Musculoskeletal medicine, also known as musculoskeletal health or orthopedic medicine, is a medical specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. This complex system includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues.

The primary goal of musculoskeletal medicine is to optimize the health and function of the musculoskeletal system, enabling individuals to maintain an active and pain-free lifestyle. Musculoskeletal medicine practitioners utilize a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating a range of treatment modalities such as physiotherapy, medication, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery.

Common Musculoskeletal Conditions

Common musculoskeletal conditions that musculoskeletal medicine addresses include arthritis, fractures, sprains, strains, back pain, osteoporosis, sports injuries, and degenerative diseases. Musculoskeletal medicine specialists are highly trained in musculoskeletal anatomy, biomechanics, and diagnostic techniques, allowing them to accurately assess and manage musculoskeletal problems.

Overall, musculoskeletal medicine plays a crucial role in restoring mobility, alleviating pain, and improving the quality of life for individuals affected by musculoskeletal disorders.

“My wife has been seeing Dr. Covington for her neck and knee pain. Her knee pain is completely gone and her neck has improved so much. Her neck also used to lean forward and Dr. Covington has managed to help straighten that as well. This has been life changing for her. If you're having trouble or pain, I highly encourage you to visit Covington Chiropractor. You will see results!”

“Dr. Covington was very confident he could help me, when I had been turned away at a different office. I have been in severe pain, crying pain, and agony for many years with no relief after a spinal fusion ($37,000) and years of pain medications! After a few visits with Dr. C, My world has totally changed! I can do my own grocery shopping and drive my car without pain! I wish I had heard about him 10 years ago! Thank You Very Much!! See you soon. RMCW”

“Dr. Covington has become my new hero. He has brought my pain level from a 7 to a 2. He explains and shows(on x-rays) exactly what is wrong; he is extremely kind, patient, he is passionate about helping people. He told me that he'd come up with a plan to help me and he works closely with the physical therapist, who also works at NOVA Health.He IS helping me and I have found a light in the tunnel! I am motivated that I can get better! I haven't felt so hopeful in quite sometime!”

“I’ve felt with so much pain throughout the left side of my body and my neck for 2 years. I could not do very much without the help of my husband and just laying in bed was painful. I started decompression therapy May 2021 and just a month in I was able to go on walks with my 45 pound weight vest and do planks. Please consider visiting this practice it has helped me tremendously and Dr. Covington and his staff are very professional, helpful and just great people!”
