Calf cramp treatment

A muscle cramp means that the muscle suddenly and involuntarily contracts, it tightens, and it hurts. A calf cramp is also called a tendon pull because the muscle pulls on the tendon. Calf cramps are common and although they are very painful and feel like the muscle is going to break, they are not dangerous.

Impingement treatment

Impingement or entrapment syndrome, as it is also known, is when tissues become squeezed together near a joint, causing pain during certain movements. When the tissues are squeezed and pressure is increased, pain results.

Osteoarthritis fingers treatment

The joints of the fingers are made up of two finger bones, called phalanges, which meet in a joint to allow the fingers to move. The articular surfaces of the two bones are covered with articular cartilage to, among other things, reduce friction between the bone ends so that it slides more easily. The articular cartilage also protects the bone surfaces.
