An orthopedic doctor treats issues that are specific to the musculoskeletal system.

If you have aches and pains related to the tendons, ligaments, bones, or muscles in your body, you should see an orthopedic physician for treatment. Here are some of the most common reasons why people see orthopedic doctors.

Unexplained Pain

Feeling pain here and there is pretty common. In fact, all of us get minor injuries that cause temporary pain. However, there are situations, particularly as we get older, when pain becomes a frequent issue. If you have pain that comes on repeatedly, you likely have chronic pain. It could be due to an underlying condition or injury. The only way to get rid of chronic pain permanently is to address its underlying cause. Orthopedic physicians can get you an accurate diagnosis for the cause of your pain and recommend a treatment plan to address it.

Sports-Related Injuries

Orthopedic doctors frequently see athletes of all ages and backgrounds. Playing sports and being physically active are fun social activities and great for your health. However, that doesn’t mean you won’t get injured. Some of the most common orthopedic injuries are caused by sports. Fortunately, most injuries are treatable. If you get an injury while playing a sport or after going to the gym, visit an orthopedic doctor for treatment. Likewise, if you experience pain, soreness, or limited mobility during or after playing a sport or exercising, you may have an injury that needs to be addressed. Remember, not all sports injuries – or orthopedic injuries for that matter – will cause you debilitating pain that would alert you to see a doctor. Therefore, pay attention to what your body tells you, and see a doctor whenever the slightest symptoms appear.

Conditions Affecting Musculoskeletal Health

There are many health conditions and diseases that have a negative effect on the musculoskeletal system. Examples include over 100 forms of arthritis and osteoporosis. If you have a health condition that negatively affects bone, muscle, ligament, tendon, or connective tissue health, you should see an orthopedic physician on a regular basis. There are typically a lot of things you can do to protect your health and slow the progression of many diseases. As such, the support of an experienced orthopedic physician is critical to keeping you healthy for as long as possible. Even when your condition cannot be treated or cured, orthopedic physicians can help alleviate your symptoms as much as possible through state-of-the-art treatments. Finally, if you ever need a joint replacement surgery, common among those who have arthritis, orthopedic surgeons are the experts who perform such procedures.
