Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that deals with the conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system of the body. The musculoskeletal system comprises of bones, muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons and nerves, etc. Orthopedic surgeons use surgical as well as non-surgical means to treat their patients. Orthopedists also use noninvasive or minimally invasive diagnostic techniques to evaluate a potential injury. Many of these techniques can now be performed in office.
Orthopedic surgeons like Dr. Hayden specialize in identifying and then treating some of the following disease conditions:
Dr. Hayden has received his orthopedic training from the Harvard Combined Orthopedic Residency Program. He is focused on the concerns of his patients. Orthopedists do not always opt for surgical procedures to treat their patients, but also use various non-surgical means of treating their patients. Often, these non-surgical methods are used before moving to surgery. Some non-surgical means include physiotherapy, reparative treatments, oral anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections [2], hyaluronic injection, traction etc.
