When do you need to go to an appointment with an orthopedist-traumatologist?
Diseases in orthopedics can appear as a result of trauma, viral complications, or be congenital. In case of injury or acute pain, patients usually go to the doctor immediately, but there are also less pronounced symptoms in which the visit to the clinic should not be postponed either.
You need to make an appointment with an orthopedist if:
- hands go numb;
- the joint is swollen or pain appears when moving;
- rapid back fatigue;
- Acute or chronic pain in the neck, lower back, or chest (persistent, increasing, or manifested by physical exertion);
- sudden aching muscle pain;
- aches in bad weather;
- poor joint mobility, muscle stiffness;
- crunching in the joints when squatting, bending-extending arms or legs, turning the neck, etc.
Pain in different parts of the spine is often associated with diseases of the nervous system. In such cases, your doctor may advise you to seek help from a neurologist. Usually, congenital diseases are not accompanied by pain, and then they go to an orthopedist with disorders of the organs of the musculoskeletal system. An orthopedist, even without a traumatologist's specialization, can advise patients with dislocations, fractures, household injuries, sports stretches, tendon injuries, etc.
Who is a pediatric orthopedist?
The child needs an orthopedic consultation from the first days of life. It is included in the mandatory routine examination of newborns.
The main symptoms that are the reason for going to a pediatric orthopedist-traumatologist:
- congenital curvature of the limbs;
- congenital dislocation of the hip;
- improper positioning of the feet, fatigue while walking, discomfort;
- amyotrophy;
- flat feet;
- intervertebral hernia;
- constant head tilt to one shoulder - torticollis;

Often, it is in adolescence, due to long sitting at the time when the skeletal system is being formed, that disorders in the structure of the spine appear. Psychoemotional factors also affect - high growth or growth of girls' breasts, because of which adolescents subconsciously or consciously change their posture, hunch over, look at the floor. It is very important to see an orthopedist at this stage. When the problem first appeared, it can still be corrected with exercise without surgery.
