Orthopedic medicine deals with anything related to the musculoskeletal system. This means that it deals with your muscles, your bones, your joints, tendons, and ligaments. That is a very broad category but all of those elements are related. If you are having pain in some part of your musculoskeletal system, there are many different ways to deal with that. You can work with a doctor to help you assess the problem and how to deal with it. Sometimes, the pain can be dealt with by changing your shoes, changing the way you sit, adding a knee brace, or other simple measures. Sometimes, you need surgery. It’s best to choose minimally invasive surgery if you can. That would mean things such as simple incisions and injections.
Injections
One of the most efficient ways to deal with musculoskeletal pains is an injection. A doctor will inject you with a corticosteroid at the site of your pain. The usefulness of the corticosteroid depends on the source of the pain. In many cases, the pain is from tearing and/or inflammation at the site of injury. A corticosteroid boosts the healing capacity of your joints and ligaments at the site where it is injected. You will quickly begin to recover after your minimally invasive surgery in Sacramento, CA. Not every case is right for a corticosteroid.
You need to contact Dr. Scott Fujii Orthopedics if you have musculoskeletal pain. The doctor will be able to tell you what type of treatment is right for you.
Healing Pace
Minimally invasive surgery has been found to increase the rate of healing in many people. It increases the rate of healing because you can deliver helpful drugs directly to the site of the pain. A steroid is made of hormones that boost the healing and repair of your muscles and joints. Injecting them right at the site of the pain is a great way to ensure that the steroids get where they need to go.
