Mus­cu­los­kel­etal com­p­laints

Mus­cu­los­kel­etal com­p­laints are com­p­laints that ori­gi­na­te in the mus­cles and joints, i.e. the mus­cu­los­kel­etal sy­stem of the hu­man body, and cau­se va­rious in­ten­si­ties and qua­li­ties of pain, so­me­times as­so­cia­ted with ra­dia­ti­on to are­as of the body that are far re­mo­ved from the ac­tu­al source of the pain.

Sym­ptoms

  • Localised and/or radiating pain of varying quality and intensity
  • Signs of inflammation (swelling, redness, warmth, pain, restriction of movement)

Cau­ses

The causes are often long-term overloading of individual joints or entire body sections due to one-sided movements and/or strain and incorrect posture. However, musculoskeletal pain can also occur acutely following accidents and orthopaedic surgery.

Dia­gno­sis

Medical history, clinical examination, radiological diagnostics

Pos­si­ble tre­at­ments

Many different options are available for the treatment of musculoskeletal complaints: Manual therapy, medical training therapy, electrotherapy and ultrasound, kinesio taping, massage, heat therapy and much more.

The focus of the therapy is always on achieving the individual goal, which is usually determined during the initial contact with the therapist. In order to guarantee the success of the therapy, an essential part of the treatment is the creation of a sensible exercise programme that can be carried out independently at home without great effort.
