Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see an orthopedic specialist for my knee pain?
If your knee pain is severe, persists for more than a week, is accompanied by swelling, redness, or a "locking" sensation, or if you cannot bear weight on it, it's time to see a specialist.
What is the difference between a sprain and a strain?
A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments (the tough bands of tissue that connect bones to each other), while a strain is a stretching or tearing of a muscle or a tendon (which connects muscle to bone).
What is plantar fasciitis and how is it treated?
Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of your foot. Treatment often involves rest, physical therapy, supportive footwear or orthotics, and sometimes anti-inflammatory injections.
