orthopedic assessments

Orthopedic assessments are evaluations performed by doctors specializing in the musculoskeletal system—bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissues. The goal is to diagnose issues such as injuries, arthritis, or deformities. The process typically involves reviewing your medical history, asking about your symptoms, conducting physical examinations to check strength, movement, and pain, and sometimes using imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs. These assessments help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide appropriate treatment plans, whether that involves medication, therapy, or surgery. They are essential for understanding and improving your musculoskeletal health effectively.
