An orthopedic surgeon is a medical doctor who is specially trained to diagnose and treat conditions that impact the body’s musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, joints, muscles, cartilage, and other connective tissues. While not all aches and pains require professional treatment, there are a few signs that may indicate you should consult with a specialist near your home in Brandon, Florida.
Consider speaking with an orthopedic surgeon if your symptoms:
- Are severe in nature
- Grow worse or do not improve despite several days of self-care measures, such as over-the-counter pain medications, heat/cold therapy, and gentle stretching
- Make it difficult for you to perform basic activities, such as walking or getting dressed
- Include uncomfortable numbness or tingling sensations
