Spectrum of Orthopaedic Services
The field of Orthopaedics includes a wide variety of treatments affecting the musculoskeletal system including the joints, bones, ligaments, muscles, tendons, skin, and nerves. Many conditions fall under this umbrella – from the assessment and treatment of fractures and dislocations, management and rehabilitation for sports injuries, sprains and strains, chronic pain in the back, bone deformities, arthritis, paediatric orthopaedic conditions, pain in various parts of the body, and much more.
LIFE Medical Centres are built to address, test for, and treat certain conditions such as scoliosis and sciatica that appear without notice. Our specialized doctors, with wide and versatile experience, have been certified by various sports boards and organizations including FIFA to gain total command over any Sports related trauma and injury.
Other suddenly appearing conditions such as herniated discs and pinched nerves can also be tackled swiftly with LIFE’s reliable staff. Meanwhile, issues such as arthritis that affect the elderly can also be treated and managed through expert care. Our centres offer services that take special care of the elderly, including ‘priority tokens’ that take any emergencies into account.
When to consult your Life Orthopaedic
In case you experience pain or swelling, especially in the bone, joint, or muscle, it’s best to visit your nearest LIFE clinic immediately. Take special care to notice if your condition affects the performance of any daily activities or inhibits your range of motion in a certain joint such as the knee, elbow, or shoulder. This is a sign that you should consult an expert.
No matter your age – no pain should be ignored. If you or someone you care, is frequently experiencing pain while walking standing, ascending, or descending stairs, it is important to consult an orthopaedic to understand why and how best to mitigate the condition.
Other enduring pains in the body such as the neck, back, wrist, and elbow, persistent swelling in any joints, a suspected hairline fracture, or pain in the bone are all signs that your body is trying to communicate with you.
The best course of action is to listen empathetically to your own body and consult a trusted doctor. Many short-term pains can be easy to solve through instant repair and care. However, ignored pain often grows into a troublesome long-term relationship. The sooner you treat it, the better the outcome.
