Joints and Musculoskeletal Disorders
Joints and musculoskeletal disorders affect the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, causing pain, stiffness, inflammation, and restricted movement. These conditions can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-lasting) and impact daily activities and overall quality of life.
Common Joints and Musculoskeletal Disorders
• Arthritis (Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gout, Psoriatic Arthritis) – Inflammation and degeneration of joints causing pain and stiffness.
• Osteoporosis – Weak and brittle bones prone to fractures.
• Fibromyalgia – Widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and tenderness.
• Ankylosing Spondylitis – Chronic inflammation of the spine leading to stiffness.
• Tendonitis – Inflammation of tendons due to repetitive movements.
• Bursitis – Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) around joints.
• Frozen Shoulder – Stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint.
• Sciatica – Pain radiating from the lower back down the legs due to nerve compression.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Nerve compression in the wrist causing numbness and pain.
• Gout – Excess uric acid accumulation causing painful joint inflammation.
Causes & Risk Factors
• Aging – Increased wear and tear on joints.
• Genetics – Family history of joint disorders.
• Injury or Trauma – Accidents or repetitive strain.
• Obesity – Excess weight puts stress on joints.
• Poor Posture – Leads to muscle and joint strain.
• Nutritional Deficiencies – Lack of calcium, vitamin D, and essential minerals.
• Autoimmune Conditions – Body’s immune system attacking its own tissues.
