Understanding Musculoskeletal Pain and Dysfunction

Musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction encompass a broad spectrum of discomfort and limitations that affect the body’s muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These issues can arise from various causes, including injuries, overuse, poor posture, age-related wear and tear, and underlying medical conditions.

Such conditions can significantly impact your quality of life by restricting movement, causing pain, and reducing overall functionality.

Risks and Contributing Factors

Several factors can contribute to the development of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. These may include:

1. Lifestyle Choices: Sedentary lifestyles, excessive weight, and poor ergonomic practices can strain muscles and joints.
2. Injuries: Accidents, sports-related incidents, and falls can lead to acute or chronic pain.
3. Repetitive Movements: Repetitive motions at work or during activities can result in overuse injuries.
4. Age: As we age, our musculoskeletal tissues undergo natural wear and tear, increasing the risk of pain and dysfunction.
5. Genetics: Genetic predispositions can influence susceptibility to certain musculoskeletal conditions.

Common Conditions We Treat

At Core One Physical Therapy, our experienced therapists are skilled in addressing a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including but not limited to:

1. Low Back Pain: One of the most prevalent musculoskeletal issues, low back pain can stem from herniated discs, muscle imbalances, or poor posture.
2. Neck Pain: Often caused by poor ergonomics, stress, or underlying issues, neck pain can lead to discomfort and limited mobility.
3. Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons due to repetitive strain or overuse, resulting in localized pain and restricted movement.
4. Muscle Strains: Overexertion or sudden movements can lead to muscle fibers tearing, causing pain and functional limitations.
5. Joint Arthritis: A degenerative condition that affects joint cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced joint mobility.
