Knee pain (gonalgia) is a common complaint across all ages. Possible causes can stem from the bones that make up the joint (tibia, femur, patella) or from the soft tissues such as ligaments, articular cartilage, menisci, and tendons that support or surround the knee.
Pain localized in the lower back, medically referred to as lumbago, is defined as occurring in the area beneath the chest down to the horizontal line that connects the buttocks. Often, lumbago is accompanied by sciatica, meaning the pain extends along the thigh and calf, reaching in some cases all the way to the toes. Lumbago is...
The shoulder is a joint with a large range of motion. To achieve this, nature has designed a joint involving two bones (the humerus and scapula) and a multitude of muscles, ligaments, and tendons whose purpose is to keep the shoulder joint in place and to move it in nearly all directions (360-degree rotation).
Cervical pain, as referenced in medical literature, is the pain that originates from the cervical spine and the soft tissues surrounding it, and it is a common issue among modern urban dwellers. Neck pain requires particular attention when it results from any direct injury to the spine or the head.

Here’s the translation of the passage: "Physiologically, the flexor tendons of the hand are surrounded by structures called sheaths, which serve to protect and nourish them. At specific intervals on the palmar surface of the phalanges of the fingers, there are other structures known as annular ligaments (pulleys). These ligaments function like pulleys: they encircle the flexor tendons and, with contraction [...]"
One of the most common nerve compression syndromes is carpal tunnel syndrome. It involves the median nerve being trapped in a structure called the transverse carpal ligament. Its main symptoms include numbness in the palm area (the area of the thumb, index, and middle fingers), possible pain, and dropping objects from the hands of [...]"
