Musculoskeletal system

The human musculoskeletal system is a frame that gives support, movement to the whole body and gives a certain appearance to a person. It is impossible even to imagine what the human body would be like and how it would exist if it did not have it. It is a complex mechanism made up of many building blocks (bones, joints, tendons, muscles, cartilage) that enable the entire body to function as a whole. Healthy bones and joints are the absence of moments when something inside crunches, hurts and does not cause difficulty during movement. Taking care of your skeletal frame, keeping it young is vital.

There are three categories of diseases: the skeletal system, muscles and joints. It is worth noting that there are two types of damage to this body system: in the first type, the disease is primary, in the second, it is a consequence of another disease, i.e. which are symptomatic.

The causes of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system are still not completely clear. The most likely cause is genetic factors and autoimmune diseases. Other factors that put a person at risk include disruption of the endocrine system and metabolic processes, foci of infection, neglected microtrauma and, of course, previous infections.

Symptoms accompanying diseases of the musculoskeletal system can be different. First of all, this is weakness and pain in muscles, joints and bones, which increases at night or in damp cold weather, as well as stiffness in movement. Rash and skin irritation and fever may indicate collagenosis. It happens that the disease manifests itself as attacks of cold, chills, pale fingers, decreased or complete loss of sensitivity in the limbs. The most common diseases in this group:

∙ rheumatoid arthritis;

∙ rheumatoid arthritis;

∙ osteoarthritis;

∙ osteomyelitis;

∙ gout;

∙ systemic scleroderma;

∙ osteochondrosis;

∙ rickets.

Treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and joints is primarily aimed at reducing pain, as well as the need for taking medications.
