On one hand, hypermobility can mean graceful flexibility, impressive yoga poses, or “party trick” joints. On the other, it may bring chronic pain, repeated sprains, fatigue, GI issues, headaches, and a nervous system that never seems to fully relax. Many patients spend years being told their symptoms are “anxiety,” “just growing pains,” or “normal” test results, without anyone naming what’s really going on.
Chronic pain affects millions of people worldwide, yet for many, the cause is not always structural damage but nerve irritation — an often-overlooked source of persistent discomfort. Traditional pain management approaches, from medications to surgeries, tend to focus on symptom control or correcting mechanical problems, leaving neuropathic components unresolved.
If pain lingers on the outside of your elbow for months — despite rest, braces, or physical therapy — you’re not alone. Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is one of the most persistent tendon problems seen in both athletes and everyday workers. And while it often starts with a simple overuse injury, chronic cases can signal deeper degeneration within the tendon where healing stalls.
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of chronic knee pain and stiffness as we age. It results from gradual wear of the joint cartilage, leading to inflammation, swelling, and reduced mobility. While surgery—like knee replacement—can help in advanced cases, many people manage OA symptoms effectively without it.
This blog explores when nonsurgical treatments are appropriate, who can benefit, and what evidence-based options are available.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections have become an established treatment option for managing joint pain, particularly in osteoarthritis. Understanding how HA works, the conditions it best treats, who should consider it, and the associated risks can help patients make informed decisions about this therapy.
Prolotherapy has been gaining attention in recent years as a treatment option for chronic musculoskeletal pain and joint instability. It is a regenerative injection therapy that stimulates healing by triggering the body’s inflammatory and repair processes. Understanding how prolotherapy works, which conditions it treats best, who makes a good candidate, and potential risks can help clarify its role in pain management.
