Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during a first orthopedic consultation?
The provider will review your history, perform a physical examination focused on the affected joint or area, and may order imaging such as X-ray or MRI. A treatment plan will be discussed, starting with the least invasive options appropriate for your condition.
How do I know if my joint pain needs orthopedic evaluation?
