Ayurveda & Musculoskeletal Disorders

About the Conference

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are conditions affecting the muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. They can range from acute injuries like sprains and strains to chronic conditions like arthritis and osteoporosis. MSDs are a leading cause of disability and lost work time, particularly in physically demanding jobs.
Types of MSDs:

Tendonitis: Inflammation of tendons, often due to overuse or repetitive movements.

Carpal tunnel syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist, causing pain and numbness in the hand and fingers.

Osteoporosis: A condition causing bones to become weak and brittle.

Back Pain: A common complaint resulting from various causes, including muscle strains, disc problems, or arthritis.

Arthritis: A group of conditions causing inflammation and pain in the joints.
Sprains and Strains: Injuries to ligaments and muscles, respectively, often from overexertion or sudden movements.
