Doctors are exposed to a range of work related risk
factors that may result in various occupational diseases,
of which musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common.
Musculoskeletal disorders are defined as musculoskeletal
complaints, musculoskeletal symptoms or musculoskeletal
pain that reflect a number of conditions, such as neck pain, back
pain, shoulder pain, pain of limbs, carpal tunnel syndrome,
myofacial dysfunction syndrome, atypical facial pain etc.[1]
One end of the spectrum, MSD can be mild and infrequent; at
the other end, MSDs can be severe, chronic and debilitating.
