DURING THIS BROADCAST YOUR DOCS DISCUSS
Crucial Areas of Diabetes-Related Musculoskeletal Complications Including:
Syndrome of Limited Joint Mobility (Diabetic Cheiroarthropathy) – Stiffness and thickening of hand joints, limiting finger movement. Learn from our expert on how you can deal with this condition once you detect it.
Trigger Finger (Flexor Tenosynovitis) – A condition where fingers (typically one in a time) get locked in a bent position. We’ll discover therapeutic approaches including surgery to allow you to have your normal hand function back.
Positive Prayer Sign (Flexor Tenosynovitis) – Inability to press palms together completely. Recognizing this sign may be an indication of other abnormalities elsewhere that you may be able to identify and treat.
Dupuytren’s Contracture – Thickening of tissue in the palm, causing fingers to bend inward. Awareness helps in early intervention, preserving hand function is essential for diabetes self-care.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Compression of the median nerve, causing numbness and tingling in the fingers. Early treatment can prevent permanent nerve damage and maintain dexterity needed for diabetes management tasks and playing pickleball!

Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) – Stiffness and severe pain in the shoulder joint. Recognizing frozen shoulder early and referral to a knowledgeable physical therapist is crucial to prevent it from progressing to an extreme state (forget about pickleball!)
Charcot Joint (Diabetic Osteoarthropathy) – Weakening of the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the foot leading to collapse of the important infrastructure of your feet. Learn how to prevent and treat this mobility limiting condition.
