Orthopaedics is the field of study that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and deformities to the human musculoskeletal system. This includes disorders that affect the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, as well as the nerves and the skin.
Much of orthopaedics is dedicated to surgical procedures, as many injuries to the muscles, joints and bones may only be able to be healed using surgery. At Bay Area Orthopaedic and Sports Specialists, we offer both surgical and non-surgical treatments with one of the top orthopaedic surgeons the Bay Area and Oakland have to offer.
