Thumb arthritis sometimes called basal joint arthritis is a condition characterized by inflammation and wear of the thumb joint. Of the two common types of arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis is the kind that most commonly affects the thumb.
Hip impingement, also known as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a painful condition where the femoral head (the ball of the hip) pinches against the acetabulum (the hip socket).
The hips are defined as two large ball and socket joints. For optimal function, the ball of the femur should be able to move smoothly within the socket of the pelvis without interference.
When dealing with Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction, taping techniques applied to the foot, ankle, and heel can aid in pain relief and injury prevention.
