The study of diseases affecting ligaments and connective tissues.
From Greek 'desmos' (ligament) + 'nosos' (disease) + 'logia' (study). This represents a specialized pathological field focusing on connective tissue disorders.
Many chronic pain conditions come from connective tissue problems that traditional medicine overlooked for years—having a dedicated field of study helps us finally understand conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic tendinitis.
