Musculoskeletal diseases can arise owing to ageing, injuries, repetitive strain, genetic predisposition, infections, inflammatory conditions, or excess body weight. Common instances include arthritis, osteoporosis, back discomfort, tendonitis, bursitis, muscle strains, and joint degeneration.

Symptoms may include persistent discomfort, stiffness, oedema, decreased flexibility, muscle weakness, and trouble with normal physical activity.
Obesity also raises the risk of musculoskeletal diseases by exerting extra stress on weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, ankles, and lower back. Over time, this increased pressure accelerates cartilage wear and tear, adds to joint degeneration, and restricts mobility. A sedentary lifestyle can also weaken muscles and make joints less stable, making it more likely that you will get an injury and making any suffering worse.

Early diagnosis and effective therapy can prevent progression of the condition and enhance long-term function. Treatment generally includes weight reduction, regular low-impact exercise, physical therapy, pain-relieving drugs, lifestyle changes, and, in difficult situations, surgery. Excellent measures for maintaining musculoskeletal health, minimising pain, and improving quality of life include maintaining a healthy body weight, eating a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, practising excellent posture, and being physically active.
