A bunion is a structural deformity of the big toe joint that results in a hard, bony bump on the side of the foot.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the wrist.

Foot and ankle osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition where the cartilage in the joints of the foot or ankle gradually wears away, causing pain, stiffness and difficulty with walking or movement.

A fracture, or broken bone, occurs when a bone cracks or breaks due to force or stress.

A ganglion cyst is a noncancerous lump often found on the wrist, hand, foot or finger.

Golfer’s elbow affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow as a result of overuse or repetitive motion.

Hammer toe is a deformity that causes a toe to bend downward at the middle joint.

A rotator cuff tear is a tear in one or more of the shoulder tendons that help lift and stabilize the arm, often caused by injury or repetitive overhead motion.

Shoulder osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition in which the cartilage in the shoulder wears down over time, leading to pain, stiffness and reduced range of motion.

A stress fracture happens when bones get worn down by repetitive force, usually over time.

Tennis elbow develops when the muscles and tendons in the forearm are strained from repeated use or stress.
