Find Relief from Joint Pain & Stiffness

Joint pain can limit your ability to move, work, or enjoy daily life. Symptoms can range from mild stiffness to severe pain that interferes with activity. It may be caused by injury, overuse, or normal age-related changes. In some cases, pain felt in a joint may actually be referred pain from another area of the body, or joint pain may be caused by underlying problems in a completely different part of the body.

Common Causes of Joint Pain

• Sports injuries
• Sprains, strains, or ligament tears
• Tendon problems (e.g. rotator cuff, Achilles, tennis elbow)
• Arthritis or degeneration
• Repetitive loading or overuse

When to Seek Help

You should consider professional assessment if you experience:

• Pain and stiffness in a joint lasting more than a few days
• Swelling, clicking, or instability
• Pain on movement or at rest
• Recurrent joint pain affecting work, sport, or daily life

You should seek urgent medical attention if you develop sudden severe swelling, redness, fever, or are unable to bear weight.

How We Assess Joint Pain

At Tenby Chiropractic & Ultrasound Clinic, your initial consultation includes:

• Case history – understanding how your pain developed  and what aggravates it
• Medical, drug and surgical history – factoring in the bigger health picture and understanding your  complaint in context
• Physical examination – movement testing,  joint mobility, muscle strength, and functional assessment, along with  blood pressure, orthopaedic and neurological testing where relevant
• Diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound (if indicated) – imaging soft tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and bursae to help guide diagnosis. Ultrasound is highly effective at diagnosing a wide variety of musculoskeletal problems.

• Rehabilitation exercises – tailored to improve  strength, flexibility, and stability in the affected joint and surrounding muscles
• Posture & ergonomic advice – practical guidance  for work, daily life, and sport to reduce strain and promote recovery
• Self-care plans – guidance on what you  can do at home to aid recovery, from stretches to stress management, to  nutrition advice and beyond
• Exercise prescription – from general health  advice to structured strength and conditioning coaching
• Diagnostic ultrasound scanning – where needed, a full  scan and written report is provided by a fully qualified MSK sonographer,      helping ensure accurate diagnosis and tailored management
