Orthopaedics: Restoring Mobility, Relieving Pain
Orthopaedics is a vital medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, preventing, and rehabilitating conditions related to the musculoskeletal system — which includes bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Whether it's a broken bone, chronic arthritis, or a sports injury, orthopaedic care plays a critical role in helping patients regain movement and live pain-free lives.
