Musculoskeletal Problems
The musculoskeletal system refers collectively to the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and nerves. It is what gives the body structure and movement. Because this system encompasses so much of the body, musculoskeletal problems are extremely varied and can happen almost anywhere. There are musculoskeletal problems that affect only the joints, those that affect the bones, those that affect tendons and ligaments, and those that can happen in any area of the body but cause pain and numbness.
Joint problems include bursitis and arthritis. Bursitis is the inflammation of a fluid-filled sac cushion on the outside of a joint, causing symptoms including pain and swelling. Arthritis is the inflammation and damage of a joint due to wear and tear or disease. There are several treatments for arthritis, but if the damage progresses far enough, joint replacement may be necessary. In joint replacement, a metal or plastic implant is surgically placed within the joint to make movement easier.
Bone problems include scoliosis, fractures, and osteoporosis. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine, making the normally straight spine look like a 'C' or 'S.' It is treated with braces or surgery. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to weaken and break easily. It's most common in women, especially older women. Fully half of all women over 65 have osteoporosis. Fractures are any break in the bone. They can be a simple crack or a severe and complicated shatter. Osteoporosis causes fractures in people who have it, but other causes are trauma (such as a fall) or overuse.
Tendon and ligament problems most often result from injury or overuse. Two good examples are ligament tears and tendonitis. The most common ligament tear is the ACL tear in the knee. This ligament supports and stabilizes the knee and is most often torn during sports activities. Tendonitis happens when a tendon, which connects muscles and bones together, becomes irritated and inflamed. This happens most often in older patients who push their bodies too far, leading to pain and swelling. Treatment for both tendon and ligament problems usually includes rest, ice, and supporting the area to let it heal.
Pain and numbness problems can be caused by overuse, disease, an injury, or a compressed nerve. Lower back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome are two of the most common conditions patients encounter. Lower back pain may be caused by sore muscles that have been overworked, or an injury to the disks separating the vertebrae in the spine. Lower back pain usually goes away on its own within a few days, but it may require medical treatment depending on the cause. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the nerve at the base of the palm becomes trapped or pinched. Symptoms include tingling, pain, numbness, or weakness in the hand. Treatment involves rest and sometimes steroid injections.
Because the musculoskeletal system involves so much of the body, problems here can be incredibly varied in their type and severity. Some musculoskeletal problems will go away on their own or only require rest, while others may require medication, physical therapy, or even surgery.

My wife made an appointment through Charlotte at Dr. Martin’s office since the practice was in our insurance network. Charlotte was super nice according to my wife and the reviews were mostly positive and the office was relatively close to our home. So we arrived on 9/19/18, with paperwork in hand along with very recent MRI’s and xrays of my left knee. The injury was decades old, and I wasn’t getting any younger, so it was about time. After I was “registered" into the practice and signed more paperwork, Julie brought us back into an exam room. She asked how the injury happened and why now? I told her. She said she wasn’t able to view the images that I brought and that Dr. Martin might want to redo. My wife very politely suggested that maybe it would be better to reschedule the appointment and bring back a disk with the current images, so they could see what we already did have. She told us Dr. Martin would be in and she left. A short time later, Dr. Martin rushed into the room and hurriedly introduced her self. Instead of hi, how are you, I understand you would like to get another copy of your current radiological images, she began with, either you agree to more Xrays or you can leave. She kept going on about how no one was going to tell her how to run her practice. Stunned and incredulous, as to her arrogant demeanor and harsh words, all I could say very calmly was….do you know, you have a bit of an attitude? She said that no one would tell her what to do and that we could leave. And so we did. We never asked, acted or deserved to be treated like that. Instead of her behaving like you would expect a professional, a Physician or even just a civilized adult to act, she snapped without justification. So if you like being bullied and verbally attacked for merely making a suggestion, then Stephanie Martin, M.D. is just what the doctor ordered.
