What does orthopedics mean?
Orthopedics is the name for the medical specialty and orthopedists are the doctors. Orthopedics focuses on care for your entire musculoskeletal system, including your bones, joints, muscles and nerves. These parts work together to support your body and keep you moving.
Why would you see an orthopedic doctor?
If you’re dealing with muscle pain, a sports injury or a chronic condition like arthritis, our orthopedic specialists are here to help. They diagnose, treat and work to help you prevent issues or injuries affecting your musculoskeletal system. Whether your orthopedist recommends nonsurgical care or orthopedic surgery, our multispecialty team – including doctors, surgeons, physician assistants, physical therapists, nurses and chiropractors – work together to relieve your pain and restore your movement.
