Shams Clinic Orthopedic Department
Orthopedics is dedicated to treating the musculoskeletal system, which encompasses muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. An orthopedist is a specialist in this field.
Orthopedists use surgical and nonsurgical methods to treat musculoskeletal conditions, including sports injuries, joint pain and back problems, spinal diseases, medical injuries, and congenital disorders.
Orthopedic conditions can be treated surgically or non-surgically with medications, physical therapy, exercise, alternative therapies, or with a combination of surgical procedures, including some minimally invasive procedures that cause less damage to the body than traditional open surgery.
The overall goal of orthopedic treatments is to maintain or restore the musculoskeletal system.
Doctors who specialize in orthopedics are called orthopedic surgeons, though not all perform surgery. An orthopedic surgeon is qualified to diagnose and manage problems of the musculoskeletal system that affect the bones and soft tissues (ligaments, tendons) in the body. In addition, an orthopedic specialist can recommend rehabilitation methods to patients that may enhance the effectiveness of their treatments. He or she can also provide effective orthopedic education and guidance to patients on preventing orthopedic injuries and diseases.
Also involved in the field of orthopedics and the provision of orthopedic health care are several other highly trained professionals, including nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who are specifically trained in orthopedics; pain and physical medicine physicians; athletic trainers; and physical therapists.
At Shams Clinic, our specialist physicians are available 24/7 to provide continuous, high-quality medical care to our patients.
