Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is characterized by the slow breakdown of the cartilage within joints, leading to swelling, stiffness, and pain that tends to worsen with time. A five-year study found that sedentary adults with diabetes developed osteoarthritis more often than physically active adults (38.9% vs. 29.6%) and were also more likely to experience joint pain (36.0% vs. 27.3%), highlighting another potential benefit of regular physical activity.

Myogenic temporomandibular disorders are disorders of the jaw muscles and surrounding tissues that can cause jaw pain, difficulty chewing, headaches, and limited jaw movement. A recent randomized clinical trial found that patients with myogenic temporomandibular disorders achieved greater pain relief and functional improvement when manual therapy was added to standard splint therapy. These findings add to growing evidence that addressing neck dysfunction may improve outcomes for some people with jaw-related disorders.
