An orthopedic surgeon is a medical doctor who is uniquely trained to treat disorders of the body’s musculoskeletal system — which includes the bones, joints, cartilage, ligaments, and other connective tissues — with conservative or surgical techniques. Every case is unique, but as a general rule of thumb, it is wise to consult an orthopedic surgeon near your home in St. Petersburg, Florida, if you are experiencing joint or muscle pain that does not improve with self-care measures like hot/cold therapy, over-the-counter medication, and gentle stretching. You may also want to consider receiving orthopedic care if your symptoms are accompanied by neuropathic symptoms, which include numbness, shooting pain, and tingling sensations.
