Some people admire Canada for its publicly funded approach to healthcare; however, when it comes to elective surgeries, such as hip and knee surgery, patients often encounter frustrating delays that jeopardize their well-being.
Golf is typically considered a low-impact sport, but some people still experience hip pain from golfing. The sport requires repeated twisting and weight shifting, which can significantly strain the hips.
Hip bursitis exercises and stretches are essential for managing the pain and stiffness caused by inflamed bursae, tiny fluid-filled sacs within joints like the hip.
When the knee joint is forced to extend beyond its standard range of motion, it can cause knee hyperextension. Depending on its cause, such as sports, accidents, or muscle imbalances, the severity of a knee hyperextension injury can range from mild discomfort to significant ligament or joint damage.
If you are considering bilateral knee replacement surgery, in which artificial joint components are added to both knees, it can be challenging to know how long you should wait between knee replacements.
