Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are injuries or conditions that affect muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other supporting tissues. They often result from repetitive motions, overuse, poor posture, or strain, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced movement. Common examples include back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and muscle strains. MSDs can develop gradually over time and may impact daily activities and work performance. Preventing them involves proper ergonomics, regular breaks, stretching, and maintaining good posture. Treatment varies based on the condition but may include physical therapy, medication, or ergonomic adjustments.
