Joints connect bone to bone and help facilitate movement. So, it’s
no surprise that when there is inflammation, swelling or damage to
one or more joints, that this can affect your mobility. Joint pain is
incredibly common, most commonly reported in the knees, but often
impacting the shoulder, hips, ankles and feet, as well. Joint pain
can occur just about anywhere in the body and may be caused by an
acute condition or chronic disorder. Here at Scott Wagner Integrated
