Musculoskeletal Conditions

Musculoskeletal conditions refer to any disorder or injury that affects the ligaments, tendons, bones, muscles or joints in the body. Some conditions resulting from injury are short-term, while others stem from long-term, chronic diseases. These issues may arise from injury, trauma, overuse, aging, poor posture, disease, infections and genetic factors. They can lead to restricted movement, weakness, inflammation, stiffness and pain.

Individualized plans typically include physical therapy, occupational therapy, home exercise programs and non-opioid-based pain management regimens.
