Hip and Knee Conditons
Common Hip Conditions:
Hip osteoarthritis: This condition causes the cartilage in the hip joint to wear down, resulting in pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
Hip bursitis: This is a painful condition that affects the bursae, small fluid-filled sacs, located near the hip joint.
Hip labral tears: A labral tear is a tear in the cartilage that surrounds the hip socket. This can cause pain and limit mobility.

Knee osteoarthritis: This condition causes the cartilage in the knee joint to wear down, resulting in pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome: This is a common knee condition that causes pain in the front of the knee, usually during activities that involve bending the knee.
Meniscal tears: A meniscal tear is a tear in the cartilage in the knee joint that can cause pain and limit mobility.
