Bursitis
An inflammation of the fluid filled bursa sacs, which act as a cushion. They are located were attending or ligament rubs against other tissue within the joints.
48
Disc Bulge
A protrusion of the nucleus pulpoaus, which remains covered by the annular fibers and posterior longitudinal ligament
49
Disc herniation
A tear in the end you annulus fibrosis with extension of the nuclear material through the anulus into the spinal canal with no loss of continuity of the extended material.
50
Epicondylitis
Inflammation, irritation and pain in the medial, or more often, the lateral epicondyle of the humerus
51
Fibromyalgia
An autoimmune condition of muscle producing swelling chronic pain and tender nodules with in muscle tissue
52
Osteoarthritis
A degenerative , inflammatory joint condition in which the articular cartilage softens, producing pain and stiffness especially after inactivity
53
Osteoporosis
A condition common among postmenopausal women in which a greater number of bone cells are destroyed that are synthesized.
54
Rheumatoid arthritis
An autoimmune form of arthritis, more common in women, in which the synovial lining will thicken, causing inflammation, pain stiffness and nodular formation.
55
Sprain
When a ligament is stretched beyond it's normal elastic limit resulting in injury
56
Strain
When a muscle is stretched beyond its normal elastic limit, resulting in a traumatic injury
57
Tendinitis
An inflammation of the specialized connective tissue which acts to unite muscle to bone.
58
Synovitis
Inflammation of the synovial lining of the joint capsule.
59
Angina pectoris
Chest pains result when the myocardium has decreased oxygen and nutrients because of inadequate coronary circulation.
60
Arrhythmia
An irregular heart rate
61
Arteriosclerosis
Artery disease hardening of the arteries and loss of elasticity in the arterial walls
62
Atherosclerosis
Hardening of the arteries due to the formation of plaque, which obstructs arterial blood flow within the arteries
63
Bradycardia
An abnormally slow heart rate less than 60 beats per minutes.
64
Coronary occlusion
An obstruction in a coronary artery
65
Hypertension
Elevated blood pressure such that the systolic measurement is greater than or equal to 140 mm HG and the diastolic measurement is greater than or equal to 90 mm HG confirmed on two separate occasions

Myocardial infarction
Heart attack, when myocardial cells are deprived of their blood supply.
67
Tachycardia
An abnormally fast heart rate.
68
