Orthopedic Rehab

Orthopedic health encompasses the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Having a healthy musculoskeletal system is important for performing activities of daily living, working, exercising, and enjoying your hobbies. Orthopedic issues can have a negative impact on both your physical and mental health, leading to pain and decreased mobility, stress, anxiety, and depression. Therefore, it’s important to consult a qualified orthopedic specialist if you are experiencing musculoskeletal symptoms. The skilled Physical Therapists at WITCORF Physical Therapy can help you overcome your pain or mobility issues.

The Musculoskeletal System

• Your musculoskeletal system helps to provide stability and support to your body and allows you to move. It’s divided into two systems: the muscular and the skeletal systems.

• The muscular system includes all types of muscles in your body, as well as the tendons that attach your muscles to your bones.

• The skeletal system includes the bones of your body, which connect to form joints that provide your body with a skeleton. Accessory structures, including cartilage, ligaments, and bursae, provide form and function to your bones and joints.

• Symptoms of musculoskeletal problems include pain, loss of motion, inflammation, stiffness, numbness, weakness, instability, or deformity.
