Frequently Asked Questions: Orthopedics

When should I see an Orthopedist for back pain?
Consult an Orthopedist if back pain persists beyond 2 weeks, radiates down your leg (sciatica), causes numbness or weakness, follows a fall or injury, or interferes with daily activities. Sudden onset of severe pain, loss of bladder or bowel control, or progressive weakness requires urgent evaluation.
What is the difference between an Orthopedist and a Physiotherapist?
An Orthopedist is a medical doctor who diagnoses musculoskeletal conditions, prescribes medications, orders imaging (X-ray, MRI), and performs surgery if needed. A Physiotherapist provides rehabilitation through exercises, stretching, and manual therapy. They often work together — the orthopedist diagnoses and the physiotherapist helps with recovery.
Can joint pain be treated without surgery?
Many joint conditions respond well to non-surgical treatment including medications (painkillers, anti-inflammatories), physiotherapy, weight management, joint injections (corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid), and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is typically considered only when conservative measures fail after 3-6 months.
At what age should I worry about osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis risk increases after age 45, especially in women. However, it can develop earlier in people with previous joint injuries, obesity, or genetic predisposition. Early signs include morning stiffness lasting less than 30 minutes, joint pain during activity, and crepitus (grinding sensation).
