Back pain
Back Pain is common with about nine out of ten adults experiencing it at some point in their life, and five out of ten working adults having it every year.[1] However, it is rare for it to be permanently disabling. The pain may be characterized as a dull ache, shooting or piercing pain, or a burning sensation. The pain may radiate into the arms and hands as well as the legs or feet and may include paresthesia (tingling with no apparent cause), weakness or numbness in the legs and arms.
Neck pain
Neck pain or (cervicalgia) is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives.[2] Neck pain, although felt in the neck can be caused by numerous other spinal problems. Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, or pinching of the nerves emanating from the cervical vertebrae Joint disruption in the neck creates pain, as does joint disruption in the upper back.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is one of the more common reasons for physician visits for musculoskeletal symptoms. The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body. However, it is an unstable joint because of the range of motion allowed. This instability increases the likelihood of joint injury, often leading to a degenerative process in which tissues break down and no longer function well. Shoulder pain may be localized or may be referred to areas around the shoulder or down the arm.[3]
