Orthopedic pain has many different causes and an accurate diagnosis is crucial to getting the appropriate treatment. Common causes of pain may include osteoarthritis or injury to ligaments, tendons or bones. If joint pain is limiting your mobility and activity, a good diagnosis is your first step in resolving the pain.
The orthopedic providers at Person Memorial Hospital are specialists in diagnosing and treating joint pain. As part of your evaluation and diagnosis, we will review your history along with performing a physical exam, including testing your range of motion and strength of muscles.
As a result of the exam, the doctor may ask you to follow up with a test, which may include:
These tests will help the doctor make a diagnosis. (If you already have X-rays, please bring them with you).
We offer many effective treatment options and always begin treatment with the least invasive methods first. In more severe cases of joint pain, surgery may be recommended. Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems. Person Memorial's orthopedic surgeons use highly specialized instruments, inserted through incisions about one-half inch in size, to reconstruct joints.
Other patients may require full joint replacement surgery. In each case, our orthopedic surgeons perform surgical procedures to lessen pain, reduce recovery time and allow you to regain the full use of the joint as soon as possible. A rehabilitation program will help you get back to functioning to your fullest potential following surgery.
