Are you suffering from knee injuries, back pain, shoulder pain, or any other joint pains? Do you want to improve your quality of life by getting rid of these pains? Then don’t worry because now you can get rid of all these problems with the orthopaedic consultants at the eConsultant Clinic.
Who is an orthopedic surgeon?
Orthopedic surgeons treat injuries, diseases, and deformities of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. They also diagnose problems with internal organs when they affect the musculoskeletal system.
Board-certified orthopedic surgeons specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders of movement, muscle, and bone. They can treat injuries or diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system and its functions such as the spine, shoulder, hip, and knee.
Orthopedic surgeons treat sports injuries, work injuries, accidents, and fractures caused by trauma or disease. They also treat patients with arthritis and other degenerative diseases that affect their joints.
When to see an orthopedic surgeon?
If you have a problem with your shoulder or hip, you should consult your GP or Physiotherapist. But if they can’t help, or if the problem persists, you can see an Orthopedic Surgeon.
The following are some common reasons why you may need to see an orthopedic surgeon:
You have pain, swelling, or stiffness in your joint, bone, or muscle. This could be a sign of a bone fracture or arthritis. You may also have pain when making certain movements or when you put weight on your injured leg.
You have problems using your arms and hands because of nerve damage from an injury, chemical exposure, or disease.
You have shoulder pain that does not get better with rest or home treatment. Your doctor may refer you for a shoulder MRI scan to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other causes of shoulder pain such as rotator cuff tears or impingement syndrome.
You need surgery to correct a problem with your hip, knee, or spine (spinal column).
Some conditions will not show any symptoms until they become more advanced. For example, a slipped disc will only cause back pain if it ruptured prior to diagnosis. In this case, you would not have any other symptoms until the disc ruptured and caused a problem with your back.
What can an orthopedic surgeon do?
Orthopedic surgeons often work with other specialists such as physiotherapists who treat problems like back pain. They also work closely with medical doctors, nurses, and radiographers who provide treatments such as injections, x-rays, and imaging scans like MRI scans.
