Reasons To Seek Orthopedic Care

Here are some common problems and pains that should be checked by our qualified Orthopedist at Westchester Medical Healthcare.

Sciatica pain can be VERY distracting.

Usually, this lower back pain extends through the leg and also continues down into the foot. Afrequent cause of sciatica pain is a slipped disc; the sciatic nerve gets aggravated as one of the rubbery discs between two boney vertebrae in the spine bulges past where it is supposed to extend.

The pain can be quite serious hampering movement for the affected person. For 90% of the people affected, the pain goes away with time. However, if this pain lasts longer than six weeks, it can cause permanent damage.

Lower back pain is one of the most common problems in the world. As many as 80% of adults suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. Sufferers can have a dull or a sharp pain depending on what and why it is caused.

There can be many different causes for lower back pain. Heavy lifting, eating habits and lifestyle, work routines, and other factors can give rise to severe or mild back pain. These can last from few days to few weeks and can also be persistent for longer periods of time.

Ice, heat, and pain relievers might help with minor hip pains, but fail to do much when you have  amore serious issue. Your hipsmay deteriorate witharthritis. Sudden intense hip pain can cause restricted movements and a feeling of anguish every time you move even slightly.

Usual work routines and repetitive strains, from a sport for example, on certain parts of the body can also be the cause of injury.

When hip pain is not going away and is restricting your movements in daily life with no other treatments working, you might be in need of a clinical hip replacement. Orthopedic surgeons in the Bronx help with proper hip replacement surgeries.

If you have a damaged or diseased hip with an artificial joint, a hip replacement surgery might be recommended.
