What Are Orthopedic Injuries?
Orthopedic injuries affect the musculoskeletal system, which includes your bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. These injuries can result from trauma, overuse, or degeneration over time and can significantly impact your mobility, strength, and overall quality of life. Common orthopedic injuries we treat include:
- Fractures: Broken bones caused by trauma or accidents.
- Sprains and Strains: Injuries to ligaments (sprains) or muscles and tendons (strains) due to overstretching or tearing.
- Dislocations: When a joint is forced out of its normal position, often seen in shoulders, knees, and hips.
- Tendon Injuries: Conditions such as tendonitis or tendon tears, commonly affecting the Achilles, rotator cuff, or patellar tendon.
- Meniscus Tears: Cartilage damage in the knee caused by sudden twists or impact.
- ACL Injuries: Tears or strains to the anterior cruciate ligament, commonly seen in athletes.
Common Orthopedic Conditions We Treat
In addition to acute injuries, we also specialize in managing chronic orthopedic conditions such as:
- Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease that causes pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.
- Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion joints, leading to pain and discomfort.
- Tendinitis: Inflammation of tendons, commonly affecting the shoulder, elbow, knee, or hip.
- Chronic Back or Neck Pain: Resulting from poor posture, disc degeneration, or other musculoskeletal issues.
