Musculoskeletal Pain

People with chronic pain conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system are among the most affected by disability in our community. Musculoskeletal pain is related to conditions affecting the muscles, bones and/or joints, which are also known as musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. They are often but not always related to injury or old age. Painful MSK conditions include arthritis, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, foot pain and osteoporosis.
 

Management

The most effective way to manage pain from MSK conditions is with multidisciplinary pain management and the use of self-management. In a small number of cases, the condition may be improved with joint replacement surgery.
