What Is Orthopedics?
Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of disorders affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
The musculoskeletal system plays a vital role in movement, strength, and stability. Orthopedic specialists provide expert care for a wide range of conditions — from minor injuries to complex bone and joint disorders.
Symptoms of Bone & Joint Problems
Board-certified orthopedic physicians are highly trained in identifying early signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Persistent joint pain or stiffness
- Swelling or inflammation in joints
- Back or neck pain
- Difficulty walking or limited range of motion
- Weakness or numbness in arms or legs
- Bone deformities
- Sudden or chronic fractures
- Sports injuries
- Shoulder, knee, or hip pain
Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward restoring mobility and relieving pain. To determine the cause of your symptoms, your orthopedic physician will review your medical history and perform a physical examination. Additional diagnostic tests may include:
- X-rays to evaluate bones and joints
- MRI and CT scans for soft tissue and ligament injuries
- Bone density tests for osteoporosis
- Arthroscopy – a minimally invasive procedure using a small camera to look inside a joint
- Electromyography (EMG) to check nerve and muscle function
