Frequently Asked Questions

Orthopedics is the area of medicine that focuses on your bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. At Hackensack Meridian Health, our orthopedic specialists care for everything from sprains and fractures to arthritis, back pain, and joint replacement surgery.

If you have mild, short-term aches, your primary doctor may be able to help. But if pain is severe, lasts longer than a few days, limits your movement, or comes after an injury, it’s time to see an orthopedic specialist at HMH. Our experts provide advanced diagnosis and personalized treatment to get you moving again.

The orthopedic team at Hackensack Meridian Health regularly treats:

  • Broken bones (fractures)
  • Sprains (ligament injuries)
  • Strains (muscle or tendon injuries)
  • Sports injuries like ACL tears or shoulder problems
  • Joint pain from arthritis or overuse

Prevention is key. Our specialists recommend:

  • Staying active with walking, swimming, or cycling
  • Strengthening muscles to support your joints
  • Eating foods rich in calcium and vitamin D
  • Keeping a healthy weight to reduce stress on your knees and hips

Hackensack Meridian Health also offers bone health programs to help patients lower their risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Delaying treatment can make injuries worse and recovery longer. For example, an untreated fracture may heal incorrectly, and untreated arthritis can cause permanent joint damage. The good news: Hackensack Meridian Health has a full range of non-surgical and surgical options to relieve pain and restore mobility.
