Orthopedics — What is it?

When people think of orthopedics, they often think of hip surgery or broken limbs that need to be fixed. While these are often what patients see an orthopedist for, the specialty offers so much more.

The orthopedic specialty encompasses the entire musculoskeletal system. Our bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, and ligaments all work together to offer our bodies stability, range of motion, and structure for our other physical systems.

Breakdowns happen whether by accident, overuse, or long-term wear and tear — and this is where orthopedic specialists can assist.

Our orthopedic program helps patients heal and return to a quality of life with the support of other high-quality UP Health System services including lab, imaging, diagnostic testing, sports medicine services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, aquatic therapy, and athletic training.
