For musculoskeletal pain, you would typically see an orthopedic doctor.
Orthopedic doctors specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries and diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves.
Here are some examples of conditions that an orthopedic doctor can treat:
- Fractures
- Dislocations
- Sprains and strains
- Arthritis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis elbow
- Osteoporosis
In some cases, you may also need to see a physical therapist to help you regain strength, flexibility, and mobility after an injury or surgery.
Important Note: If you are experiencing musculoskeletal pain, it is important to see a doctor to get a diagnosis and treatment plan. Self-treating can be dangerous and may delay proper healing.
