You should consult an Orthopedic Surgeon if you experience persistent joint pain, swelling, stiffness, difficulty walking, or any injury affecting your mobility or daily activities.
While Orthopedic Surgeons treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, Joint Replacement Specialists focus specifically on surgical procedures to replace damaged joints like the hip, knee, or shoulder.
Maintaining a healthy weight, staying active, using proper techniques during physical activities, wearing appropriate footwear, and avoiding repetitive strain can help prevent orthopedic problems.
Your first visit may involve a discussion of your medical history, a physical examination, and diagnostic tests like X-rays or MRIs. Based on the findings, a personalized treatment plan will be recommended.
