- Chronic degenerative joint diseases cause symptoms in nearly half of people over 40 (hip and knee arthritis, arthritis of the small joints of hand, tendonitis, tennis elbow, golf elbow, bursitis, muscle pain in the area of neck, back, shoulders and waist, spinal arthritis conditions, e.g. calcific depositions, scoliosis, intervertebral disc diseases; muscle or connective tissue derived conditions, and autoimmune disorders).
- Development of osteoporosis is becoming earlier and earlier, it might occur in the mid-thirties both in men and women.
- Many forms of inflammatory rheumatological diseases spoil the quality of life (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, systemic autoimmune diseases, spondylarthropathies, other arthritic conditions. There are also forms that were diagnosed in even early childhood.
- Minor but not negligible layer is affected by soft tissue rheumatism and metabolic bone diseases.
- Acute pain syndrome (low back pain, osteoporotic hip, vertebral, forearm fractures, acute arthritis) restricts the daily lifestyle of many patients.
Sedentary lifestyle, sitting work, obesity, unhealthy diet, smoking, excessive alcohol intake play role in development of diseases and complaints. The disease usually develops over a longer period, however the age and hereditary family factors may also contribute the appearance of the symptoms. Sequelae is very common following joint injuries, musculoskeletal surgeries.
