Musculoskeletal impairments comprises of the conditions that affect the system and are characterized by impairments in the muscles, bones, joints and adjacent connective tissues leading to temporary or lifelong limitations in functioning and participation.
Musculoskeletal conditions are typically characterized by pain (often persistent) and limitations in mobility and dexterity, reducing people’s ability to work and participate in society.

Hence, a detailed history- taking, mechanical evaluation helps decide the patient management plan for complete pain relief.
