Bursitis: inflammation of fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion joints, causing pain, swelling and reduced movement—common in shoulders, hips, elbows and knees. Learn causes, symptoms, treatment options and prevention tips for faster recovery and better joint health.

Migraine vs headache: headaches are general head pain (tension, dehydration, sinuses); migraines are intense, recurrent neurological events with throbbing pain, light/sound sensitivity, nausea and visual symptoms.

Bulging disc: when a spinal disc’s outer fibres weaken and its inner gel pushes outward, pressing nearby nerves and causing neck or back pain, tingling, numbness or weakness; conservative care like osteopathy, exercise and posture changes often relieve symptoms.
