Musculoskeletal Injuries
The causes of musculoskeletal injuries and their associated pain are many and can vary widely. Muscle tissue can be damaged through the mechanics of daily work or other activities, athletic activities or some sort of external trauma to the affected area. Other causes of musculoskeletal pain can include: poor posture, repetitive stress injury, overuse, and a prolonged immobilization of the area. Poor posture and harmful body mechanics may bring about musculoskeletal problems and sometimes even muscle shortening, which can become problematic and become painful.

- Pain
