Neck strain can be responsible for many cases of neck pain. As you get older, however, neck pain develops from degenerative changes that cause conditions such as:
These degenerative changes result in pain as they compress nerves in your spinal cord.
Back pain often results from improper lifting, sports injuries, or muscle strain. As you get older low back pain is more commonly caused by degenerative changes that gradually develop from daily stress on your back, such as:
All these conditions end up compressing spinal nerves, causing inflammation and pain.

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat a spinal compression fracture.
Spinal compression fractures occur primarily in spinal vertebrae that have been weakened by osteoporosis. Compression fractures typically occur in the thoracic or lumbar region of the spine.
The goals of kyphoplasty are to reduce pain from the fracture, stabilize the vertebra, and restore the vertebra back to its normal height.
The trademark symptom of sciatica is severe pain that radiates down one or both of your legs. This pain develops when the nerve is compressed at the spine due to degenerative conditions that develop over time, such as:

The trademark symptom of sciatica is severe pain that radiates down one or both of your legs. This pain develops when the nerve is compressed at the spine due to degenerative conditions that develop over time, such as:
About 90% of sciatica cases are caused by a herniated disc. A disc herniates when its
tough outer covering weakens, allowing the inner gel-like layer to bulge out and push against the nerve.
CRPS is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder. In about 90% of all cases, CRPS develops after you experience a trauma, such as:
Some patients develop CRPS without a physical injury. In these cases, it may be an internal injury that triggers the disease,
CRPS is a chronic neuropathic pain disorder. In about 90% of all cases, CRPS develops after you experience a trauma, such as:
Some patients develop CRPS without a physical injury. In these cases, it may be an internal injury that triggers the disease, such as a pinched nerve. There are two types of CRPS:
In both types, your pain persists for at least six months after the traumatic event, or well after the initial injury has healed.
Neuropathy refers to nerves that can’t work properly because they’re injured or diseased. Your peripheral nerves include:
Neuropathy refers to nerves that can’t work properly because they’re injured or diseased. Your peripheral nerves include:
Peripheral neuropathy may affect one, two, or all three types of nerves, which determines the type of symptoms you’ll experience.
Everyday movement takes a toll on your shoulder. The wear and tear only worsens if you engage in work or athletic activities that require repetitive or overhead arm movements. A few of the most common causes of shoulder pain include:
Everyday movement takes a toll on your shoulder. The wear and tear only worsens if you engage in work or athletic activities that require repetitive or overhead arm movements. A few of the most common causes of shoulder pain include:
Arthritis develops in the joint where your collarbone meets the shoulder blade, and in the joint formed where your upper arm joins the shoulder blade.
Overuse injuries like runner’s knee, and trauma such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), meniscus, and tendon tears are the most common causes of acute knee pain. Chronic knee pain frequently develops due to:
Overuse injuries like runner’s knee, and trauma such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), meniscus, and tendon tears are the most common causes of acute knee pain. Chronic knee pain frequently develops due to:
You’re at a higher risk for developing knee pain if you’re active in sports, you’ve had a previous knee injury, or you’re overweight. For every pound of extra weight you carry, your knees absorb 4 extra pounds of pressure every time you take a step.
