Personalized Orthopaedic Treatment Options

No two patients experience an orthopaedic condition in exactly the same way. Your treatment plan will depend on your diagnosis, symptoms, activity level, overall health and personal goals.

Our specialists evaluate your condition and discuss appropriate treatment options, which may include non-surgical care, rehabilitation or surgery when indicated.

Non-Surgical Orthopaedic Care

Many orthopaedic conditions can be managed with non-surgical treatments. Depending on your needs, your care plan may include:

• Activity modification and individualized treatment recommendations
• Physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Medication recommendations when appropriate
• Bracing or other supportive devices
• Therapeutic injections when indicated
• Ongoing evaluation and monitoring

The goal is to address your symptoms, improve function and help you return to the activities that matter to you.

When Should You See an Orthopaedic Specialist?

Occasional soreness may improve with rest, but persistent or worsening symptoms can be a sign that it’s time to seek professional evaluation.

Consider scheduling an appointment if you experience:

• Joint or muscle pain that persists or keeps returning
• Swelling, stiffness or tenderness that affects daily activities
• Reduced range of motion or difficulty moving comfortably
• Pain that interferes with sleep, work, exercise or recreational activities
• Repeated sports or activity-related injuries
• Difficulty walking, standing or bearing weight
• Symptoms that have not improved with initial treatment

You do not have to wait until pain becomes severe to seek care. An evaluation can help you better understand what’s causing your symptoms and what treatment options may be appropriate.
