Frozen Shoulder

Frozen shoulder is a common source of chronic (ongoing) pain, inflammation and restricted movement in the shoulder. Frozen shoulder commonly occurs in people age 50 and older as a result of overuse.

Hip Pain

If you have hip pain, it is probably impacting the quality of your life, perhaps making it difficult to walk, sit or stand  for any length of time. At the University of Michigan CMC we have several solutions to hip pain -- and not all of them require surgery.

Knee Conditions

Knee problems are very common, and anyone can have them. Mechanical knee problems are caused by a direct blow or sudden movement that strains the knee, or osteoarthritis in the knee, resulting from wear and tear on the parts. Inflammatory knee problems can result from certain rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosis (lupus). These diseases cause swelling that can damage the knees permanently.

Knee Pain

Our success with eliminating our patients' knee pain results from our multidisciplinary approach of including all areas that are involved in your care to develop a treatment plan just for you.

Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Injuries

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of four ligaments that keep the knee joint stable. The MCL spans the distance from the end of the femur (thigh bone) to the top of the tibia (shin bone) and is on the inner side of the knee joint. That's why it's so painful when the ligament is stretched too much or torn. The ligament is usually injured when the outside of the knee joint is struck, during sports or an accident, for example. MCL injuries can occur by themselves or with other injuries such as an ACL or meniscus tear.

Meniscus Tear

The meniscus is a rubbery, C-shaped disc that cushions your knee. A meniscus tear is a common knee injury that happens when one or more of the fibrocartilage strips in the knee (called menisci) is stretched or torn. Meniscus tears can happen during sports or even during simple daily activities such as walking or lifting something heavy. They are usually caused by twisting or turning quickly.
