The musculoskeletal system encompasses vital components like muscles, bones, joints, and the connective tissues surrounding joints, including tendons and ligaments, crucial for the body's movement functions. Deterioration and injury to the musculoskeletal system can give rise to various conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, osteoporosis, muscle strains, and sprains. These issues often manifest as persistent, dull pain, potentially leading to temporary or permanent limitations in mobility. Seeking an musculoskeletal examination with a specialist at Yersin International Clinic helps patients detect early signs in the initial stages, aiding in more effective prevention and treatment of the condition.
