Warning:

Pain at the base of the thumb when opening jars, turning keys, or gripping objects could be more than everyday soreness — it may be basal joint arthritis. Because of how much pressure and movement the thumb handles over the years, this joint is one of the most common areas in the hand affected by arthritis.

At Modern Orthopaedics, understanding the source of thumb pain is the first step toward protecting mobility, improving grip strength, and helping patients stay comfortable during everyday activities. If you’ve been noticing persistent thumb pain or weakness, it may be time to have it evaluated.

Are you at risk for hip osteoarthritis?

Several factors can increase your risk, including family history, previous hip injuries, rheumatoid arthritis, and certain medical conditions that affect blood flow to the hip joint.

While some risk factors can’t be changed, understanding them can help you recognize symptoms early and seek treatment before pain begins to impact your daily life.

Frozen shoulder recovery is all about restoring motion, reducing stiffness, and helping patients get back to everyday life as comfortably as possible. At Modern Orthopaedics, treatment doesn’t stop after the procedure — therapy and continued movement play a major role in making sure patients maintain their progress and regain confidence in their mobility.

While some soreness during recovery can be normal, the goal is steady improvement in motion, function, and overall quality of life. If shoulder stiffness or pain has been limiting your day-to-day activities, Modern Orthopaedics is here to help guide you through the recovery process.

Does your pain go away with rest, only to come right back when you return to activity?

That could be a sign that the injury hasn’t fully healed. While rest may temporarily reduce symptoms, returning to sports, exercise, or daily activities too soon can re-aggravate the injured area and delay recovery.

If you’re stuck in a cycle of feeling better, then hurting again, it may be time for a proper evaluation. Getting the right diagnosis is the first step toward lasting relief.

Frozen shoulder often starts gradually. What begins as nighttime discomfort or stiffness can slowly turn into pain with everyday movements like getting dressed, brushing your teeth, reaching overhead, or even simple tasks at work. Over time, that loss of motion can start impacting nearly every part of daily life.

At Modern Orthopaedics, early recognition and treatment are key to helping patients manage pain, restore mobility, and prevent symptoms from progressing further. If you’ve noticed increasing stiffness or difficulty moving your shoulder, it may be time to get it evaluated.
