💤 Poor sleep and chronic musculoskeletal pain are closely connected, and this review brings together evidence showing how strongly each one influences the other.

Research across experimental, cohort, and longitudinal studies found that sleep disturbance is extremely common in chronic pain conditions, affecting up to 67–88% of patients. Rates were also high in specific groups, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia.

The authors noted that disrupted or shortened sleep can heighten pain responses and even predict higher pain levels the following day. In many studies, sleep problems were a stronger predictor of future pain than pain was of future sleep disruption.

The review also highlighted treatment approaches, with CBT-i and related cognitive behavioral therapies showing the strongest evidence for improving sleep in people with chronic pain.

Overall, the findings suggest that improving sleep quality may play an important role in reducing chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Hard hits don’t always heal fast. 🏈

Even a single tackle can leave lasting damage to the spine, joints, and nerves, especially in the neck and lower back.

Common post-collision injuries include:

✔️ Whiplash and neck strain
✔️ Disc herniation or bulging discs
✔️ Nerve irritation or pinched nerves
✔️ Shoulder or upper-back pain
✔️ Chronic headaches or stiffness

Symptoms might not appear until days later, when inflammation and nerve pressure start to build.

💉 Interventional pain management targets these hidden injuries with precise, non-surgical treatment so you can recover strength and mobility safely.

Progress slows when you push nonstop. Sometimes the smartest move is to pause, breathe, and let your body catch up with your effort. Rest is part of the process.

Still hurting after surgery? You’re not alone. ⚡️

Sometimes pain lingers long after healing because nerves stay irritated or scar tissue develops around them. Interventional pain treatments, like nerve blocks, ablations, or spinal cord stimulation, can calm those signals and help you move forward again. Relief isn’t about undoing the surgery; it’s about giving your body a second chance to heal comfortably.

💡 Save this post if you or someone you know is still dealing with post-surgery pain.

👉🏼Needle placement under live fluoroscopy…

At the C6–C7 level, the physician advances the needle slowly toward the target foramen, confirming alignment in real time before any injection begins. This phase ensures medication, when delivered, reaches the correct space while protecting nearby vessels and the spinal cord.

Not all back pain comes from a nerve…sometimes it’s the disc itself. 💥

Discogenic pain happens when a spinal disc becomes damaged or degenerated, triggering pain signals from within the disc. It’s often felt deep in the lower back and worsens when sitting, bending, or lifting.

🧠 Common causes include:
• Disc dehydration and aging
• Tiny tears in the outer disc (annular tears)
• Repetitive strain or injury

Treatment often starts conservatively 👉🏼 physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medication, or targeted injections, before considering surgical options like disc replacement or fusion.

💾 Save this post to recognize the signs early and always talk to your pain specialist for a tailored plan.

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points in the body to improve blood flow, relax tight muscles, and release natural pain-relieving chemicals. 🩹 It’s often used as part of a broader plan to manage chronic pain and restore balance.

Talk to your doctor before starting acupuncture to make sure it’s appropriate for your condition.

🦴 Small ligament, major stability.

The annular ligament anchors the radius to the ulna, keeping your forearm rotation smooth and controlled.
Overuse, repetitive twists, or sudden force can irritate it, especially in athletes or anyone doing repeated arm motions.

When this ligament is strained, even simple tasks like turning a key can trigger sharp pain.
