1. Headaches
Headaches are caused by many different things including sinus infections, migraines, tension headaches, and muscle strains. There are several types of headaches, each with their own cause. Tension headaches are often caused by stress, anxiety, and depression. Migraine headaches are caused by inflammation of blood vessels in the head. Sinus headaches are caused by blockages in the sinuses. Muscle strain headaches are caused by tight muscles in the neck.
2. Back pain

3. Joint pain
Joint pain is caused by arthritis, bursitis, gout, tendonitis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis is a condition where joints become inflamed and painful. Bursitis is swelling around a joint causing pain. Gout is a type of arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the body. Tendinitis is inflammation of tendons. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the joints.
4. Neck pain
Neck pain is caused by a variety of conditions including whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome, pinched nerves, and spinal stenosis. Whiplash occurs when a person is hit from behind and thrown forward. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on the wrist. Pinched nerves are nerve damage caused by compression. Spinal stenosis is narrowing of the spaces between vertebrae.
5. Shoulder pain
Shoulder pain is caused by a number of conditions including rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, and frozen shoulder. Rotator cuff tears are a tear in the rotator cuff muscles. Impingement syndrome is when the shoulder blade presses into the acromion bone. Frozen shoulder is a condition where the shoulder becomes stiff and immobile.
6. Leg pain
Leg pain is caused by a wide range of conditions including shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, and fibromyalgia. Shin splints are caused by overuse of the leg muscles. Achilles tendonitis is inflammation of the Achilles tendon. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition where the patient feels pain throughout the body.

Callouses are thick layers of skin formed on the bottom of the foot.
