Understanding the Musculoskeletal System
Whether you’ve had trouble bouncing back from a sports-related injury or need help managing aches and pains, it may be time to talk to a Mercy orthopedic specialist. An orthopedic physician specializes in treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. Your musculoskeletal system is the network of bones, muscles and tissues that frame your body, allowing it to move. It includes:
- Skeleton - supports your body weight and protects your organs
- Muscles - enable you to move almost every part of your body to perform physical activities
- Joints - allow specialized movement where two bones connect, such as your shoulder, hip and knee
- Tendons - attach your muscles to your bones
- Ligaments - attach your bones to other bones
- Cartilage - covers the ends of many bones, allowing them to glide against each other
