Plantar fasciitis causes pain in the lower part of the heel. The plantar fascia is a thick, web-like ligament that connects the heel to the forefoot. It acts as a shock absorber and supports the arch of the foot. The ligaments of the plantar fascia are subject to a lot of wear and tear every day. Too much pressure on your feet can damage them by causing swelling that leads to pain and stiffness in the heel. The cause of plantar fasciitis discomfort is still unclear. A 2003 study suggested that the condition may involve degeneration of the fascia. Since fasciitis means "inflammation of a fascia", the name should be plantar fasciosis.

They are recognized as being one of the most extreme, if not the most severe, types of headaches, and therefore, despite their rarity, their identification and management are vital.

Elbow osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage surface of the elbow is worn or damaged. This can happen due to a previous injury, such as a dislocation or fracture of the elbow. Most often, however, it is the result of normal wear and tear of the articular cartilage.

Medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) is a painful inflammation of the elbow caused by overuse of the forearm in the flexion movement.
