We are proud to introduce our orthopedic selection in our online store. It has been an important mission for us to make people’s lives better by making orthopedic devices available for people all over the world. What are orthopedic devices and how can it help people? We are trying to answer some of the most frequently asked questions in the following article.

WHAT IS ORTHOPEDICS?

Orthopedics is a medical specialty that involves the treatment of bones and muscles. Orthopedic surgery is the branch of diseases, injuries, and conditions of the body's muscles and skeleton, and including the joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves.

Orthopedics focus on the treatment of the musculoskeletal system. Only a medical specialist, such as an orthopedic, who is trained to relieve pain that develops in the bones, joints, and ligaments of the body, should inject orthopedic devices. Orthopedists use medical, physical and rehabilitative methods as well as surgery, and are trained in all aspects of health care pertaining to the musculoskeletal system.

An orthopedist treats pain that arises in the skeleton and its attachments. They also treat problems of the nervous system, such as those that arise from injury of the spine.

THE ORTHOPEDICS TREATMENTS 

An amazing fact about our selection of orthopedics is that they can replace or postpone surgery over a longer period. Also, some orthopedic conditions are treated with non-surgical procedures as first, followed by surgery as the next step. Injections are one of the most common treatments. There are several types of injections and it is applied mostly for pain relief and anti-inflammatory purposes.

One of the most frequent disorders is osteoarthritis of the knee. It develops slowly and the pain worsens over time. Although there is no cure for osteoarthritis, there are many treatments available to help manage the pain and stay active. People with osteoarthritis have a lower concentration of hyaluronic acid in their joints than the average individual. Hyaluronic acid acts as lubrication between bones and cartilage. Viscosupplementation treatments with hyaluronic acid, injected into the arthritic knee joint may improve movement and reduce pain.

The patient’s treatment may involve medical counseling, medications, casts, splints, therapies, exercises or even surgery. For most orthopedic diseases and injuries, there is more than one form of treatment.

Typically, as much as 50% of the orthopedist’s practice is devoted to non-surgical or medical management of injuries or disease and the remaining 50% to surgical management. Surgery may be needed to restore loss of mobility as a result of injury or disease of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves or skin.
