It encompasses a number of conditions\nthat affect the musculoskeletal system, which is made up of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>joints<\/li><li>muscles<\/li><li>tendons<\/li><li>ligaments<\/li><li>nerves<\/li><li>blood vessels <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In these cases, the affected areas experience the following\nissues:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>pain<\/li><li>tingling sensation<\/li><li>numbness<\/li><li>loss of strength<\/li><li>limited range of motion<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These symptoms often occur because\nthe musculoskeletal system undergoes excessive stress. For example, it is\ncommon to feel neck pain when you have worked too long in front of a screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Musculoskeletal Disorders can take many forms. A <a href=\"https:\/\/londonmskcentre.co.uk\/\">Musculoskeletal Specialist<\/a> is able to assist with conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who is\naffected by Musculoskeletal Disorders?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professionals who work for long hours\nnormally suffer the most from Musculoskeletal Disorders. In fact, in Europe\nanywhere between 40 and 60 percent of workers report an MSD. However, the\nspecific kind of condition that they suffer from depends a lot on the work that\nthey do. In some cases these conditions are caused by work and in others work\ncan exacerbate an existing condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many MSD\u2019s are age-related. An\nexample of an age-related condition would be osteoarthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Accidents can also lead to an MSD.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Musculoskeletal\nDisorders and load bearing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WHO (World Health Organization)\nsays that MSD\u2019s occur when a particular part of the body attempts to bear more\nload than it can carry. Such activities are common. The only way to alleviate\nthe strain of overloading is rest, which allows your body tissues to heal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musculoskeletal Disorders can be\nprevented by keeping in good shape and not overloading from bodies. Having good\nwork environments and learning how to keep your body healthy while undertaking\nrepetitive or strenuous tasks is an important first step. Once an MSD occurs,\nit is advisable to have a Musculoskeletal Specialist treat it swiftly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The expression \u2018Musculoskeletal Disorder\u2019, or MSD, is an umbrella term.
