Peripheral joints include the joints in the upper and lower extremities,
such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, and foot.
And they are not in the spine area.
Peripheral joints can be injured through
trauma, degeneration(general wear and tear), repetitive activities, overuse and disease.
Common injuries to peripheral joints include dislocations, subluxations, sprains,
strains, tears, inflammatory conditions like rotator cuff tendonitis and degenerative
conditions like arthritis.
Physiotherapy for joint pain offers diverse strategies to relieve joint pain
by targeting the root cause and enhancing joint function. The treatment's effectiveness
lies in its personalized approach, addressing specific joint issues while considering
individual needs. The combination of exercises, therapies and education empowers
individuals to actively manage their joint health, offering sustained relief
and improved joint function.
