Musculoskeletal Disorders

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) refer to a range of conditions that affect the muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. These disorders can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, impacting daily activities. Common examples include arthritis, tendonitis, and back pain. MSDs can result from various factors, including injury, overuse, poor posture, and age-related wear and tear. They are prevalent in both working and non-working populations and can often be managed or treated through physical therapy, exercise, medication, and lifestyle changes. Understanding and addressing MSDs is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.
