Orthopedic doctors can treat a wide range of conditions, including fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, sprains, strains, dislocations, back pain, and more.

You should see an orthopedic doctor if you are experiencing pain, swelling, or stiffness in your joints or muscles that is affecting your ability to perform daily activities.

During your first visit to an orthopedic clinic, you will likely undergo a physical examination and diagnostic tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, to help diagnose your condition. Your doctor will then discuss treatment options with you.

Common orthopedic surgeries include joint replacement, arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, and spine surgery.

Recovery time for orthopedic surgery depends on the type of surgery and the individual patient. Your doctor will provide you with specific instructions for your recovery and rehabilitation.
