Many types of Injuries can occur in the musculoskeletal system.

     – These injuries can affect ligaments, tendons, muscles, bones and joints. 

While common in athletes due to the amount of force the body undergoes during many sporting activities, orthopedic injuries can also occur due to aging with the wear and tear, overuse, repetitive movements, posture, falls, or accidents.  

 Examples of these types of injuries include:

  • Dislocations
  • Fractures and breaks
  • Impingement
  • Bursitis/Tendinitis
  • Sprained/strained Muscles or Ligaments 
  • Post Operative Conditions
  • Balance Disorders
