Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): Musculoskeletal Diseases

Musculoskeletal diseases are a group of conditions that affect the muscles, bones, joints, tendons, ligaments and other connective tissue in the body. These diseases can cause pain, inflammation, stiffness, and reduced mobility and functionality. Some examples of musculoskeletal diseases include:

Osteoarthritis: a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage that cushions the joints.

Rheumatoid arthritis: an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation in the joints and can lead to joint damage and loss of function.

Osteoporosis: a condition characterized by the loss of bone density, which increases the risk of fractures.

Gout: a type of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints.

Tendinitis: an inflammation or irritation of the tendons.

Myositis: a group of inflammatory muscle diseases that can cause muscle weakness and pain.

Musculoskeletal diseases are common, and they can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life. Treatment options vary depending on the specific disease and its severity, but they may include medications, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and surgery. Additionally, preventative measures such as exercise, weight management, and avoiding smoking can help to prevent the onset of these diseases.

Musculoskeletal diseases can also be related to other diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease or lung disease, so a holistic approach to healthcare is important in treating these conditions.
