Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries or illnesses that affect muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons and other connective tissues. Fortunately however stem cells may offer a promising treatment for MSDs. In this presentation, Dr. David Greene R3 Stem Cell provides information about musculoskeletal disorders, therapies and treatment options.

2. Musculoskeletal
Disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
are conditions that can affect your
muscles, bones, and joints.

3. • Tendonitis
• Ligament Sprains
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
• Bone Fractures
• Back and Neck Pain
• Cartilage Defects

4. STIFF JOINTS
SWELLING
RECURRENT
PAIN
DULL ACHES
MUSCLE
TWITCHES
FATIGUE

5. • Joint Dislocation
• Bone Fractures
• Overuse Injuries
• Poor Posture
• Direct blows to muscles,
bones or joints
• Sprains

6. Practice Correct
Lifting Techniques
Use Good Posture
Limit Repetitive
Movements
Stretch Regularly

7. Advancements in stem cell research may
provide more effective on-pharmacologic
treatment methods for various types of
MSD-related pain. Such therapies could
reduce or eliminate the need for repetitive
drug administration and have longer-lasting
effects, thus improving patient quality of life
and reducing healthcare costs.

8. • Eat A Healthy, Non-Inflammatory
Diet
• Take Pain Medications As
Prescribed
• Stretch Daily Or as Often As Your
Healthcare Provider Advises
• Avoid Smoking, Which Increases
Inflammation
• Rest The Injured Muscle, Joint Or
Bone
