Musculoskeletal Evaluation

A musculoskeletal evaluation assesses the health and function of muscles, bones, joints, and soft tissues. It involves examining a person's physical movements, checking for pain, stiffness, weakness, or swelling, and may include physical tests and imaging if needed. This evaluation helps identify issues like injuries, arthritis, or other conditions affecting mobility. The goal is to understand the cause of symptoms, determine the severity, and develop an appropriate treatment plan to improve function and reduce discomfort. It is a critical step in diagnosing and managing musculoskeletal health concerns effectively.
