Abstract
Statistics
Soft tissue diseases of the locomotor apparatus are often a little known area of medicine and therefore poorly or insufficiently treated. Because of the lack of awareness of these diseases and their complications, they are often not diagnosed and are consequently left untreated. Affected patients will often visit a series of physicians, including psychiatrists, without receiving a clear diagnosis. Physicians should become better informed about these diseases and the possibilities of referral to specialists able to diagnose and treat these processes.
