Cartilage injuries often result from trauma or sports injuries, or be the consequence of cartilage degeneration conditions, such as chondromalacia and osteoarthritis. Whatever the cause may be, the loss of cartilage causes pain and physical disability. The traditional management of degenerative cartilage diseases is based on physical therapy, pain relief and surgery if required. However, many patients unfortunately do not respond well to the above. Furthermore, cartilage degr

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), occurs when the capsule of the shoulder joint becomes inflammed. It is thought to have an autoimmune connection in which the body overreacts to a minimal injury and then cells in the joint release inflammatory chemicals that cause pain. Following a period of inflammation, scar tissue develops which produces a very stiff and painful shoulder. Symptoms of a frozen shoulder include stiffness that worsens at first, but gradually begins to i

Plantar fasciitis is a very common foot condition with heel pain. The plantar fascia is a strong band of fibrous tissue which is found at the bottom of the foot, with the purpose to provide support for the arch of the foot and to enable foot control and shock-absorption. The plantar fascia has the functional role of maintaining the foot arch foot stability and promotes functional biomechanics. At rest the plantar fascia is shortened, when standing and the foot weighted, the p
