Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain is an injury that causes a stretch or tear of one or more ligaments in the ankle joint. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones at the joint. The most common type of sprain involves the ligaments on the outside part of the ankle (lateral ankle sprain). Ligaments on the inside of the ankle may also be injured (medial ankle sprain) as well as ligaments that are high and in the middle of the ankle (high ankle sprains). Depending on their severity sprains are graded depending on their severity:

Depending on their severity sprains are graded depending on their severity:
- Mild (First degree) ankle sprain: Slight stretching and some damage to the fibers of the ligament. There will be pain with minimal damage to the ligaments.
- Moderate (Second Degree) ankle sprain: Partial tearing of the ligament and mild looseness of the joint.
- Severe (Third Degree) ankle sprain: Complete tear of the ligament and the joint is very loose or unstable.

Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis, or Achilles tendinitis, is a painful inflammation of the Achilles tendon. Achilles tendonitis is caused by sports that place a lot of stress on your calf muscles and Achilles tendon, like basketball. This inflammation of the Achilles tendon can also occur with a sudden increase in the intensity or frequency of exercise.

Herniated Disk
A herniated disk occurs when one of the spongy disks that cushion the vertebrae in your spine is damaged (bulges or breaks open). Most common in the lumbar spine, the area between the bottom of your ribs and your hips, herniated disks can cause pain in both the back and the legs.

Low Back Pain
Low back pain is usually set off by a combination of overuse, muscle strain, and injury to the muscle, ligaments, and discs that support the spine. The most common causes of low back pain are Injury or overuse of muscles, ligaments, facet joints, and the sacroiliac joints.

Sciatica
Sciatica is a condition that results from the general wear and tear of aging, plus any sudden pressure on the disks that cushion the bones (vertebrae) of your lower spine on the sciatic nerve. Symptoms include leg pain and possibly tingling, numbness or weakness that travels from the low back through the buttock and down the large sciatic nerve in the back of the leg.

Elbow Arthritis
Elbow arthritis is a common and often progressive condition in which the cartilage that normally lines the surface of the elbow joint is compromised and eventually worn completely away as a result of injury, overuse, or through inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. For many people, arthritis of the elbow can cause pain not only when they bend their elbow, but also when they straighten it, such as to carry a briefcase.

Heel Pain and Heel Spurs
Heel Spurs are often the cause of serious heel pain that feels like a sharp poking and is centered around the heel or under the heel. A heel spur is a growth of bone that extends from the heel bone (calcaneous). The spur itself has no feeling, but these bony outgrowths usually extend into the soft tissue surrounding the bottom of the foot, causing inflammation.

Posterior tibialis tendon dysfunction (PTTD)
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), or adult acquired flat foot, is an inflammation and/or overstretching of the posterior tibial tendon in the foot. The posterior tibial tendon helps support the arch, but in PTTD, the tendon’s ability to perform that job is impaired, often resulting in a flattening of the foot.

Chondromalacia
Chondromalacia, is a common cause of kneecap pain or anterior knee pain. Chondromalacia is due to an irritation of the undersurface of the kneecap. Instead of the kneecap gliding along smooth cartilage, the kneecap rubs against one side of the knee joint causing the cartilage surface to become irritated causing knee pain.

Medial Collateral Ligament Injury (MCL) injury
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) prevents the leg from extending too far inward, but it also helps keep the knee stable and allows it to rotate. Typically MCL injuries occur when the outside of the knee joint is struck. This action causes the outside of the knee to buckle, and the inside to widen. When the medial collateral ligament is stretched too far, it is susceptible to tearing and injury. “Clipping” during a football game often results in a MCL injury.

Lower Leg Stress Fracture
Overuse is the common cause of a stress fracture of the lower leg. They occur when muscles become fatigued or overloaded and can not absorb the stress or shock of repeated impacts. Fatigued lower leg muscles transfer that stress to the nearby bone and the result is a small crack or fracture in the bones of the lower leg.
