The organ system that allows animals to move physically through space is the musculoskeletal system. In humans, this consists of a skeleton (where bones are connected to other bones at specialized joints) and skeletal muscles (which are attached to the bones by tendons and contract to cause the bones to move). The human skeleton also lends structural support, protects some internal organs, and produces blood cells within its marrow. Pain can result when bones become damaged or when muscles function improperly.
This section focuses on problems of the musculoskeletal system that may result in chronic pelvic pain, including
fibromyalgia, myofascial trigger points and other disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
