Living free from pain may seem impossible if you have problems with mobility
or have suffered an injury. Good Samaritan provides orthopedic services
as well as personalized care to patients of all ages so you can improve
your pain level and quality of life. An orthopedist is a physician who
can help prevent, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate patients suffering
from injuries and conditions that affect their musculoskeletal system,
which primarily includes the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissues.
What Can an Orthopedist Help Me With?
Whether you want pain relief associated with aging joints or you have recently
suffered an injury, you can rely on our talented orthopedists to treat
a broad range of orthopedic procedures and conditions. Our orthopedists
use evidence-based methods and techniques to treat orthopedic problems
and prescribe rehabilitative services like physical therapy to manage
them. Our patients see us for a variety of problems, from emergency injury
treatment or ongoing treatment for chronic conditions like osteoarthritis.
Our medical experts are here to help teach you how to protect yourself
and avoid future problems that could aggravate your condition.
Symptoms of a potential orthopedic problem may include:
Unusual appearance of a joint
Joint pain and inflammation
Stiffness and limited mobility
Muscle spasms
Episodes of numbness or tingling
Intermittent or constant pain
Warmth or redness of an area, which could indicate an infection
Should I See an Orthopedic Specialist?
Many are under the mistaken impression that they just have to live with
pain affecting their bones and joints, or that it’s just part of
aging that cannot be treated. The good news is that almost any condition
affecting your joints, bones, muscles and connective tissues can be treated
and even cured. You should seek orthopedic treatment if you have physical
challenges that could indicate a musculoskeletal injury. Our orthopedists
at Good Samaritan focus on pain relief through conservative treatments
like physical therapy and injections. These nonsurgical therapies are
used whenever possible before more aggressive therapies, such as surgery,
are considered for more serious conditions that don’t respond to
other types of treatment. We are here to help.
