When Should I See an Orthopedic Doctor?
For acute injuries, such as fractures and dislocations, your orthopedic doctor will have to manipulate or reset your affected joint and immobilize it using a splint, cast or brace.
There are various treatment options your orthopedic physician may recommend if you have chronic musculoskeletal disorders, such as back pain or arthritis, including:
- Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Home exercise programs
- Injections
- Acupuncture
- Mobility aids
- Surgery, as a last resort
You may choose to see a primary care doctor if you have yet to find out the cause of your musculoskeletal symptoms. In many instances, though, it is reasonable to see an orthopedic provider for the following symptoms and conditions:
- Constant or occasional pain for more than three months
- Limited range of motion
- Symptoms that affect daily mobility
- Difficulty standing or moving around
- An acute injury that does not respond to first aid treatments, such as ice or over-the-counter medications
If you need a second opinion about either a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation, you can also consult with an orthopedic surgeon.
