Musculoskeletal Disorders in Children

Musculoskeletal disorders in children refer to a range of conditions affecting the bones, muscles, and joints. These disorders can result from various causes, including congenital issues, injuries, infections, or genetic conditions. Common examples include scoliosis (curvature of the spine), limb deformities, and fractures. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing these conditions and preventing long-term complications. Treatment options can range from physical therapy and braces to surgery, depending on the severity and type of disorder. Overall, awareness and early intervention can significantly improve outcomes for affected children.
