Orthopedics
Orthopedics is defined as the study of the human musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic doctors are physicians who have specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of problems to our musculoskeletal system, which includes: bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves.
Damage to these structures may potentially lead to an orthopedic surgery; however, Ability Rehabilitation offers non-surgical treatment options for many orthopedic problems.
