Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between orthopedics and physical therapy?
Orthopedic surgeons diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions medically and surgically. Physical therapists provide rehabilitation and exercise-based treatment. Both disciplines often work together, with PT frequently used before or after surgical intervention.
Will I definitely need surgery for my joint problem?
Most orthopedic conditions are initially managed conservatively with physical therapy, injections, or medication. Surgery is typically considered only after conservative approaches have been tried adequately and symptoms persist or functional limitations remain significant.
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.
