Common conditions treated include arthritis, back pain, sports injuries, and leg/foot pain. Orthopedic care encompasses the skeletal system's comprehensive health.
What is the difference between an Orthopaedist and an Orthopaedic Surgeon?
While often used interchangeably, orthopaedists and orthopaedic surgeons have distinct roles. Orthopaedists manage musculoskeletal system conditions, offering pre- and post-surgical care.
