Effective Musculoskeletal Pain Relief in Richardson, TX
Musculoskeletal pain is any pain relating to or involving the muscles and the skeleton. It is not a secret that chronic musculoskeletal pain is the number-one cause of disability in North America. Nor is it a secret that chronic back pain is the leading cause of disability in Americans under the age of 45.
The musculoskeletal disorders that most commonly produce pain requiring medical attention are osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, lower back pain and neck pain. Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, affects more than 20 million Americans. Osteoarthritis is so prevalent in Americans older than 65 that 70% are estimated to have the disease. Fibromyalgia affects 6 million people and accounts for 10% of patients seen in general practice.
While information on the occurrence of neck pain is less well known, statistics show that 50% to 80% of people will be disabled by lower back pain – some more severely than others – at some point. At any given time, 1% of the United States population is temporarily disabled by back pain, while another 1% is disabled by chronic back pain (about 3 million people). Other musculoskeletal disorders include certain types of headache, myofascial pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, spinal stenosis, osteoporotic compression, sports injuries, metastatic vertebral fractures, shoulder pain, arm and leg pain.
