What is Joint Pain?

Joint pain can affect the knees, shoulders, hips, and other joints, and it may be caused by arthritis, injury, or overuse. It often leads to swelling, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Treatment ranges from conservative care like rest and physical therapy to injections and interventional procedures.

At Spine Team Texas, we evaluate the underlying cause of your joint pain and offer targeted treatment options to improve joint function and reduce discomfort.
