Have you experienced aches and pain lasting for more than a week? Is your knee or back pain aggravating you on a daily basis? What about feeling sore or stiff after waking up from a deep sleep? If you’re experiencing these aches and pains, it’s not something you have to “live with.” Don’t wait any longer to seek medical help. An orthopedic surgeon is your partner and ally in helping you return to a more active, pain-free life. Put simply, an orthopedic surgeon can help you get your life back. Even if you’re leery of surgery, seeing an orthopedic surgeon does not mean you will necessarily need a surgical approach to treat your pain.
What Do Orthopedic Surgeons Do?
Orthopedic surgeons can help reduce your pain. In fact, pain is the most common reason patients seek the help of an orthopedic surgeon. Orthopedic surgeons are medical experts in the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and connective tissues. Common conditions they treat include carpal tunnel syndrome, sports injuries, broken bones, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis.
