Overview
Orthopedics (sometimes spelled orthopaedic) is the branch of medicine that diagnoses and treats conditions, diseases and injuries of the musculoskelatal system—the body's muscles, bones, joints and their supporting structures (ligaments, tendons and nerves).
The team of experts at Providence Orthopedic Services diagnoses and treats musculoskeletal injuries, fractures and pain. They also design rehabilitation programs for patients. Our team includes physicians, surgeons and health care professionals, such as physical therapists, occupational therapists and nurses who provide comprehensive orthopedic care to help patients resume normal activities and health.
