• Physical Therapy
  Orthopaedic conditions can cause a wide range of symptoms, including pain, stiffness, weakness, and limited mobility. Left untreated, these conditions can worsen over time, making it difficult to perform daily activities and maintain an active lifestyle. Fortunately, many orthopaedic conditions can be effectively treated with conservative measures, such as physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle modifications. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to restore function and alleviate pain. If you are experiencing symptoms of an orthopaedic condition, it is important to seek medical attention to receive an accurate diagnosis and determine the best course of treatment.
