7 Common Orthopedic Issues
Any problems associated with your bodyâs musculoskeletal system fall under the category of orthopedic issues. Most orthopedic conditions are painful, and if they arenât treated properly.
What are some of the most common orthopedic problems?
A) LOWER BACK PAIN: Lower back pain is one of the most common orthopedic issues. Almost everyone experiences back pain at some time in life. Often, it is mild and goes away after some time. However, in some cases, symptoms are significant enough that they require medical attention.
B) KNEE PAIN: Knee pain is often experienced by athletes, but it can affect anyone. While some knee pain is caused by injury or overuse, other knee pain is caused by conditions like osteoarthritis.
C) HAMSTRING INJURIES: Again, a hamstring-related injury is most often experienced by athletes. Soccer and football players are prone to this kind of injury, as well as runners.
D) PLANTAR FASCIITIS: The plantar fascia is the tissue that connects the heal to the ball of the foot. If it tears or becomes inflamed, it can be painful to walk. Adults over the age of 40 are more likely to get plantar fasciitis, but it can affect people of all ages.
E) SCOLIOSIS: Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine. Often, the spine will make an âSâ or âCâ shape, and individual vertebrae may rotate. Contrary to popular belief, scoliosis is not caused by bad posture; however, a person with scoliosis may lean to one side.
F) HIP FRACTURE: Hip fractures are most commonly a result of a fall and are a common injury for people of older age. Osteoporosis is also a leading cause of hip fractures. Depending on a personâs overall health when a hip fracture occurs, other health conditions may arise as a result of complications from the hip fracture.
G) ARTHRITIS: Arthritis is the swelling of a joint. It is painful and often causes stiffness in and around the affected joints. Your risk of having arthritis increases with age, and women are more likely than men to have arthritis. Arthritis is also hereditary, so if arthritis is in your family history, you may be more likely to have it.
