Joint Pain Questions & Answers
What causes joint pain?
Joint pain is often caused by inflammation in or around a joint, which can lead to stiffness, reduced range of motion, and discomfort during daily activities. Joint pain commonly affects areas such as the knees, shoulders, hips, and elbows. Common causes of joint pain include:
Arthritis
Arthritis is a chronic condition that causes joint inflammation and pain. Osteoarthritis, the most common form, occurs when the protective cartilage around the joints wears down over time. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes joint inflammation.
Bursitis
Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints. Bursitis occurs when these sacs become inflamed, leading to pain and restricted movement, particularly in the shoulders, hips, and knees.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition associated with widespread pain, fatigue, and stiffness. Many individuals with fibromyalgia experience persistent joint pain.
Joint injury
Injuries caused by trauma, overuse, or repetitive stress can damage joints and surrounding tissues, leading to ongoing pain and reduced function.
Tendinitis
Tendinitis occurs when tendons become irritated or inflamed. This condition can cause pain, stiffness, and limited movement in joints such as the shoulder, knee, hip, or elbow.
How is joint pain diagnosed?
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. At Easy Reach Chiropractic & Physical Therapy & Rehab, your provider will review your medical history and discuss your symptoms in detail. A comprehensive physical examination will be performed to assess joint movement, strength, and function.
If necessary, diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans may be ordered to determine the underlying cause of your joint pain and guide treatment planning.
What treatments are available for joint pain?
Joint pain treatment is based on the cause and severity of your condition. Easy Reach Chiropractic & Physical Therapy & Rehab offers individualized, non-surgical treatment plans designed to reduce pain and improve mobility. Treatment options may include:

Massage / manual therapy
Manual therapy helps reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and support healing around affected joints.
Physical therapy
Physical therapy focuses on improving strength, flexibility, and joint stability to help reduce pain and prevent future injury.
Graston technique
