What can an orthopaedic specialist do for arthritis?

An orthopaedic surgeon can prescribe several treatment options to treat the symptoms that affect your musculoskeletal system. These treatment options include:

1. Corticosteroids injections for pain management
2. Develop a course of treatment for managing arthritis pain in athletes
3. Platelet-rich plasma therapy to reduce pain and achieve better function
4. Physical therapy to improve strength, mobility, flexibility, balance, and coordination
5. Surgical procedures to replace damaged joints (used when conservative methods fail)
