    When to See an Orthopedic Specialist

    Joint pain is common, so how do you know when it warrants a visit with an orthopedic specialist? If you have lasting pain that is keeping you from your normal activities or daily life, consider making an appointment.

    Common reasons to see an orthopedic specialist include:

    • Arthritis in your elbow, hip, or knee
    • Limited range of motion
    • Muscle or joint pain that started after an accident or injury
    • Pain that lasts for months or years
    • Soft tissue injuries that are not healing on their own
    • Tingling or numbness in your hands
    • Trouble climbing stairs
    • Trouble walking or standing without discomfort or pain
    • Worsening hip or knee pain

    Clinton Memorial Hospital’s orthopedic specialists can evaluate and diagnose your concerns, offer treatment, and provide orthopedic surgery if needed.

    Making a Diagnosis

    The orthopedic doctors at Clinton Memorial Hospital are specialists in diagnosing and treating joint pain. As part of your evaluation and diagnosis, they will consider:

    • A physical exam
    • The strength of your muscles
    • Your medical history
    • Your range of motion
    • Your opinions and pain level

    As a result of the exam, your doctor may ask you to have an X-ray or an MRI. These tests will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis.

    Orthopedic Surgery: What to Expect

    In some cases of orthopedic injury or joint pain, surgery will be recommended. The orthopedic surgeons at Clinton Memorial Hospital are board-certified and fellowship trained in specialties including foot & ankle, hand and upper extremity, hip, knee, shoulder, spine, and sports medicine.

    They pride themselves on utilizing the latest technology and surgical techniques, tailoring the care they provide to the specific needs of each patient. Included is arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems. Arthroscopic surgery is commonly performed in the shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, hand, wrist, foot, or ankle.

    Other patients may require full joint replacement surgery. In each case, the orthopedic surgeons at Clinton Memorial Hospital perform surgical procedures to lessen pain, reduce recovery time, and allow you to regain the full use of the joint as soon as possible.

    A rehabilitation program with our physical and occupational therapists will help you get back to functioning at your fullest potential following surgery.
