ACL (Anterior cruciate ligament) is a one of the major ligament in our knee. It’s located deep within the joint, behind the kneecap (patella), above the shinbone, and below the thighbone. An ACL injury may be diagnosed when the ligament is overstretched or torn. This type of injury occurs frequently in sport. Athletes who participate high-impact sports where rapid pivoting and turning are common, such as basketball, football, skiing, and soccer.
Cervical spondylosis is a common degenerative condition of the cervical spine. It is most likely caused by age-related changes in the intervertebral disks. Clinically, several syndromes, both overlapping and distinct, are seen. These include neck and shoulder pain, sub-occipital pain and headache, radicular symptoms, and cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). As disk degeneration occurs, mechanical stresses result in osteophytic bars, which form along the ventral aspect of the spinal canal.

Our feet are made up of many small bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments that act as a support structure for the entire foot. When the feet are under excessive stress, surrounding structures will be irritated and hence cause foot pain. The most common condition related to foot pain is plantar fasciitis.

What most people call the shoulder is really mobile. However, it may lead to increasing problems with instability or impingement of the soft tissue or bony structures in your shoulder, resulting in pain. You may feel pain only when you move your shoulder, or all of the time. The pain may be temporary or it may continue.
