Most injuries to the musculoskeletal system are a result of improper function. This can mean many different things, such as repetitive movement, or overuse, poor movement patterns, lack of movement, or poor posture. All of these different but very COMMON situations can and will lead to injury.
The musculoskeletal system is exactly that, a system. It functions in accordance with the nervous system. This relationship is commonly referred to as the NEUROMUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM. Each part affects, and is affected by, every other part of the system. For this reason, it is very common that the site of pain is not the true cause of the problem. It is usually the effect or result of an injury in another part of the system.
As the spine is the central hub of the musculoskeletal system, and also houses the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system, it will be affected by injuries or dysfunction in all other parts of the body. On the other hand, if the spine itself is dysfunctional, it will affect other areas as well. This is why it is essential to assess and treat the patient as a whole, instead of only looking to the site of pain. |
