with irritation of vertebral body periosteal nerves and altered biomechanics on the facet joints and cervical disks. The onus is on the clinician to identify these patients at the initial visit because a delay in diagnosis can have catastrophic consequences. Red flags for axial neck pain that requi...
The focus of this article was to review the pain mechanisms of FD/MAS in axial limb skeletal lesions. This disease can lead to bone pain, spinal deformities, and fractures; moreover, corrective surgery, although commonly used in FD/MAS, does not provide sustained pain relief. Currently, ...

(1). Axial spondyloarthritis is an autoimmune disease that results in inflammation in the spine. A number of therapies exist for this condition and early therapy may prevent progressive spinal fusion. Given the sheer prevalence of low back pain, identifying patients with axial spondyloarthritis can ...
Children frequently receive no or inadequate treatment for pain and painful procedures. The newborn and critically ill child are especially vulnerable to receiving no treatment or under-treatment. The conventional notion that children neither respond to
The patient has a navicular stress fracture likely chronic in nature secondary to overuse from her activity as a high-level gymnast and the history of symptoms. Navicular body fractures result from axial loading, and stress fractures are often seen in explosive athle...
The facet joints in the lower back are frequently subject to large amounts of compressive, shear, and axial loading from regular activities of daily living, exercise, work, and other actions and movements.4Cramer GD. The Lumbar Region. In: Clinical Anatomy of the Spine, Spinal Cord, and Ans...
Squeezing the ulna and radius together causes pain, crepitation, or a snap in a patient with DRUJ disease. The TFCC is palpated just distal to the ulna and may indicate tears to the TFCC. The TFCC load test may reveal these tears by applying an axial load while the patient is ulnar ...
Mechanical pain (axial pain) is pain primarily from the muscles, ligaments, joints (facet joints, sacroiliac joints), or bones in and around the spine. This type of pain tends to be localized to the lower back, buttocks, and sometimes the top of the legs. It is usually influenced by ...
