Most Orthopedic Surgeons treat a range of diseases, but many Orthopedic Surgeons concentrate on a particular body part. For example, upper extremity Orthopedic Surgeons treat conditions of the shoulder. Spine Surgeons operate on the bones and ligaments of the back. Hand Surgeons operate on common conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
As the Baby Boomer population ages, there is an increase of people suffering from joint disease. Treatments for joint disease range from office-based injections, to minimally invasive arthroscopy, to full joint replacement surgery with advanced prosthetic technology. Most surgery can be performed in an outpatient setting, but many patients who suffer acute fractures of the hip or leg may require hospitalization or rehabilitation.
Orthopedic Surgeons work closely with other professionals, including Pain Management Doctors, Physical Therapists, and Occupational Therapists to ensure good functional outcomes for their patients. Orthopedic Surgeons are an integral part of our healthcare system. They not only provide emergency services, but treat a wide range of diseases in an elective outpatient setting. When you experience some kind of pain in a joint or muscle, it’s good to know an Orthopedic Doctor is there to take care of you.

What does an orthopedic doctor treat?
An orthopedic doctor treats musculoskeletal conditions including fractures, joint pain (knee, hip, shoulder), arthritis, sports injuries, tendon and ligament tears, scoliosis, and degenerative spine conditions.
+
Do I need surgery to see an orthopedic doctor?
No. An orthopedic doctor first evaluates your condition and explores non-surgical options such as physical therapy, bracing, injections, and medications before recommending surgery. Surgery is only one part of what they offer.
+
What is the difference between an orthopedic doctor and a physiatrist?
An orthopedic doctor is a surgeon who can perform joint replacements and fracture repairs. A physiatrist specializes in non-surgical rehabilitation. Both may manage similar conditions, but their treatment approaches differ.
