Orthopedics
Our Advanced Surgical & Non-Surgical Treatments
Orthopedics
The musculoskeletal system comprises muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Orthopedics is the study of this system. Injuries or long-term pain that affect these areas can make it very hard to move around and lower your quality of life. Our team prefers non-surgical methods whenever possible, but if those don’t work, our highly skilled orthopedic doctors offer the latest surgery solutions that are precisely adjusted to your needs.

Signs of an Orthopedic Condition
So many body parts, from the neck to the feet, can be affected by orthopedic problems. Symptoms can differ based on where the pain is and whether it is short-term or long-term. Signs of an orthopedic condition may include:
- Numbness or tingling
- Joint weakness or stiffness
- Limited range of motion
- Swelling or warmth in the affected area
Acute vs. Chronic Pain
- Acute Pain: This type of pain comes on quickly and is very bad. It usually happens after an injury, like a fracture or dislocation. It might include swelling, visible defects, or limited movement, and it typically gets better as the injury heals.
- Chronic Pain: This kind of pain occurs slowly and is often caused by overuse or degenerative conditions like arthritis. It can worsen over time, so it must be managed and cared for constantly.

Non-Surgical Treatments
Early help is very important for a full recovery. Some methods that don’t involve surgery are:
- Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE)
- Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications
- Pain management techniques like corticosteroid injections or nerve blocks
