orthopedics

You must have heard about arthritis from your parents or grandparents, or maybe whenever someone has pain in their knees or any bone injury. The first recommendation is to always go and visit an orthopaedic. Yes, Orthopaedics, as quite understandable now, is the branch of healthcare that deals with various conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. A paediatric orthopaedic deals with the same issues, but in children. Orthopaedics employ a range of surgical and nonsurgical procedures to diagnose / cure spine diseases, musculoskeletal trauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, tumours, infections, and congenital diseases. An orthopaedic shares a lot of conditions/diseases/diagnostics with a rheumatologist and a neurologist.

About Orthopedics

Whether one’s suffering from joint problems, or pain in the bones and muscles, the right branch of healthcare to go to is the orthopaedics division.

Here are some of the most common symptoms which might prompt you to visit an orthopaedic:

  • Pain, discomfort, or stiffness that are restricting the performance of everyday activities
  • Chronic pain lasting longer than 12 weeks
  • Reduced range of motion
  • Instability while walking / standing
  • Soft tissue injury that’s still unhealed after 48 hours

There exists a range of medical specialties that treat musculoskeletal conditions, like chronic pain, arthritis, and injury. Doctors and orthopaedic surgeons specializing in orthopaedics, neurologists, rheumatologists, physical therapists, and rehabilitation medicine doctors all deal with some part of musculoskeletal cure that relates to the muscles, joints and bones. At Aster Healthcare, our journey starts from the moment you walk in, and we help guide you to the right department for the apt care.

  • A torn / ruptured tendon
