A complex and integrated system of bones, ligaments, nerves, muscles and tendons, your neck and spine comprise the frame that supports your entire body. In addition to protecting the spinal cord, your spine and neck provide strength and stability to all other body parts and enable you to move, lift, bend, turn, stretch and engage in a wide range of motions. Because of the neck and spines’ central role in empowering the body to move, any issue, small or large, can have a dramatic impact on the function and mobility of other parts of the body.

Shoulders provide the greatest range of motion of all the joints in the body. However, shoulders are also known as the least stable joints because they sit upon the shoulder blade, which is a moving platform. In the case of shoulders, instability is essential to their primary function of equipping arms with the ability to move in any direction. Complex and well-coordinated, shoulders also supply arms and hands with the support, strength and stability necessary to lift, push and pull objects.

Elbow injuries, including fractures and soft tissue injuries, can make normal everyday tasks both painful and difficult. At Ventura Orthopedics, our medical staff is equipped with the most current medical facilities to properly diagnose and treat your elbow issues. Whether you have a sports injury, fracture, or any elbow related disease, the physicians, physical and occupational therapists at Ventura Orthopedics can provide comprehensive medical treatment to help you get relief.

Nearly one quarter of the motor cortex, which is the part of the brain that controls body movements, is devoted to hand and wrist movements. Your hands and wrists — or upper extremities — feature the most bones of any area of the body. A complex structure of bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and nerves, your hands and wrists are as strong as they are sensitive. As the most active part of your body, your upper extremities empower you to accomplish a number of daily tasks requiring fine motor skills, such as playing sports, typing and communicating with others.

Hips are one of the strongest joint structures in the body and are part of the pelvic girdle, which connects the lower and upper body. Known as a ‘ball and socket’ joint, the femur comprises the ‘ball’ and the hip is the socket in which it rests. As powerful weight-bearing joints, your hips enable your body to move forwards, backwards, inwards, outwards and twist in a full range of motions, all while fully supporting the weight of your upper body.

The knee is a complex series of interworking joints that connect your upper and lower legs and provide stability to your body as you engage in activities that require both strength and movement. A small wonder, knees are said to experience more stress than any other joint in the body and are often responsible for carrying up to five times a person’s body weight when performing movements such as running, walking downhill or taking the stairs.

Did you know that one quarter of the bones in the human body are in the feet? That’s right, your feet and ankles are comprised of 52 bones, 66 joints and more than 200 ligaments, tendons and muscles. This complex foundational system supports your body in performing a number of activities such as standing, walking, running, dancing and beyond.
