Here are answers to some common questions about Orthopedic care with Dr. Matthew Stiebel:
- What is an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Stiebel is an orthopedic surgeon, a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. He provides both surgical and non-surgical care, focusing on pain relief and restoring function for seniors.
- Does seeing an orthopedic surgeon automatically mean I need surgery?
- Absolutely not. Dr. Stiebel's practice focuses on finding the best treatment plan for each individual, often starting with conservative options like physical therapy, injections, or bracing. Surgery is only considered when it's the most beneficial way to restore function and quality of life.
- What can be done for the numbness and tingling in my hand?
- Numbness and tingling in the hand are classic symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched nerve at the wrist. Initial treatment often involves bracing or a steroid injection. If symptoms persist, Dr. Stiebel can perform a quick outpatient surgery to release the pressure on the nerve and provide lasting relief.
- What is a cortisone injection?
- A cortisone injection is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication injected directly into a painful area, such as a knee or shoulder. It works by reducing swelling and inflammation, often providing significant, though temporary, pain relief for conditions like arthritis or tendonitis. It's a safe and effective tool to manage flare-ups.
- My ankle feels weak and painful. What are my options?
- Chronic ankle pain and instability in seniors can be caused by arthritis or old ligament injuries. Treatment often begins with supportive bracing, physical therapy, and injections. For severe cases, Dr. Stiebel can discuss surgical options like ankle fusion or, in some cases, total ankle replacement to provide stability and pain relief.
- How is a broken hip (hip fracture) treated in seniors?
- A hip fracture in an older adult is a serious injury, almost always requiring surgery to stabilize the bone. The type of surgery depends on the specific fracture pattern. The primary goal is to relieve pain and get the patient moving again as quickly and safely as possible, often with the help of physical therapists.
- What is the recovery like after a knee or hip replacement?
- Recovery after a knee or hip replacement is a process involving a hospital stay and extensive physical therapy. Modern techniques often allow patients to walk on the same day as surgery. The goal is to regain strength and motion, and most patients experience significant pain relief and return to many daily activities within a few months.
- What is joint replacement surgery?
- Joint replacement surgery, performed by Dr. Stiebel, is a procedure to replace a damaged, arthritic joint with a new, artificial implant. The goal is to relieve the bone-on-bone pain of severe arthritis, and this very successful procedure dramatically improves mobility, reduces pain, and restores independence for activities like walking and climbing stairs.
