What is Orthopaedics?

Orthopaedics is a speciality of medicine that deals with injuries and diseases of your body's musculoskeletal system, which includes joints, bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles and nerves that allow you move, work and be active.

What is the first step?

Common orthopaedic disorders are knee, back, neck pain and osteoarthritis. The first step is to be aware of the symptoms and causes of these disorders. While the initial symptoms of these issues are pain in the particular areas, there are many other symptoms to watch out for.

Knee pain occurs due to an injury, an underlying medical condition, or mechanical problems.  Symptoms of knee pain include unbearable pain, inability to flex knees, numb feeling in the knees, limping, not being able to stand, swelling, redness and fever with pain.

Symptoms of back pain include persistent aching or stiffness anywhere along the spine right from the base of the neck to the tail bone. Common causes of back pain include spine related disorders, accidents, injuries, lifestyle habits, underlying medical conditions.

Causes of neck pain include muscle sprain or strain, an underlying disease, injury, accidents, ageing. Common symptoms of neck pain include neck muscle spasm, tension, tenderness and stiffness.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis include tenderness in joints, loss of flexibility, bone spurs, stiffness in joints, grating sensation in joints, swelling. The exact causes of osteoarthritis are unclear. Research indicates that it is caused by a combination of factors such as heredity, weak muscles, auto-immune diseases, ageing, joint injury, stress, bacterial or viral infection and being overweight.
