What is Orthopedics?
Orthopedics is the study of the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic
doctors specialize in diagnosis and treatment of problems of the
musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system includes: bones,
joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. There are a number of
different professions that offer treatment options for this type of
problem.
Orthopedic Evaluations
What are standard evaluation procedures?
Before a treatment or rehabilitation protocol can be established, we must first perform a orthopedic evaluation
to determine the reason for and source of your condition. This
typically involves a comprehensive physical examination and a detailed
medical history profile, in addition to a complete history and
description of the symptoms related to your condition. During this
initial gathering of information, be sure to notify us of any other
illnesses, injuries, or complaints that have been associated with the
pain or condition, as well as any previous treatments or medications
prescribed.
