Musculoskeletal problems affect one in every four people and can strike nearly every area of your body. 

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons:

  • Arthritis is the leading chronic condition reported by the elderly.
  • Back or spine injuries are the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Sprains, dislocations and fractures account for almost half of all musculoskeletal injuries.
  • More than half of all athletic injuries occur in the knee. Orthopedic surgeons treat knees more often than any other part of the body.
