What is Orthopedic Rehabilitation?

Rehabilitation to the musculoskeletal system is needed to treat conditions like arthritis, bursitis, frozen shoulder, knee instability, knee pain, neck pain, low back pain, lymphedema, plantar fasciitis, scoliosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, tendinopathies, and recovery post-surgery. Orthopedic rehabilitation is a special branch of medicine that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, which includes your bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage along with the muscles that are attached. Some individuals will receive therapy prior to having surgery to improve their chances of having a successful recovery.
