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 specialities 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 apt care. 

Diseases / conditions diagnosed by orthopaedics include:

  • A torn / ruptured tendon
  • Dislocation and / or instability
  • Hip arthritis and / or arthritis in elbow
  • Post-accident pain in the muscles, bones, and / or joints
  • Continuously progressing pain
  • Pain during weight intensive activities
  • A diagnosis of osteoarthritis
  • Neck or back pain
  • Radiating arm or leg pain

Diseases / conditions diagnosed by rheumatologists include:

  • Multiple joint pains across the body
  • Joint pains that are agnostic to any existing wounds, injuries, and / or accidents
  • A thorough examination / diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis
  • Joint pain post a tick bite (In this case, the chances of developing Lyme Disease are high)
  • Bone pain, muscle stiffness, joint stiffness, chest pain, rash, fatigue, and fever

Diseases / conditions diagnosed by neurologists include:

  • Chronic pain associated with weakness, numbness, and tingling
  • For athletes, while a neurologist may be able to treat but it is advisable to visit SMDs (Sports Medicine Doctors) instead
  • Problems moving or lack of coordination
  • Back and neck pain and headaches
