STIFFNESS

Stiff joints cause reduced mobility or even hinder the mobility of the joints. You may have difficulty in moving the joints. In some cases, the problem is so grave that the entire movement of the joints is stopped. Stiffness can be caused due to a number of problems and some of the underlying causes are:

  • Broken bones
  • Dislocation of bones
  • Overuse injury
  • Stress and strains
  • Stress fracture
  • Repetitive motion disorders
