Common Questions About Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
When should I see an orthopedics provider?
You may have chronic pain in your bones or ligaments, or you could have a sudden injury from sports or regular daily activities. Frequently the injury is obvious, as in the case of a broken bone, or ongoing pain in a joint. Sometimes it’s related to activity or position. An orthopedist can help diagnose your injury, and determine your best course of treatment based on your personal goals.
Do I need a referral to see an orthopedics provider?
Not necessarily. We can usually schedule a consultation with you without a referral from your primary care provider. Give us a call and we will be happy to decide if we can help.
Do I have to be an athlete to see a sports medicine provider?
No. Sports medicine providers commonly treat athletes and athletic injuries, but injuries are commonly associated with non-sports activities as well, like repetitive movements, yard work, playing a musical instrument, and any other injury or condition that affects your physical activity.
Am I a good candidate for joint replacement?
For many, joint replacement surgery can be a necessary and life-improving procedure, but it isn’t right for everyone. Often, joint pain and injuries can be treated through a change in activity, physical therapy, medications, and other non-surgical options. A sports medicine physician or orthopedics provider can help you determine whether joint replacement is ideal for you. This will normally involve a diagnostic visit and advanced imaging like an Xray or CT scan.
What is my recovery time after orthopedic surgery?
The simple answer is that it depends. The severity of your condition, the extent of the surgery, as well as your personal physical health can all play a role in how long you can expect your recovery to be. Your surgeon can help you understand how best to prepare for surgery, and what to expect afterwards.
