What is orthopaedics?

Orthopaedics is the branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions that affect your bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These structures support your movement, maintain posture, and provide stability.

If you're struggling with joint pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, or an injury, orthopaedic treatments can help restore movement and reduce discomfort. At Get Well Soon, you can access leading orthopaedic consultants quickly, without long waiting times.

Common symptoms that may require orthopaedic treatment

You may need to see an orthopaedic specialist if you're experiencing any of the following symptoms:

Joint pain or swelling – common in the knees, hips, shoulders, or hands
Stiffness and reduced movement – difficulty bending, straightening, or rotating a joint
Clicking, popping, or grinding sensations – often a sign of cartilage damage or arthritis
Joint instability or weakness – feeling like a joint may "give way"
Nerve pain, tingling, or numbness – particularly in your hands, feet, or limbs
Pain after an injury – that doesn’t improve with rest or physiotherapy
Difficulty walking or standing – due to chronic pain or joint problems

If any of these symptoms are affecting your daily life, getting an early diagnosis and the right treatment can prevent further damage and improve your quality of life.

How are orthopaedic conditions diagnosed?

Your orthopaedic consultant will carry out a full assessment to identify the cause of your symptoms. This usually includes:

Physical examination

Checking your range of motion, strength, and joint stability
Identifying pain points, swelling, and inflammation

Imaging tests

X-rays – detect fractures, arthritis, and joint damage
MRI scans – assess soft tissue injuries, ligament tears, and cartilage problems
CT scans – provide detailed images of your bones and joints
Ultrasound – used for tendon injuries, inflammation, and soft tissue conditions

Joint fluid analysis

If you have joint swelling, your doctor may take a sample of fluid to test for infection, gout, or inflammation

Once you have a clear diagnosis, your consultant will discuss treatment options that best suit your needs.
