An orthopaedic specialist is a physician who is uniquely trained to treat disorders and injuries that affect the body’s musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, muscles, and connective tissues. Many of these conditions negatively impact range of motion and the ability to move as normal. If you are experiencing pain while walking, sitting, bending over, or moving in general, it’s important to consult with a reputable orthopaedic specialist near your home in the Tampa, St. Petersburg, or Clearwater, Florida, area.
Of course, it is perfectly normal to have aches and pains every once in a while. Sore joints and muscles can often be remedied at home with heat/ice therapy, gentle stretching exercises, and over-the-counter medications that reduce pain and inflammation. However, consider visiting an orthopaedic specialist if your condition does not improve with these techniques.
