THE ROLE OF HOMOEOPATHY IN MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS: A CONCISE REVIEW

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) encompass a wide range of conditions affecting muscles, bones, and joints. Common MSDs include arthritis, back pain, and soft tissue injuries. These disorders significantly impact quality of life and are a leading cause of disability worldwide. Conventional treatments, such as physical therapy, medications, and surgery, are often effective but may come with side effects and limitations. Homeopathy, an alternative medicine system developed in the late 18th century, offers a holistic approach to managing MSDs. This review explores the role of homeopathy in treating musculoskeletal disorders, evaluating its efficacy, safety, and mechanisms of action with comparison to conventional treatment.
