Who is an Orthopedic Specialist?

Orthopedics is a medical field that focuses on conditions and diseases that affect the musculoskeletal system. This includes your ligaments, bones, joints, tendons, muscles, and nerves.

People visit an orthopedic doctor when they suffer from an injury or have a chronic condition, such as lower back pain or arthritis.

An orthopedic specialist is also referred to as an orthopedic surgeon, who focuses on helping you in getting relief from musculoskeletal issues. Their duties generally include:

  • Diagnosing as well as treating conditions that may affect your musculoskeletal system.
  • Assisting or rehabilitation, aimed at regaining movement, strength, flexibility, and range of motion following an injury or surgery.
  • Forming strategies or treatment plans to prevent injury and to provide alternative treatment options to prevent worsening of chronic conditions like arthritis.
  • While an orthopedic specialist has complete knowledge about all parts of the musculoskeletal system, some of them specialize further. Some of the subspecialty areas of orthopedics include hip, spine, knee, foot, ankle, shoulder, elbow, hand, trauma surgery, and sports medicine.

Different orthopedic specialists specialize even further in specific parts of the body, such as the hip, ankle, foot, or shoulder. A few of them also specialize in treating children. Pediatric orthopedists monitor bone growth issues in children, such as like scoliosis or developmental problems that a child is born with, such as clubfoot or hip dysplasia.
