Your neck, also called the cervical spine, begins at the base of the skull and contains seven small vertebrae.

There is no reason for anybody to suffer from back pain.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition characterized by pain, numbness and tingling in the hands and fingers. This condition is caused by compression of the median nerve as it crosses the wrist.

Arm pain is any type of pain or discomfort in the arm, which is considered the area from the shoulder joint to the wrist joint.

Leg pain is any type of pain or discomfort in the leg, from the hip joint to the heels. Leg pain is a fairly common complaint.
