1. What is an orthopedic doctor and what do they do?

An orthopedic doctor (also called an orthopaedic surgeon) is a medical expert who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions of the musculoskeletal system—including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. They treat issues such as fractures, arthritis, back pain, joint problems, and sports injuries.

 

2. Which body parts does an orthopedic doctor treat?

Orthopedic doctors specialize in areas including the hand and wrist, foot and ankle, knee, shoulder, elbow, neck, back, and hips. At Advanced Joint Care Center in Ghatkopar, Mumbai, Dr. Mayur Rabhadiya offers comprehensive care for all of these areas.

 

3. Do orthopedic doctors always recommend surgery?

No. Surgery is usually a last resort. Most orthopedic conditions are first treated with non-surgical methods such as physical therapy, rest, lifestyle changes, and medications. Minimally invasive surgery may be suggested if conservative treatments fail.

 

4. What are common conditions treated by orthopedic specialists in Mumbai?

During your visit, your orthopedic doctor will evaluate your symptoms, physical activity habits, and medical history. They may recommend diagnostic tests such as X-rays or blood tests to determine the best course of treatment.

 

8. What non-surgical treatments do orthopedic doctors provide?
