When Is Orthopedic Surgery the Right Option for Joint Pain?

[Drabhinavkush]

Joint pain can be debilitating and impact your quality of life and ability to do even simple tasks. Although medications, physical therapy, and other lifestyle changes can help lessen or manage joint pain, some patients will ultimately require a more advanced treatment option. Orthopedic Surgery is the right choice for patients experiencing joint pain when non-surgical treatment options have not been successful in improving pain or restoring normal function. Patients with conditions including severe arthritis, progressive joint degeneration, or significant trauma may find surgical correction is necessary to regain normal function. Patients may wish to consult with an orthopedic specialist to determine if orthopedic surgery is appropriate. Prompt treatment can limit your risk of long-term complications and improve function and comfort enabling you to return to daily life with confidence.
