Frequently Asked Questions

What is orthopedic care?

Orthopedic care focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. That includes everything from arthritis and sports injuries to fractures and conditions that require surgery, like joint replacement.

When should I see an orthopedic doctor?

Consider scheduling a visit if you have joint pain, stiffness, or swelling that doesn’t improve with rest, an injury that limits your movement, or a condition that's affecting your day-to-day life. An orthopedic doctor can also help if you've tried other treatments without relief.

Do I need a referral to see an orthopedic doctor at Penn Highlands?

Every insurance plan handles referrals a little differently, and location can factor in too, so it’s worth a quick check with your plan before you book. Not sure where to start? Our team is glad to help you sort it out.

What's the difference between an orthopedic doctor and a physical therapist?

An orthopedic doctor diagnoses and treats conditions of the bones, joints, and muscles, and may recommend surgery when it’s needed. A physical therapist works with you on exercises and hands-on techniques to rebuild strength, flexibility, and mobility, often as part of the same treatment plan.

Do you treat urgent orthopedic injuries, like a broken bone?<

Yes. For fractures and other orthopedic trauma, our orthopedic trauma team and walk-in fracture clinic provide prompt care without a trip to the emergency room for
