Signs You Should See an Orthopedic Specialist

Orthopedic specialists diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, from fractures to joint disorders. If you experience any of the following signs or symptoms, it may be time to consult an orthopedic specialist:

1. Persistent Pain or Discomfort

• Chronic Joint Pain: Persistent pain in joints, such as knees, hips, shoulders, or elbows, that limits daily activities or worsens over time.
• Back Pain: Continuous or recurrent back pain, especially after injury or with associated symptoms like numbness or tingling.

2. Difficulty with Movement or Function

• Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty moving a joint through its full range of motion, which may indicate underlying joint problems or stiffness.
• Instability: Feeling of joint instability or frequent joint “giving way,” particularly in weight-bearing joints like knees or ankles.

3. Swelling or Inflammation

• Joint Swelling: Swelling around a joint that persists or worsens, accompanied by warmth, tenderness, or redness.
• Inflammation: Signs of inflammation, such as swelling, stiffness, and warmth, without apparent injury or infection.

4. Injury or Trauma

• Sports Injury: Recent sports-related injury, such as ligament tears (ACL, MCL), fractures, or dislocations requiring medical evaluation and treatment.
• Accidental Falls: Falls resulting in injuries, especially in elderly individuals, necessitating assessment for fractures or musculoskeletal injuries.

5. Difficulty Performing Daily Activities

• Impact on Daily Life: Difficulty performing routine activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, or lifting objects, due to pain or decreased mobility.
• Functional Impairment: Decreased function or performance in sports, work, or recreational activities due to musculoskeletal issues.

6. Developmental Concerns
