What is orthopedics ?

Orthopedics is a medical specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Orthopedists use both surgical and non-surgical methods to treat conditions such as sports injuries, joint pain, and back problems.

Orthopedic surgeons diagnose injuries or conditions, provide treatments such as medications, injections, physical therapy, or surgery, and recommend rehabilitation exercises to restore strength and movement. They also offer preventive care to help avoid further injuries or the worsening of existing conditions.
