Orthopedic Doctor
An orthopedic doctor, also known as an orthopedic surgeon, is a medical professional who specializes in diagnosing, treating, rehabilitating, and preventing injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Orthopedic doctors handle a variety of medical situations, from sports injuries and joint replacements to deformities and infections.
They are trained to manage a wide array of conditions that may affect the musculoskeletal system, and they work on both surgical and non-surgical treatments. Depending on the nature and severity of the condition, an orthopedic doctor may recommend treatments such as exercises, immobilization, medications, or lifestyle changes to manage symptoms or improve quality of life.
For more complex cases, orthopedic surgeons are also skilled in performing surgeries to repair the damage, alleviate pain, and restore function. Their expertise covers a broad spectrum of procedures from minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries to complex spinal and joint replacement surgeries.
