Evaluation

What We Review

Joint pain does not always mean arthritis. Tendons, ligaments, bursae, cartilage, prior injuries, and nearby muscles can also contribute to symptoms. A useful evaluation looks at how the pain started, which movements reproduce it, whether there is swelling or instability, and how much it limits normal activity.

Evaluation Focus

The exact location of pain and which movements reproduce it
Swelling, catching, locking, instability, or loss of motion
Prior injury, imaging, therapy, and activities you want to return to

An appointment may include review of your symptoms, medical history, prior treatments, medication history, relevant imaging or records, and how pain is affecting daily function. Recommendations depend on individual findings and medical appropriateness.
