Limited movement refers to a restriction in the normal range of motion in a joint or body part, which can hinder a person's ability to perform everyday activities. This condition can affect various joints, including the shoulders, hips, knees, or spine, and may result in discomfort, stiffness, or pain. Causes of limited movement are diverse and can include injuries such as fractures or sprains, which can lead to swelling or structural changes in the joint. Chronic conditions like arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, cause joint inflammation and damage, leading to reduced mobility. Muscle or tendon injuries, such as strains or tears, can also impair movement by causing pain and limiting function. Additionally, conditions like frozen shoulder, where the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful, or spinal disorders, such as herniated discs, can restrict movement. Treatment for limited movement depends on the underlying cause. For acute injuries, rest, ice, compression, and elevation (R.I.C.E.) can help manage pain and swelling. Physical therapy is often recommended to improve range of motion, strengthen surrounding muscles, and increase flexibility. Medications, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids, can reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. In some cases, joint injections or surgical interventions may be necessary to address the root cause of the restriction. Engaging in regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and using assistive devices, if needed, can also support improved mobility. Consulting a healthcare professional is crucial for a proper diagnosis and to develop a tailored treatment plan.
