Each year, 20% of people in the UK see a doctor about a musculoskeletal (MSK) problem.
MSK conditions are a group of conditions that affect the bones, joints, muscles and spine. There are 3 groups of MSK conditions:
- inflammatory conditions
- for example, rheumatoid arthritis
- conditions of MSK pain
- for example, osteoarthritis, back pain
- osteoporosis and fragility fractures
- for example, fracture after fall from standing height
