Signs You Need an Orthopedist

It can be difficult figuring out where pain is coming from and what type of medical specialist is best suited to address your needs. In most cases, your primary care physician should be your first call for medical issues. Primary physicians will refer their patients to specialists when they need more advanced care. However, physicians do not always recommend specialists as quickly as people need them. If you experience any of the following signs of an orthopedic condition, mention the possibility to your physician or seek out an orthopedist on your own.

An orthopedist can help you if you experience:

  • Chronic back pain
  • Chronic joint pains
  • Your range of motion is limited
  • You have difficulty standing or walking due to pain
  • You injured a joint (like a sprained ankle) and the swelling has not gone down after 2 days
  • Tasks such as walking upstairs or opening jars cause pain and discomfort
