Understanding Musculoskeletal Conditions
Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are a leading cause of pain, disability, and lost productivity. Most adults experience an MSK issue at some point in their lives, especially as the risk increases with age. These disorders involve the muscles, bones, and connective tissues, often impacting mobility and quality of life.
Acute vs. Chronic MSK Issues
MSK pain can be acute or chronic. Acute injuries occur suddenly and may include:
- Fractures
- Dislocations
- Sprains
- Strains
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
Chronic MSK conditions, which develop over time, often result from overuse. Common examples include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
Sports-Related Musculoskeletal Injuries
Active lifestyles can also lead to specific MSK injuries, such as:
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis elbow
- Golfer’s elbow
- Runner’s knee
- Meniscal tears
- Achilles tendinitis
