Orthopedists and Orthopedic Surgeons
Our practice is devoted exclusively to the medical and surgical care of injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system - the muscles, bones and joints that make up the body's skeletal framework. The word Orthopaedic (modern spelling orthopedic) comes from the Greek meaning "child straightening", because the specialty originally dealt with such childhood deformities as polio and rickets. At the turn of the 20th century, orthopedists began treating adult disorders and fractures as well.
