Conditions We Treat: General Orthopedic Care for Pain & Mobility
Many orthopedic conditions, like arthritis or joint pain, can impact multiple parts of the body at once. That’s why general orthopedics plays such a vital role in helping you understand what’s causing your discomfort and how to treat it effectively.
Our general orthopedists are often the first step for patients navigating pain, mobility limitations, or injuries. We specialize in evaluating and managing a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, most of which don’t require surgery or sub-specialist care right away. Some of the most common conditions we address every day include
Joint & Bone Conditions
- Osteoarthritis (hip, knee, shoulder, and more)
- Rheumatoid arthritis (early stage management
- Bursitis and tendinitis
- Osteoporosis-related fractures
Injuries
- Sprains and strains
- Simple, non-surgical fractures
- Dislocations
- Overuse injuries like tennis elbow or jumper’s knee
Musculoskeletal Pain
- Back and neck pain (non-surgical)
- Muscle spasms and general joint pain
- Growing pains in children
- Post-injury pain from daily activities
Mobility & Function Concerns
- Gait abnormalities
- Limited range of motion
- Postural issues
- Early signs of joint degeneration
Most of these conditions are treated with conservative, non-surgical approaches such as physical therapy, bracing, or targeted injections. And if your condition requires specialized care, we’ll help you transition smoothly to one of our in-house experts, who cover specialities like hand & wrist, total joint replacement, foot & ankle, knee, shoulder & elbow, spine, and hip.
We’re here to be your trusted resource for orthopedic care. Let’s get you back to moving comfortably again.
How We Diagnose Joint Pain, Injuries, and Orthopedic Conditions
Joint pain, stiffness, or injuries can be frustrating, especially when you’re not sure what’s causing them. At MROrthopedics, we understand that getting the answers you need starts with a thoughtful, thorough diagnostic visit.
Our general orthopedists are trained to evaluate pain and dysfunction across the entire musculoskeletal system. Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury or handling a chronic issue, we’re here to listen, assess, and help you move forward with confidence. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
- Detailed Medical History: We begin by understanding your symptoms, activity level, medical history, and any previous injuries.
- Physical Examination: Your provider will evaluate joint mobility, stability, swelling, and strength to pinpoint the issue.
- On-Site Imaging: Most of our locations offer on-site X-rays, and we’ll coordinate MRI or ultrasound referrals if needed.
- Functional Assessments: We may assess how your body moves, balances, or bears weight to uncover hidden limitations.
For many patients, this entire process can be completed in a single visit or extra appointments, and for some health plans, no prior authorization is required. We also offer same-day evaluations and welcome walk-ins for urgent orthopedic needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Orthopedic Care
What is General Orthopedics?
General orthopedics focuses on diagnosing and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, like joint pain, bone injuries, arthritis, and mobility issues, without immediately referring to a specialist. It’s often the best first step when you’re experiencing discomfort or injury.
What is the Role of an Orthopedic Doctor?
Orthopedic doctors specialize in the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons that keep you moving. They evaluate pain, order imaging tests, provide non-surgical treatments (like PRP injections or physical therapy), and perform surgery when necessary.
When Should I See an Orthopedic Doctor?
You should consider seeing an orthopedic doctor if you’re experiencing joint pain, swelling, reduced mobility, or if an injury hasn’t improved with rest. Early evaluation can prevent problems from getting worse and help you recover faster.
Do I Need a General Orthopedist or a Specialist?
A general orthopedist can diagnose and treat most musculoskeletal issues. If your condition requires advanced care, like surgery or a sub-specialty, we’ll connect you with one of our in-house experts. There’s no need to navigate the process alone!
