Orthopaedic doctors, or orthopaedists, are specialists who work on issues related to the musculoskeletal system. This system includes bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons and may sometimes extend to the nerves and the vascular.
Unfortunately, musculoskeletal issues may impact us at any age. The more we use a specific part of our body, the more that particular part will be exposed to potential problems. Sometimes, it could be a result of our posture or that weight gain which takes a toll on our knees. Orthopaedists aim to diagnose and treat these issues so that you can continue performing your daily tasks without problems.

Some problems which orthopaedists treat include:
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) related injuries
- Achilles rupture
- Arthritis
- Back and neck aches
- Joint and mobility issues
- Pinched nerves
- Scoliosis
- Spinal discs issues
- Whiplashes
Orthopaedists vs Chiropractors. Which should you choose?
Despite diagnosing and treating issues around the musculoskeletal system, orthopaedic doctors and chiropractors have different approaches to these issues.
Chiropractors focus on spine-oriented treatments
The chiropractic philosophy centres on maintaining a healthy spinal column for a healthy body. A spine has an impact on the musculoskeletal system. Hence, once it’s aligned, these musculoskeletal issues may alleviate and hopefully dissolve. Some chiropractic procedures include:
- Identifying potential postural and other health issues through X-Ray scans
- Analysing patient’s posture, spine and reflexes through hands-on manipulation
- Perform neuromusculoskeletal therapy, a hands-on process to adjust a patient’s spine and various joints.
- Identifying and diagnosing other related health issues as a result of a misaligned spine, such as headaches and migraines.
- Provide referrals to other health care professionals such as doctors.
Unlike orthopaedists, chiropractors do not prescribe medicine, as mandated by several health ministries worldwide. They believe that the body can heal on its own and are often more receptive to an alternate mode of treatments such as acupuncture.
Orthopaedic doctors use medical practices such as prescriptions and surgery, to treat musculoskeletal problems
There are certainly areas where chiropractors can’t reach while orthopaedists could. One such area can be a severe injury, which results in a dislocated or fractured bone. Other situations which require an urgent call for an orthopaedic doctor can include chronic pain and mobility issues.
Some of their duties include:
- Performing physical examination to identify potential problems.
- Examining and diagnosing potential musculoskeletal issues through X-Rays, CT (Computer Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans.
- Perform surgery for dislocated bones and joints and reconnect nerves, improving the overall musculoskeletal system.
- Provide non-biological implants to strengthen and repair the affected parts of the musculoskeletal framework.
- Prescribe medications for pain relief.
