The Structures that form the human frame are collectively known as the neuromusculoskeletal system.
This is the largest system in the body, using the most energy and producing the most waste.The bones that make up the human frame meet at the joints, which are linked together by ligaments and are moved by muscles. The joints are lubricated by the synovial fluid and the membranes that line them. Cartilage cushions them from impact. The muscles are attached to the bones by tendons, and the fabric of the body is held together by "connective tissues" or "fascias," forming a continuous sheath covering the muscles and organs throughout the entire body.Arteries run throughout the body, and through the blood they supply nourishment to the neuromusculoskeletal system. The waste products are washed away by the venous and lymphatic channels (the lymphatic system runs parallel to the circulatory system). All activities and functions are governed by the nerves connecting the joints to the spinal cord and brain.What can go wrong?The internal systems of the body are there to serve the needs of the body framework: that is, to nourish, repair, maintain, and organize it. When all the systems are working together in harmony, automatically adapting to the constantly changing needs, the body is healthy. When these break down ill-health or "disease" sets in.The body framework is the system in the body responsible for most aches and pains, as well as stiffness and restricted mobility. There may be injuries to bones, strains and cramps in muscle, stiffness and general wear and tear on joints. It can be affected greatly by internal ill-health, and when the framework itself becomes dysfunctional, it can alter the health of the internal organs and the whole body system.Pain in the body framework may be due to many causes. Organic pathologies such as secondary cancer, prostate cancer, infections, gynecological, and kidney problems, among others, must first be eliminated before treatment is undergone.It must be stressed that although the treatments described will deal with the presenting complaint, alternative medicine does not work on a symptomatic "formula" basis. There are invariably underlying factors to the presenting symptoms that must be addressed to enable full recovery. Professional advice must be sought for a correct diagnosis and overall constitutional treatment, which will always be individually tailored.
