Abstract
Painful musculoskeletal diseases such as inflammatory and degenerative conditions, represents the most common reasons why patients seek medical attention. Given that most of commonly used drugs affecting inflammation and pain (e.g.
NSAIDs) bring the burden of side effects, hence a more gentle, safer therapeutic options of counteracting these painful pathological processes is needed. Since one of the leading causes of musculoskeletal pain is weakness of internal and external joint stabilization systems, one of rational options represents local administration of collagen-containing injections.
