Literally over a Billion potential customers for PSWT Products with a Musculoskeletal Pain Indication

* Musculoskeletal conditions are the leading contributor to disability worldwide, with low back pain being the single leading cause of disability globally.
* Musculoskeletal conditions and injuries are not just conditions of older age; they are prevalent across the life-course. Between one in three and one in five people (including children) live with a Musculoskeletal pain condition.
* Musculoskeletal conditions significantly limit mobility and dexterity, leading to early retirement from work, reduced accumulated wealth and reduced ability to participate in social roles.
* The greatest proportion of non-cancer persistent pain conditions is accounted for by Musculoskeletal conditions.
* Highly prevalent among multi-morbidity health states, Musculoskeletal conditions are prevalent in one third to one-half of multi-morbidity presentations, particularly in older people.
* Musculoskeletal conditions are commonly linked with depression and increase the risk of developing other chronic health conditions.
Musculoskeletal conditions comprise more than 150 diagnoses that affect the locomotor system; that is, muscles, bones, joints and associated tissues such as tendons and ligaments, as listed in the International Classification of Diseases. They range from those that arise suddenly and are short-lived, such as fractures, sprains and strains, to lifelong conditions associated with ongoing pain and disability.
Musculoskeletal conditions are typically characterized by pain (often persistent) and limitations in mobility, dexterity and functional ability, reducing people’s ability to work and participate in social roles with associated impacts on mental wellbeing, and at a broader level impacts on the prosperity of communities. The most common and disabling musculoskeletal conditions are osteoarthritis, back and neck pain, fractures associated with bone fragility, injuries and systemic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Musculoskeletal conditions are prevalent across the life-course and most commonly affect people from adolescence through to older age. The prevalence and impact of musculoskeletal conditions is predicted to rise as the global population ages and the prevalence of risk factors for noncommunicable diseases increases, particularly in low- and middle-income settings.
