Disorders of the Bones and Joints and Social Security Disability

Some people suffer from musculoskeletal disorders that may qualify them to receive Social Security disability benefits. An experienced Social Security disability attorney can talk to you about your medical condition and help you to determine your eligibility.

The musculoskeletal system includes all of your bones and joints, including the bones of your head, torso, arms and legs. There are two types of bone, compact and cancellous. Compact bone is the outside part of the bone, which is solid and hard. Cancellous bone is the inside part of the bone, which is soft like a sponge. Joints are what allow bones to move. Bones at a joint are held together by ligaments, which are strong bands of tissue.

There are certain debilitating medical conditions that can affect the bones and joints. Some of these musculoskeletal disorders include:

• Arthritis
• Fractures
• Osteoporosis
• Muscular Dystrophy
• Scoliosis  

Some disorders of the musculoskeletal system can cause a person to become disabled and unable to work. If that is the case, you may be eligible to receive disability benefits.
