Most people arrive with a problem, and few with a treatment in mind. These pages explain common musculoskeletal presentations in plain language, including likely symptoms, when imaging may or may not help, and where non-surgical treatment options may fit. The emphasis is on careful diagnosis, load management, rehabilitation and a frank discussion of procedures where they are clinically appropriate.

Concussion and head injury are covered in their own section rather than as a condition guide, because the pathway is different: immediate removal from play, a stand-down period, medical clearance before a return to contact, and a graded return to learn and sport. See the concussion section. Injuries grouped by the activity that produced them are on the sports and exercise medicine page.
