Types of treatments under orthopedics

Depending on the condition, an orthopedist can recommend two treatment procedures: non-surgical and surgical.

The types of treatments that fall under non-surgical treatments are also called “conservative treatments.” The orthopedists will consider this as the first treatment option before recommending a surgery- if necessary. Some of the common non-surgical treatments done under orthopedics include exercises or stretches to improve strength, immobilization, medications to relieve symptoms, and lifestyle changes.
Sometimes the musculoskeletal issues or injuries may not improve just with non-surgical treatments. In such circumstances, the orthopedist may recommend going through an appropriate surgery. Some of the common surgeries performed by an orthopedic surgeon include: joint replacement, internal fixation, fusion, osteotomy, and soft tissue repair and release surgery.

When to see an
Orthopedist?

If you find you have any pain or swelling in your bone that is recurring or doesn’t respond to home care and causes trouble performing your daily activities, you have to consult an orthopedist.

Even if you observe any nerve-related uneasiness like numbness and tingling in your arms or legs, or if you observe a reduction in a joint’s mobility or range of motion, such as your knee, elbow, or shoulder, you will need to check with an orthopedist.

Besides, as sports injuries can also build up musculoskeletal issues, any severe bones, muscles, or joints injuries may require the attention of an orthopedist as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

The symptoms related to your musculoskeletal disorder or condition often vary depending on your issue. However, the common symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders include weakness, pain, joint noises, stiffness, and a reduction in the range of motions. In some cases, you may also experience inflammation, leading to symptoms like swelling, pain, tenderness, impaired function, warmth, and redness of your overlying skin.
Bones are the support system of a musculoskeletal system, so the key to avoiding orthopedic issues is to keep them healthy and strong. Make sure you include enough calcium and sources of Vitamin D in your diet to keep your bones healthy. You should also consider keeping your alcohol and caffeine intake and smoking practices low to support healthy bones. Besides, engaging in regular exercises to maintain bone health can also reduce the risk of developing orthopedic issues in the future.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to deciding when to have orthopedic surgery. Generally, an orthopedist will firstly consider non-surgical treatment options and monitor progress before deciding when surgery is the most appropriate next step. Your orthopedist will also consider things like whether you’re in pain, experiencing any instability or decreased mobility, if your quality of life is affected by the pain, etc., when recommending orthopedic surgery.

Many factors affect how long it will take for you to recover from orthopedic surgery. Some of them include the orthopedic condition for which you were treated and the type of surgery performed. It takes only a few weeks to recover in general cases, while for severe cases, it can take months.

In situations where you’ll be discharged to your house on the same day or the day after, in-home nursing care or outpatient physical therapy will be recommended. Some patients will be required to spend a few days at a skilled nursing- facility before they can go home. You can talk to your orthopedist for more information regarding how your recovery plan will be like.

Both sports medicine doctors and orthopedic surgeons are specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. However, a sports medicine doctor is specialized only in the non-operative and non-surgical treatments of sports-related conditions and injuries. An orthopedic surgeon is specialized to do all that a sports medicine doctor does and is also qualified and verified to conduct surgical and operative treatments for musculoskeletal disorders.
