WHM’s team of Orthopaedic Surgeons specialize in the surgical and non-surgical treatment of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
The goal of WHM’s Orthopaedic Surgeons is to diagnose and effectively treat conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system, in order to relieve pain, restore function, and improve their patients’ quality of life.
WHM Orthopaedic Surgeons work with a team of healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care to their patients. The size and composition of the team can vary depending on the practice and the specific needs of the patients.
The team may include other medical doctors, such as primary care physicians, or specialists in related fields such as sports medicine, rheumatology, or neurology.
In addition to Medical Doctors, the team may also include other healthcare professionals such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, physician assistants, and medical assistants. These professionals may provide support for pre-operative and post-operative care, patient education, and rehabilitation.
By working collaboratively with a team, WHM’s Orthopaedic Surgeons can provide more comprehensive care to their patients, helping to ensure that patients receive the best possible outcomes and a higher quality of life.
Physical therapists can play a critical role in evaluating and preparing patients for surgery. They can assess the patient’s mobility, strength, and overall function to help the Orthopaedic Surgeon develop a more effective surgical plan.
Physical Therapists can work collaboratively with Orthopaedic Surgeons to develop a customized rehabilitation plan for each patient after surgery. This may involve exercises to promote healing, improve range of motion, and restore strength and function.
Physical therapists can also provide non-surgical treatment options for musculoskeletal conditions, such as manual therapy, exercise, and education. This can help patients manage their symptoms and prevent the need for surgery in some cases.
Physical therapists can educate patients about their condition, treatment options, and strategies for managing their symptoms. This can help patients become more informed and active participants in their care.
Orthopaedic Surgeons and Physical Therapists can work collaboratively to ensure that patients receive comprehensive care. They can communicate regularly to monitor the patient’s progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed to optimize outcomes.
