How to Know When It’s Time to See an Orthopaedist?

Common Signs It’s Time to See a Specialist

• Persistent pain that lasts longer than a few weeks

• Swelling, stiffness, or redness that doesn’t improve

• Limited range of motion or weakness

• Clicking, locking, or “giving out” of a joint

• Numbness, tingling, or radiating pain

Why Early Evaluation Matters

Delaying care can worsen injuries. A thorough orthopaedic evaluation may include physical exams, imaging (like MRI or X-rays), and a discussion of your lifestyle and goals. At OCSF, early intervention allows our specialists to design personalized, conservative treatment plans before surgery becomes necessary.

 What to Expect at OCSF

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation, diagnostic imaging if needed, and an individualized treatment plan that may involve physical therapy, medication, or minimally invasive procedures.
