Musculoskeletal injuries are very common. These range from ordinary bruising to severe fractures or dislocations. First aid for such injuries is aimed at relieving pain and preventing further damage.
Although fractures, muscle and joint injuries are almost always accompanied by pain, they rarely pose a threat to the victim's life. However, without first aid, they can have serious consequences and lead to lifelong disability. Having some understanding of the body type will help you learn how to treat these injuries.
