Pain in the neck, back, lower back, and limbs (Musculoskeletal pain syndromes may occur independently of vertebrogenic pathology (primary myofascial dysfunction) or complicate virtually any vertebrogenic reflex or radicular pain (secondary myofascial dysfunction). In cases involving vertebrogenic factors, they are almost invariably associated with «osteochondrosis» and other degenerative-dystrophic pathological processes of the spine.

Our clinical experience, supported by scientific research from leading vertebro-neurological clinics, demonstrates that patients with skeletal-muscular pain and myofascial pain dysfunction (MFPD) often suffer from functional and pathological biomechanical disturbances within the motor system. These biomechanical changes in the spine lead to the development of vertebrogenic pain syndromes in younger patients, manifesting as postural disorders, scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis, pelvic obliquity, short-leg syndrome, shoulder girdle asymmetry, hyperlordosis, and other abnormalities. These conditions reflect underlying pathological biomechanical alterations in the body's structural framework.

When addressing degenerative-dystrophic changes in the spine, myofascial pain dysfunction plays a critical role. Its significance lies not only in the severity of the symptoms but also in the biomechanical disturbances it induces, which, in turn, perpetuate a vicious cycle: pain → muscular spasm → dysfunction.
