Orthopedic services
Diagnosis
First, your orthopedic specialist examines you and asks how the problem started. Then, if needed, we arrange X-rays or other imaging with our medical imaging specialist, as well as blood tests in our laboratory.
Non-surgical treatment
Many bone and joint problems improve without surgery. For example, we use pain relief, splints, casts, joint injections and guided exercise.
Surgery when you need it
When surgery is the best option, our orthopedic and general surgery teams explain the procedure, the risks and the recovery time before you decide.
Rehabilitation
Recovery does not end when you leave the clinic. That is why our physiotherapy team helps you rebuild strength and movement after injury or surgery.
When to see an orthopedic doctor
- You think you have broken a bone or dislocated a joint
- Joint pain lasts more than a few weeks
- A joint is swollen, stiff or gives way
- Back or neck pain spreads into your arm or leg
- An injury stops you walking or using your arm normally
For a serious injury, come to the hospital straight away or call our ambulance service.
