General information on medical treatment
Orthopedics is a branch of medicine specializing in the skeletal system and muscles in the body. Among other things, an orthopedist diagnoses and treats problems with bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. For example, orthopedists are the go-to professionals in cases of back pain, knee pain, fractured bones, muscle injuries, torn ligaments, bone growths, chronic joint diseases, osteoporosis, and more. An orthopedic specialist typically also engages in some form of subspecialty, such as joint replacement surgeries, knee surgeries, hand surgeries, foot and ankle surgeries, spine surgeries, and more. Particularly if someone is injured as a result of a fall, a traffic accident, or a sports injury, and experiences bone or muscle pain as a result of the impact, it is recommended to consult an orthopedist for diagnosis and treatment before the problem worsens and leads to further impairment of daily functioning.
