Abstract

Musculoskeletal pain is the most common single type of chronic pain. That is why this chapter specifically focuses on musculoskeletal pain and disability and what it consists of. Various common forms of musculoskeletal disorders, diagnosing strategies, and treatment strategies for specific musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., low back pain, arthritis, gout, tendon injury, and carpal tunnel syndrome) are discussed. Potential causation theories for musculoskeletal disorders are reviewed as to help discover why certain patients develop musculoskeletal disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders typically involve an integrated complex interaction of many biopsychosocial factors. These complications require the need to treat in a more integrated manner, using strengths from many disciplines to give the injured worker the best chance of recovery. Even with markedly varying economic, occupational, social, and worker compensation programs, the interdisciplinary approach to treating musculoskeletal disorders has been independently confirmed as being an effective treatment method. Therefore, it is essential for treatments to incorporate biopsychosocial approaches with an interdisciplinary treatment management style, making such a symptom management approach more accessible to the patients with musculoskeletal disorders.
