Musculoskeletal (MSK) includes over 200 different conditions affecting joints, bones, muscles and soft tissues and covers individual services like Orthopaedics, Rheumatology, Chronic Pain and Physiotherapy. As well as back and neck pain MSK services also deals with shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, ankle and foot problems.
