What Causes Joint Pain?
Joint pain can have several different causes, ranging from overuse injuries to degenerative medical conditions like arthritis. Identifying the root cause of your joint pain is the first step our team will take to recommend an appropriate treatment pathway. Some of the more common causes of joint pain our specialists treat include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Bursitis
- Overuse injuries
- Sports-related injuries
Joint pain can also be localized to a single joint, as is commonly seen with overuse-injury-related joint pain, or it can be widespread, as is seen with some causes of joint pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis. If you’re dealing with a new or worsening case of joint pain in Sterling Heights, our joint pain specialists are here to bring you answers and treatment options to help you reach your pain management goals.
Common Joints Affected by Joint Pain
While joint pain can appear in any of the body’s joints, it is much more common in certain joints. More commonly affected joints include:
- Knee joints
- Shoulder joints
- Hip joints
- Wrist joints
