Origins of Musculoskeletal Pain

Original Air Date : November 30, 2023

Bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and soft tissues all work together to support your body’s weight and help you move. They also make up your musculoskeletal system.

When you suffer from an injury, disease or aging – any or all of these can cause pain, stiffness and other problems with movement and function. Join us as Dr. Andy Kin On Wong shares the origins of musculoskeletal pain and the challenges it presents.
