Common Causes of Joint Pain

The most common causes include:

Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of knee, hip, and shoulder pain. It happens when joint cartilage wears down over time.

Sports Injuries

Sprains, strains, and ligament injuries can occur during exercise or physical activity.

Overuse Injuries

Repetitive motion from work or daily activities can lead to inflammation.

Back and Neck Strain

Poor posture and heavy lifting often cause muscle strain.
