What Are Musculoskeletal Disorders?

Musculoskeletal disorders encompass issues related to bones, joints, muscles, and other connective tissues in the body. These disorders are most common in older adults but can also affect younger individuals, especially those who work in office environments or are athletes. Common conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, back pain, tendinitis, and osteoporosis.

Causes and Symptoms:

Musculoskeletal disorders can result from injuries, natural aging processes, or autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Common symptoms include joint pain, morning stiffness, swelling, reduced mobility, and a feeling of weakness or sharp pain in muscles or tendons.

Diagnosis and Treatment via Telehealth Services:

Wellcare’s telehealth services allow you to easily receive medical consultations from musculoskeletal specialists without needing to visit a clinic. During a video call, doctors can diagnose symptoms, recommend necessary tests, and create appropriate treatment plans. Additionally, you will receive specific guidance on exercises and pain management therapies that you can perform at home.

1. Is joint pain a sign of arthritis?

   Our doctors will help you differentiate between joint pain due to arthritis and other causes such as injuries or mechanical stress.

2. What should I do if I have persistent back pain?

   You can receive advice on pain management, exercises, and preventive measures to avoid recurring back pain.

3. Can I self-treat tendon pain, or do I need to see a doctor?

   Telehealth services will help you understand the extent of tendon damage and the appropriate treatment methods, from rest and medication to physical therapy.

4. I’m concerned about osteoporosis; should I get a bone density test?

   The doctor will advise you on when to check your bone density and how to enhance bone health through diet and calcium supplementation.

5. What can I do to prevent osteoarthritis?

   The doctor can provide recommendations on a healthy lifestyle, diet, and appropriate exercises to protect your joints and maintain bodily flexibility.
