Orthopedics at Divine Hospital provides assessment and treatment for problems affecting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and movement. Patients may seek care for fractures, sprains, sports injuries, back or neck pain, arthritis, joint stiffness and difficulty walking. The orthopedic evaluation combines a clinical examination with relevant X-rays or other investigations to determine the location, severity and likely cause of the problem.
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include medicines, supportive braces, casting, activity modification, rehabilitation guidance or a surgical opinion. The plan is selected according to the injury, age, daily activity, overall health and recovery goals of each patient. Where surgery or hospital admission is needed, the orthopedic team coordinates with diagnostic, nursing, pharmacy and inpatient services to maintain continuity throughout treatment.
Follow-up is an important part of orthopedic recovery because healing, alignment, strength and mobility may change over time. Patients receive clear advice about weight-bearing, exercises, pain control, precautions and the safe return to work or routine activities. Early assessment is especially important after a fall, accident or sudden loss of movement, and 24x7 emergency support is available for injuries that require urgent attention.
