What Is Musculoskeletal Pain?
Musculoskeletal pain refers to discomfort or pain that affects the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves.2 It can be acute or chronic, and may occur due to overuse, trauma, postural issues, or degenerative diseases. Common conditions we treat include lower back pain, spinal stenosis, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, and migraines associated with muscular tension.
Common Causes and Types of Pain
Musculoskeletal pain is a common condition affecting roughly 37% of people in the United States.3 Our patients across Dallas–Fort Worth experience a wide range of pain conditions. We focus on treating the root cause of the discomfort rather than masking the symptoms.
Common types of musculoskeletal pain include:
- Lower back pain and lumbar disc issues
- Radiating nerve pain like sciatica
- Joint pain from osteoarthritis
- Neck pain and tension-related headaches
- Widespread discomfort from fibromyalgia
- Myofascial pain syndromes with trigger point sensitivity
Diagnosis and Imaging: X-Rays and Beyond
To create an effective treatment plan, our providers begin with a thorough evaluation that may include physical exams, patient history, and diagnostic imaging such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans. This allows us to identify structural abnormalities and pinpoint the root cause of your musculoskeletal pain.
