Frequently Asked Questions

What types of orthopedic specialties are offered?

OrthoNY provides specialty care for nearly every part of the body. Patients have access to experts in elbow, shoulder, knee, hip, spine, hand and wrist, foot and ankle, sports medicine, and pain management. These teams treat a range of conditions, including fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, chronic joint pain, and neck and back conditions, offering highly focused care tailored to each patient.

How do I know which doctor or specialty is right for my condition?

The right specialty depends on where symptoms occur and the nature of the problem. Hip, knee, and foot and ankle specialists focus on lower body concerns such as joint pain, instability, and injuries. Shoulder, elbow, and hand and wrist teams manage upper extremity issues, including tendon injuries and arthritis. For back or neck pain, the spine and pain management teams provide both conservative and surgical options.

What is the difference between an orthopedic doctor and a sports medicine doctor?

While both treat injuries and musculoskeletal conditions, their focus is slightly different. Orthopedic doctors diagnose and treat a full spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, from arthritis and fractures to joint replacement and spinal surgery. Sports medicine physicians specialize in caring for injuries caused during sports or activities. Nearly all OrthoNY sports medicine physicians are orthopedic surgeons who specialize in sports medicine.

How are chronic conditions like arthritis treated across specialties?

Arthritis, which is inflammation of a joint, can affect the hips, knees, shoulders, hands, elbows, or ankles, and can be diagnosed and treated by orthopedic providers. Depending on the location and severity of your arthritis, your surgeon may recommend noninvasive treatments first, including medications and joint injections that can relieve pain for weeks or months. If noninvasive and injection treatments fail to provide lasting relief, your orthopedic surgeon may recommend surgery, such as total or partial joint replacement, or joint resurfacing.
