Musculoskeletal Medicine
Musculoskeletal Medicine
Musculoskeletal medicine is a specialised field of healthcare that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. This includes the bones, muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments.
Musculoskeletal health is vital for your overall well-being, as it ensures that your muscles, joints, and bones function together for effortless movement and stability in your daily life.
When any component of the musculoskeletal system is compromised—be it due to injury, illness, degeneration, or natural wear and tear—the repercussions can be severe, leading to pain, stiffness, and diminished function and mobility.
The World Health Organisation has highlighted that musculoskeletal conditions are not only the leading cause of disability but also a major driver of health-related costs in Australia and worldwide.

By adopting this comprehensive approach, you can significantly enhance your ability to manage pain and improve your overall quality of life.
Key Strategies for Coping and Managing Pain can be broadly categorised into medical, physical, psychological, and lifestyle approaches.
