Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the care of the musculoskeletal system. This system is made up of muscles and bones, as well as joints, ligaments, and tendons.
A person who specializes in orthopedics is known as an Orthopaedist. Orthopedists use both surgical and nonsurgical approaches to treat a variety of musculoskeletal issues, such as sports injuries, joint pain, and back problems. These conditions may be present from birth, or they may occur as a result of injury or age-related wear and tear.
At God’s Hope Hospital, our orthopedic team diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate people with musculoskeletal conditions or injuries.
