Orthopedics is primarily a surgical specialty, although there are a few physicians and medical professionals who practice non-surgical orthopedics such as sports medicine, or physical medicine.
Other than surgery, orthopedic surgeons may prescribe medications, physical therapy, or steroid injections to treat a variety of injuries or conditions such as arthritis of the joints, pulled muscles, and other orthopedic issues.
Most patients with lumbar degenerative disc disease will experience low-grade continuous but tolerable pain that will occasionally flare (intensify) for a few days or more. Symptoms can vary, but the general characteristics usually include: Pain that is centered on the lower back, although it can radiate to the hips and legs and Pain that is frequently worse when sitting when the discs experience a heavier load than when patients are standing, walking or even laying down.
Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care to patients with orthopedic and musculoskeletal injuries and illnesses. We strive to help our patients return to a healthy and active lifestyle by offering a wide range of treatment options, including both orthopedic surgery and non-surgical treatments. Orthopedic in NJ understand that each individual requires a personalized evaluation and treatment plan tailored to his/her specific needs.
Don't let the term "degenerative" confuse you; degenerative disc disease does not necessarily get worse with age. While the disc degeneration is likely to progress over time, the associated pain usually does not get worse and in fact usually gets better over time.
