetitive activities.
Common symptoms of shoulder pain include aching, sharp, or stabbing pain in the shoulder joint, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Patients may also experience swelling, tenderness, weakness, or a feeling of instability, along with pain that worsens with lifting, reaching, or repetitive movements. In some cases, clicking, popping, or grinding sensations may occur.
Sports Injuries
A sports injury is any physical damage or trauma that occurs during athletic activities or exercise. These injuries can affect muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones, or joints and range from mild strains and sprains to more severe injuries like fractures, dislocations, or tears. Common causes include overuse, improper technique, sudden movements, or collisions. Symptoms often include pain, swelling, bruising, reduced mobility, and sometimes instability, which can impact performance and daily activities.
Common symptoms of sports injuries include pain, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injured site. Patients may also experience reduced range of motion, stiffness, weakness, instability, or difficulty bearing weight, depending on the type and severity of the injury. In some cases, popping, snapping, or a feeling of the joint giving way may occur.
Arthritis
Arthritis is a general term for conditions that cause inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the joints. The most common types include osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear of cartilage, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition where the body attacks the joints. Arthritis can affect any joint in the body, leading to swelling, reduced mobility, tenderness, and sometimes joint deformity. Symptoms often worsen with activity or over time, impacting daily activities and quality of life.
Common symptoms of arthritis include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and tenderness. Patients may also experience reduced range of motion, warmth or redness around the affected joints, fatigue, and, in some cases, joint deformity. Symptoms can worsen with activity, overuse, or as the condition progresses.
Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the lining of the joints, leading to chronic inflammation and joint damage.
Symptoms include persistent joint pain and swelling, warmth and redness at the joint, morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes, and fatigue or general malaise.
Bursitis
Bursitis occurs when the small fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion bones, tendons, and muscles become inflamed. It commonly affects the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.
Symptoms include achy or stiff joints, sharp pain with movement or pressure, swelling and redness in the affected area, or pain that worsens with repetitive motion.
Tendinitis
Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon—the thick cords that attach muscle to bone. It’s often caused by repetitive movements or overuse and typically affects the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, or heels.
Symptoms include pain or tenderness near a joint, swelling around the tendon, pain that worsens with activity, and stiffness or limited motion.
