You may think you have to “live with” pain that affects your bones, joints, or other tissues after suffering a sports injury or a slip and fall, or you have increasingly painful joints. The good news? Almost any condition affecting your joints, bones, muscles, ligaments, or tendons can be treated and even resolved. Seek orthopedic treatment if you have joint swelling or stiffness or any difficulties with mobility during everyday activities. These physical challenges may indicate you have a treatable musculoskeletal injury. Seeing an orthopedist is the first step to pain relief. At Butler Health System, we offer conservative, nonsurgical treatments like physical therapy and more aggressive therapies like minimally invasive surgery. Left untreated, orthopedic conditions can make the pain last longer and cause more severe problems requiring extensive treatment. We are here to help.
When medications and physical therapy are not enough to resolve your pain, it might be time to pursue other therapies, such as surgical intervention. This is especially true for wear-and-tear conditions that cannot be fixed through medication alone. During surgery, you will be under general anesthesia to render you unconscious and unable to detect pain. Once the procedure is over, be prepared for a follow-up treatment regimen that may include physical or occupational therapy prescribed by your orthopedic surgeon. After recovery, your doctor will clear you for any physical activities you did before or want to try.
