Musculoskeletal Conditions 

The problems involved with musculoskeletal conditions include issues related to the joints, bones and muscles. In Australia, more than 1 million citizens face a form of back pain, whether it is related to their muscles, joints, connective tissues or the nerve located at their back. There are more than 150 types of musculoskeletal conditions, here are the most popular ones:

 

1. Osteoporosis

Over 900,000 Australians suffer from this condition, known to cause the thinning of bones. Your bones will become weak, easy to break and fragile. Without warning, osteoporosis will gradually develop over the years. One of the common ways to detect it is when a person fractures their bones, for instance, when they fall and fractured part of their body. 

 

2. Osteoarthritis

3. Back pain

Scoliosis is a common condition that could occur during birth or develop over time. Those who experience scoliosis should visit the doctor regularly as it requires regular checkups. For severe cases, they would need to go for surgery to straighten or realign the spine. 

 

5. Rheumatoid arthritis

This condition is not that common compared to the rest, it does happen to individuals that have low immune systems. It is an autoimmune disease that affects the lining of the joints which causes the joints to be damaged and inflamed. 

 

6. Juvenile arthritis

The medical condition that causes harm to the joints is called arthritis. Over 3 million Australians experience arthritis, which is quite a huge number for both adults and children alone. Their joints become swollen, stiff, deformed and painful. Juvenile arthritis, however, is for children below 16 years of age that suffers from this particular condition. Arthritis in children could last for several months or years, depending on the type of arthritis. 

 

7. Lupus

severe disease

Lupus is another autoimmune disease that affects all parts of the body caused by several environmental and genetic factors. This condition is quite rare but regularly occurs with women between the ages of 15 to 45. Some of the symptoms include skin rashes, swelling in the joints, fever, and tiredness.

Though there are several other programs out there such as the Back in Action Kimberly Clark Program, the programs held by the government are usually free and the public could access them easily. 

 

Below are some of the programs and treatments for musculoskeletal conditions by the government:
