Musculoskeletal pain is pain that affects the
muscles, ligaments and tendons, and bones.

3. What Causes Musculoskeletal
Pain?
The causes of musculoskeletal pain are varied. Muscle
tissue can be damaged with the wear and tear of daily
activities. Trauma to an area (jerking movements, auto
accidents, falls, fractures, sprains, dislocations,
direct blows to the muscle) also can
and
cause
musculoskeletal pain. Other causes of pain include
postural strain, repetitive movements, overuse, and
prolonged immobilization. Changes in posture or poor
body mechanics may bring about spinal alignment
problems and muscle shortening, therefore causing
other muscles to be misused and become painful.

complain that their entire bodies ache. Their
muscles may feel like they have been pulled or
overworked. Sometimes, the muscles twitch or
